Diamond Claims No Evi-
dence of Alleged Swindle
SAYS 1T WAS LEGAL
Any Action Taken Against Him Must
Be Civil In Its Nature, Attorney
States, And Offers To Pro-
duce Evidence To This
Effect

Columbus, Nov. 20-Attorney John
Ward, counsel for ]. Harry Diamond,
alleged clairvoyant wanted in Detroit
for grand larceny for embezzlement
of $1,000 from a matron of that city,
said Saturday that extradition papers
for his transfer from Columbus to
that city would be fought on the
grounds that they, the defense, have
sufficient evidence to show that Dia-
mond's alleged theft of the money
was not theft and if any action is
to be taken against him, it must be
of purely civil nature.
Detective Harry j. Garvin of the
Detroit department arrived in Colum-
bus intending to take Diamond back
to Michigan with him, but the pris-
oner refused to go until extradition
papers were secured for transfer
from Ohio to that city. 1t is probable
that if he does go to Detroit he can
not be removed from Columbus until
Monday.
According to the information fur
nished the Columbus department, Dia-
mond had q thorough knowledge of
occult sciences and, after winning the
confidence of the woman in question,
prevailed upon her to entrust to him
$1,000 to invest for her. This she is
alleged to have done and then Dia-
mond left with the money.
The attorney for the defense, how
ever, maintains that they will be able
to show that his misdemeanor, If there
was any, was purely Of civil nature
and that Diamond holds papers to
show that it was merely CONNER
cial transaction with only civil rem
edy for an infraction of the conf
dence concerned therein.

FIRE CAUSED
BY BURGLARS
Interior Of Perrine Home Is
Burned
MONEY FOUND MISSING
Flames Discovered BY Neighbors Sat.
urday Night At 1880 O'clock
Structure, Partially Insured,
Owned BY Park D.
WorIey
MONEY FOUND MISSING

Burglars or burglar who entered
the home of Leo Perrine, Oak street,
some time Saturday evening, prob
ably caused the fire which burst out
between IL and 1880 o'clock at night
and rendered practically all of the
contents of the structure unfit for
future USE
Mr.. and Mrs. Perrine and their
baby had left the city for the day
Saturday morning and Mr.. Perrine as
serts that everything was left in a
perfectly safe condition as far as a
possible fire was concerned.
Nothing unusual happened during
the remainder of the day until about
IL o'clock in the evening when neigh
bors noticed a bright red flame inside
of the house. After hasty examina-
tion the fire department was called
out and extinguished the fire by play
ing the fire hose on the house and
gaining an entrance by breaking
down one of the doors.
Although strenuous efforts we're ex-
erted by the firemen to save some of
the furnishings. nothing could be ac-
complished.
The fire being extinguished, an ex-
animation of the house was made by
several of the firemen to try to dis
cover the cause of the blaze. Nothing
came to light at first, but upon Mr..
and Mrs. Perrine's return, Mrs. Per-
rine Immediately went to the side
board which had not been entirely
consumed by the flames. She pulled
open drawer and discovered that
Sc which she had placed there pre-
vious to their departure in the morn.
ing for safe keeping was gone and.
after searching for the babys bank,
it was found that this article was also
missing. Upon looking around the
dining room, Mrs. Perrine saw the re
mains of what had been some clothes
that were kept in a closet on the first
floor scattered all around. This
amazing discovery at once suggested
a possible robbery to all of the people
present.
1t was thought that some person
who was advised of their departure
had entered the home with the mo-
tive of robbery and dropped lighted
match.
The house was the property of Park
d. Worley of West Chestnut street,
and is partially covered by insurance.
AS yet the amount of the loss has not
been computed as the brick walls
may have been damaged to a serious
degree by the heat that ra6iated from
the blaze which burned the entire
furnishings and demolished the parti-
tions between the rooms. The house
was insured to the amount of $500.
