"The Parker Jewelry Company was
robbed of diamonds valued at $4,000
this afternoon. AS near as can be
learned, it seems that one of the
clerks had been waiting on some Gus
toners, and had, contrary to the in
structions in force in the store, left
one of the showcases containing the
tray of diamonds, unlocked. At some
time while his back was turned, tray
containing diamonds to the value stat
ed, was purloined. Two fashionably
dressed women, strangers to the pro-
prietor and the clerks were seen in
and out of the store during the after
noon. The assumption is that the two
women were working together, and
that while the clerks attention was
taken by one of them the other had
slipped her arm around the end of the
showcase, picked up the tray contain
ing the diamonds, then made a hurried
escape. The other woman, after look
ing over one smaller and less valua-
BILE pieces of jewelry, finally selected
a small scarf pin, for which she paid,
then left the store
Working along this theory, the
original theory of the Telegraph the
police are confident they will soon
have the thieves in custody"
