NEW YORK. Feb. 1s--The auto

Three men in the taSicab type OF car
trailed George III. Horth. diamond

Fifth avenue to Thirty nigh street. and
west on Thirty-flfth street to a point
two hundred feet from Sixth avenue.
There two of them jumped from the
cab. stunned the jeweler with blows
of blackjack. ripped wallet con-
tanning $4,000 worth of unset diamonds
from his coat Socket. and made their
escape.
Work in Crowded Street.
The robbery occurred shortly before
o'clock in the evening. when the
streets of the vicinity were thronged
with pedestrians and vehicles. and
with a policeman standing only two
hundred feet aaay.
1t Is believed that the diamond mer-
chant was trailed from his Office

favorable opportunity. There they car
