FAMOUS HOPE
DIAMOND. is SOLD

The famous Hope diamond, latter
company of New York, has been sold
here, II is reported, for 100000. IL
lis believed to have been bought for
the Sultan of Turkey.
Sale Is Confirmed.
Joseph Franke Sons OF SIC Fifth
|avenue, who owned tire famous Hope
diamond, confirmed the report of its
|sale in Paris. They bought the gem
seven years ago and it had long been
la white elephant on their hands.
Charles Schwab, ]. ]. Hill, former
Senator William A. Clark, ]. p. Nor
gan and several other wealthy Amer
leans consulted with Mr.. Frankels
over the purchase of the diamond
from time to time, but they could not
agree on price and so much capital
was tied up IN the stone that four
diamond houses were forced to the
wall during the late financial panic.
Simon Frankel brought the Hope
diamond to this country in the fall
of 1901. He bought the gem from
Lord Francis Hope through Adolph
We'll of London. The purchase
price, IL was stated at the time, was
$3.50. 900. The Frankels offered II
for sale to various American million
aires for $25O,OO0.
Diamond il Inherited.
Lord Francis Hope inherited the
diamond from his mother, to whom II
had ben left by her father, Henry T.
Hope, a well-known banker of Am
sterdam. Lord Francis Hope at the
time he offered the diamond for sale
was said to be on the verge of bank
ruptcy. The Frankels heard of his
plight, and Simon Frankei went TO
London to negotiate the purchase of
the world-famous gem.
The Hope diamond weighs 44H
karats. 1t is of a brilliant sapphire
blue. cut cushion shaped" and is
about one inch square. Its color Is
unrivaled among the jewels of the
world, and for three-quarters of a CEN
fury various European monarchs
have coveted 1t.
The Hope family would not hear of
its sale. until Lord Francis Hope got
into money difficulties, following his
marriage to May Yohe and subse-
quent divorce. The Duke of New
castle, brother OF Lord Francis Hope,
prevented the sale of the diamond
during the period of his kinsmans in
fatuatien tfor the actress. Later he
was. poweriess to keep the diamond in
the family

stolen From Indian Rajah

The splendid stone was stolen from
the crown of an Indian rajah early
in the seventeenth century. In 1912
il was taken to France by the famous
Traveller; Tanevrier. 1t then weighed
I112A karats. Louis w. purchased
IL and Louis XIV wore 1t In collar
of the order of the Golden Fleece.
1t was stolen during the strenuous
days of the French revolution and
cut into four stones, the larger one of
which is the Hope diamond. The
Prize diamond and the Brunswick dia
mond, the latter owned by the Duke
of Brunswick, were the smaller gems
cut from the original stone.
