SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 26.--
Finger marks in the dust on a jewel
box served as a clue which finally
lead to the identity and arrest of
James Holmes, a carpenter for the
theft of diamonds valued at $1,000
yesterday.
The diamonds which were AZ in
number were the property of E. w.
Johnson, a Nome operator, and
were encased in a jewel box and
stored away in a secret jewel closet
constructed for the purpose by
Holmes. AS soon as the theft was
committed Johnson placed several de-
tectives on the case, who after gather
ing the above evidence confronted
Holmes with it, and he made COM
plete confession to having stolen the
jewels.
