VALUABLE DIAMOND
Hurled Brick Through Window in
Downtown Section of
Dallas.

DALLAS. Tex, Jan. 2.-Hurling a
brick wrapped in paper through a
plate glass show window of the Linz
Bros. Jewelry store in the downton
section here late today, a boy of II,
snatched a tray OF valuable diamonds
and ran. James Williams, a youth,
was taken into custody after a
chase of several blocks. in which
scores of passersby joined. An unset
solitaire diamond, valued at 10000,
among the jewels believed taken,
is missing; a diamond lavaliere, val
ued at $500, was picked up half a
block away and returned to the store; I;
several other valuable diamonds are
believed to be missing.
The boy told the police tonight his
name was James Williams, that he
was from Chicago, and had been here
for three weeks. until unable to obtain
work. A search of his person failed
to disclose any of the jewelry. Po-
lice believe Williams swallowed the
valuable diamond.
Members of the jewelry firm said to-
night the unset diamond and the Law
aliere were the most valuable pieces
of jewelry taken, but that until com
plete check had been made they could
not tell what else was gone. They
believe several lesser diamonds were
taken.

fore o'clock when the streets were
thronged with matinee crowds and
the usual Saturday afternoon crowd.
