DIAMOND PRINCE
LODGED IN JAIL
george A. Westlake Draws 30-Day
sentence on His Second Arrest in
Single Day.

George A. Westlake, dubbed 1.-The
prince of diamond merchants" was
taken before Magistrate J. c. Smith
again this morning on a charge of
disorderly conduct and assessed a fine
OF $3.50 Failing to pay he was sent
TO the county Jail for 80 days
Paying little heed to warning of the
court Yesterday about keeping away
from the home of Mrs. Ida Marks.
lZ26 Fourth avenue, after being fined
$40 for making himself a nuisance.
Westlake was again on the scene and
active at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
MRS. Marks was not home at the time
and 1t seems George made himself at
home, turning the house virtually up
side down and raising a rough house
generally.
The police received a calk to that
number and Suspecting it was George
they called up on the phone and by a
ruse kept him there. He answered the
call and abused the police TO full eX-
tent OF his vocabulary in profanity.
The patrol was sent after George
and in a few minutes he was brought
into the station, still ugly and swear
ing. He was lodged in cell, where he
was given a chance to cool off before
his hearing this morning.
Westlake. who travels about selling
cheap Jewelry, has caused the local
police considerable trouble before and
judging from clippings he had on his
person when the police searched him
his conduct has not been much better
IN other towns he has visited.
