THAT DIAMOND CASE.
A Suspect Arrested in Kansas City
Woman Tipped" 1t Off.

George Prewitt, colored, was arrested
Wednesday afternoon in Kansas City in
connection with the theft of diamonds
from the Santa Fee Watch company three
weeks ago.
A. s. Thomas. proprietor of the store.
three of his clerks and Sheriff L. L. Kiene
went to Kansas City. Kan, Wednesday
morning. Prewitt was arrested by the
police there. after detectives have been
watching him for two weeks. The clerks
identified him as one of the people in the
store the afternoon of the robbery.
F-nkerton detectives have looked up his
record and find that Prewitt has served
sentences in state prisons for similar rob-
beries
The authorities are confident that at
least part of the diamonds will be recov-
cred. as they say that there Is evidence
enough to convict the colored man. The
police first heard of Prewftt in Kansas
City several days ago. 1t Is said that
Psewitt showed woman a diamond. say
ing that he acquired 1t in Topeka. 1t is
alleged that the woman asked him for It,
but that he refused. TNs angered her. IL
is said, and she tipped on the police
about it. And now Prewitt is behind the
bars at the Kansas City, Kan, city jail.
This is the first arrest made in the case,
as the police and detectives have been
| working on unsatisfactory clues since the
first report of the robbery was made.
According to A. 8. Thomas, proprietor of
the store there will be enough evidence
submitted against the man to convict
him. He will be held at the Kansas City
Jail at present for further investigation.
