what he read
The boy, Philip MorIand, whose pos
session Of a collection of meteoric dia-
monds Of great value has created so
much sensation, was brought up on re-
mand to-day at the CIerkenweI Police
Court and released. Mr.. Abingdon
thought fit to hear the case in camera,
so this ragged urchin is wandering
about London again with pocketful of
gems. He was last seen entering a cab
in the neighborhood Of the police court,
and Inquiry by our representative at the
Hatton Garden offices of Mr. Isaacstein,
the diamond merchant, whose name has
figured in connection with the case,
elected the information that Morland
called there about p. m. MIR. Isaac
stein positively refused to make any
further statement for publication, but
it is probable that the developments in
this peculiar and exciting affair will
take place at any moment"
In a word. the journalistic world was
2 exceedingly wroth with both Mr. Abing-
don and the Jew for baking it of a
very readable bit of news No effort
would be spared TO defeat their obvious
purpose. Philip must be discovered by
hook or crook, and badgered incessant-
ly until he divulged the secret of the
meteor.
At last the cabman became lucid
