The Persians RACED the town in the

q population of 10000 and to have

In 1864 the town was captured by
Alp Arslan. the Sultan OF the Seljuk

stories convey the diamond to Marie

privilege to her friend Princess de
Lambelle. Genuine history records
whether the evil infiu nee of the dia-
mond had a part in the tragedy is not
so clear-that Marie Antoinette died
on the guillotine. and tradition trudges
along to the record that the Princess
was torn to pieces by Il French mob
and her head carried about upon u
pike for the curious to gaze upon.
In this period the stone was lost
sight of for a time, the stories of its
course of disaster say about 1872.
Then, after a Span Of thirtytwo years.
the blue stone bobbed up again inlS30,
still without having had the name
Hope attached TO II. In the mean
time, though, the story writer's again
reduced its size to 443s carats. Wher-
ever the gem was in those years OF
mystery, stories are numerous to-day
that 1t still was performing its mis-
sion OF bllghting lives and fortunes.
One of these accounts attributes 70
Daniel Eliason, a jeweller Of London
who got the stone in 1880, story that
after 1t was supposedly stolen from
the royal treasures of France by a
Paris mob the gem was sold to an
