FIRST BIG CRIME UNDER
WALDO'S RULE.
The police department Is on its metal
In the Jacoby case. because II Is the
first big crime committed since Rhine
lander Waldo became Police Commits
sioner n Edward Hughes was put In
charge Of the detective bureau. Inspec-
tor Hughes reports to Commissioner
Waldo that his men are working on o
tangible clue and hat he hopes for re-
suits to-day.
The Inspector IL convinced that the
murder and robbery were the work Of
amateurs. on the theory that an ex-
perienced criminal will not shoot down
a man In cold blood as long as he has
= chance to escape. Stern was shot
after the thief had fed with the dia-
monds. and when there vas every rea-
son to believe escape in the waiting
taxicab would be easy.
Several elements enter into the crime
which seem to indicate 1t was CAREFUL
ly planned and carried out. This - ex-
actly what happened:
About $40. when the trafic a!ong
Sixth avenue below Fourteenth street
had begun to thin out. a red cab Of the
taxi pattern. though probably not bear
ing a meter. drew up on the north curb
Of Thirteenth street twenty feet west
Of Sixth avenue and directly outside
Jacoby's store. The chauffeur stayed at
his post. keeping the motor going. but
two men Jumped out Of the cab. the
hood Of which was up.
One. carrying a short Jimmy or crow
bar. walked directly to the Sixth
avenue window of the store. pushed
h weapon agains, the plate glass,
knocking in a big roun hole, then
spread apart with his hands two OF the
thin iron bars at the window and reach
ing In grabbed a small tray in which
were securely set a lumber of diamond
rings. He dashed back to the car and
jumped In. holding on to the diamonds.
The other man meanwhile had taken
up a position near. but back Of the
actual thief. a loaded revolver in his
right hand. At the sound OF the crash
Adolph Stern. who had been a clerk
with Jacoby for twenty years. a run
out OF the store. As his feet crossed
the Threshold the man with the gun
fired at him. The bullet entered Stern's
right breast and caused death In a few
minutes.
