OWNERS RECOVER
$4,000 IN GEMS
IT Unset Diamonds Loot OF
Thieves Offered for Sale at
Store Where Stolen.

BALTIMORE, March 2o.-Twenty-
seven unset diamonds. valued at slo'-
600. part OF the loot OF the DARING
daylight auto bandits who on March
7 smashed the plate glass window OF
the jewelry shop OF Arminger Co..
today are back in the safe OF the
jewelers..
IL was chance that led Samuel n.
Halpert, a Jewellery broker OF Rhila-
delphia, who had purchased the TWEEN
ty-seven stones, TO come 10 baltiinorv
10 visit his brother-in-lsw, Harry Mil
Ter, of the brokerage firm OF Lesser
& Miller, and IL was chance which LED
Miller. offhand, to suggest to Halpert
that he show the gems TO Arminger
a Co, who might want TO replenlsh
their stock after the robbery.
Recoxni.~s Diamonds.
As soon as the glistening stones
were shown to members or the jewel
ry firm, they were recognized. Taken
by surprise. Halpert admitted he had
paid a Philadelphia jeweler S0,04o
for the diamonds and he expressed no
little regret that this amount would
be a total loss TO him because the
gems had been stolen.
He declared, however, he came by
the gems honestly and had no KNOW.
edge or suspicion when he purchased
them that they were part OF the loot
taken from the shop OF Arminger q
Co.
ar L had known, do you think i
would have gone there with the
stones" declared Halpert.
With the recovery OF the gems two
arrests have been made and a drag
net had been thrown out for the ban
dts who are known, say the police
Two Arrests Made.
One OF those under arrest Is Ben
jamin Abrahams. OF SAMSON street,
Philadelphia, from whom Halpert OBJ
t.lned the gems. Abrahams told De
tectives Joseph Dougherty and Peter
b, Bradley, who were in Philadelphia.
that he had bought the diamonds from
Joseph o. Feinberg, 1882 Columbia
avenue, Philadelphia. Feinberg claims
not to know the Identity OF the man
from whom he purchased the dia-
monds.
Marshal Robert ID. Carter declared
today that the drasnet was closing in
on the bandits who robbed the Ball
more jewelry shop. and that 1t was
expected the balance of the Soo,ooo
worth of gems stolen VIII De reco'-
cred with pending arrests.
The circuitous manner in which
thieves get rid OF their loot is well
illustrated in the way the bandits I'M
loaded the diamonds stolen from Ar
minger & Co. At least $4,000 worth
of the unset stones had passed
through three merchants in the
course of two weeks.
That they should have been return
ed to the firm for their purchase is
considered a strange coincidence, and
the police are certain that Halpert
had no knowledge that he was try
ing to sell back to Arminger e. Co.
the gems which had been stolen from
their shop by thieves who pulled off
onelst. the boldest robberies in all OF
Baltfmore's history.
