Diamonds Mysterious.y Miss
ing from Workroom Said to
Have Been Returned.
GONE SINCE APRIL Is.
Whether Stolen or Misplaced Is
Not Told, but Reward of
$1,000 Is Paid.

A report hat the mystery Of the dis.
appearance OF three diamonds valued al
300. 900 from the cutt!ns-room of Tiff
tany's establishment In Union Square or
April 5 had been solved was current In
police circles to-day. In the report was
carried the inference that the gems had
not been stolen. but had been mis-
p~laced-bv accident or ~design-in the
Tiffany establishment. 1t was said tina
the person who returned them received
a reward OF 1000.
When the loss OF the gems was made
public. early in May. Tiffany & Co.
offered n reward Of 5000 for their re-
turn and Of 5000 additional for infor-
nation tina would lead 10 the convlc-
ton Of the thief. That a reward Of only
s.. 100 was paid is taken to mean that
neither the TIFFANY concern nor the
police could establish withou: a reason
able doubt hat there had Leen a rob-
hery.
Matter Kept Secret.
Official confirmation of the report
could not be obtained. Inspector
O'Brien said he had heard OF 1t and
had sent Detective-Sergeant Price TO
Tirany's to make inquiries. Charles
Tiffany said that he had not heard the
report. Charles T. Cook. President of
Tiffany & Co, refused to discus the
case. but he refused TO deny the ruth
of the report.
The loss of the Tiffany Jewels was
one of the hardest problems the police
Ct New York ever tackled. They were
sure that 1t was an inside job"-hat
some employee had secured the dia-
.nonds and made away with them,
nut the only employees who could. by
tie rules of the house. have access to
them were above suspicion. Every
a who could by n possibility have
which the diamonds vanished was
questioned. but all were able to prove
mat they were not guilty.
Searched Europe for Confederate.
Finally Inspector O'Brien reached the
that some person on the in
side of the establishment stole the jew
els and conveyed them to a confederate
who was not known 10 the Tinanys,
and that this confederate went to Eu-
rope to sell or cut them. The diamond
centres OF Europe were watched by de.
tectives, descriptions Of the gems were
sent all over the world, experts every
where were asked TO look out for them
and the 10000 reward was an incentive
kept scores OF detectives busy.
The htuse OF Tiffany worked alone on
the case for nelrly three weeks and
then informed the police. BY that time
all trails were cold.
