Deputy Coroner Leans to
Foul Play Theory in
Canal Death.

Detectives today sought evidence
to determine whether Walter Du-
derstadt, "a, of 3139 Boulevard
place, a World war veteran, whose
body was found in the canal near
Tventy-fifth street Monday, killed
himself or was murdered.
Members of his family denied re-
ports that Duderstadt, missing since
Feb. 2. ever had threatened suicide.
The dead man, some time before his
disappearance, in discussion OF a
newspaper suicide story, had de-
clared. "Td never do a thing like
that, although L am worried because
I don't have work" his brother
Frank, %, said.
The brother, Frank, identified the
body late Monday at the Royster
& Askin funeral parlors, 1902
North Meridian street, where
funeral parlors, 1902 North Me
ridian street, where funeral services
will be held at this afternoon.
Murder Is Suspected
According to Deputy Coroner
o. H. Bakemeier, Duderstadt was
dead when his body entered the
canal.
"I am not going to say the man
was murdered, but death was not
due to drowning" Bakemeier said.
He will report to Coroner KeeVer
that violence of some nature caused
a confusion over the right eye and
marks on the throat which he stated
shows "the man had been choked." "
Appearances point to murder, Bake
meier indicated.
Duderstadt had so cents and car
morning of his disappearance to
visit DR.. o. L. Stephenson in the
Marion building, 10 West Ohio
street, members of his family said.
DR.. Stephenson declared ne did
not come to the office that day and
stated that the illness for which he
was treating Dudersadt was moth
ing to be alarmed over."
Money Still IN Pocket
,Duderstadt had so cents and car
fare in his pocketbook when he left
home, his brother said. That
amount of money and three car
tokens were found on the body, in
dicating he was not robbed.
Duderstadt served nineteen
months in the American army dur
ing the war, but did not go over
seas. He was a city park board
employe, working on municipal golf
links until last fall, and had been
unable to find work since. Besides
the brother, Frank, his mother and
another brother, Emil, 35, survive
him.

Remarkable Story of the Gem, Which Has Been Traced
Back to 13O4-H0qO 1t Game Into British Possession

with traditional Oriental calm, maintained the
utmost self-control, refusing to betray even by
the flicker Of an eyelash his inward agitation.
Indeed, his assumption of indifference was so
apparently genuine that 1t almost deceived
Nadir himself, who began to fear that he had
been misinformed.
Hastily Diminishing the durbar, he withdrew
TO his own tent, where on unfolding the volumi-
nous drapings OF the royal headdress he dis
covered the long desired jewel. Overcome with
rapture, he gazed upon 1t, exclaiming fervently,
"Koh-i-nur!" which when translated means
mountains of light"
At Nadir's death the diamond was bequeath-
ed with other costly gems to his feeble son,
Shah Rokh, who was eventually overthroWn,
but given the governorship OF the city Of
Meshd, in Persia where he brought the stone
along with the treasure which his father had
looted from India. The diamond, being nat
urally an object of envy on the part of his
conquerorS, he was tortured by them for its
possession, but although his t0rmenterS finally
blinded him, he refused to surrender the stone.
At last. one Aga Mohamed. being exceed
ingly coVetouS Of the treasures Shah Rokh was
known to possess, determined to take them,
and with characteristic Oriental deception,
evolved q clever plot. Advancing with a large
force toward Meshd under pretext of visiting
q nearby shrine, he quietly occupied the city.
Deliberately he performed his devotions, then
suddenly throwing off all disguise, he demand
ed that Shah Rokh give him the gem. This
the unfortunate Shah declined to do so his adj
versary ordered that his victim be put to fresh
tortures
After painful and incredibly cruel suffering
Rokh delivered up several valuable stones, but
the Koh-i-nur was not among them, nor was
disclosed the whereabouts of an. immense ruby
which was also the object Of Aga Mohamed's
cupidity. Then the torturer ordered that
Shah Rokh's head should be shaved and
encircled with diadem of paste. Into the de-
preston formed by this contemptuous ornament
boiling oil was poured, but in spite of his I'M
utterable agony Rokh refused to part with the
diamond. He gave up the ruby, however, and
he never recovered from the terrible injuries
In ISL Shah ROkh concluded an alliance
With Ahmed Shah, founder of the Durani
Afghan Empire, and gave him the gem, b q its
influence on the Durani dynasty was disastrous.

Famous Diamond, Worn by Queen Mary Recent Court

parted with the stone, so was once more de-
prived Of nOurishment. At last Shuja himself,
realizing that he was faced with an unyielding
foe, surrendered the diamond for the sum Of
125 900 rupees, and 1t was delivered to Runjit
on June ], 1913.
Thereupon the new owner had it set in a
bracelet, which he wore on all public occasions.
At his death, being convinced Of its evil tnfiu-
ence, he sought to propitiate the gods In his
own behalf by bequeathing it to the famous
shrine of Jaganath, Or Juggernaut. Before he
was able to sign the warrant for It's removal
from the royal treasury. however, he died. so
the crown jeweler refused to surrender 1T.
Therefore it remained in the jewel chamber at
Lahore until the mutiny of the two Sikh resi-
mentS finally brought about the annexation of
the Punjab by Great Britain in 1849 The
treasury being, according to agreement con-
hScated by the East India Co. in part pay
ment of the debt of the Lahore government, it
was stipulated that the diamond which had
been associated with so many vicissitudes be
given to Queen Victoria, so 1t was sent to Erg-
land in the custody Of two English officers.
On June 3, 1850, the official presentation was
shown TO the public at the Hyde Park Exhibi-
ton. Being badly cut by the Indian cutter, it
is said to have looked little better than ordi-
nary crystal but at the suggestion Of Prince
Albert, who took an intense interest in 1t, the
diamond was eventually recut by an Anster-
dam Girm, the actual operation taking place in
the ateIier of the crown jewels In London,
where the cutting consumed 80 days. OF IL
hours each, and cost sum of 5000 pounds.
The Koh-i-noor, as it is spelled In the Eng
lsh form, is kept in Windsor Castle, but
model is on public view in the Tower Of Lon
don. The stone, although Of enormous interest
on account Of its remarkable history, Is not Of
the finest water, being of grayish tint Before
being recut 1t was valued at 100000 pounds
sterling.

In the course Of time 1t descended to Ahmed,s
grandson Shah Zaman who subsequently was
depoSed and blinded by his brother, Shah
Shuja-ul-mulk in accordance with the amiable
customs Of the time. zaman was thrown into
prison, but he took the diamond with him and
hid 1t In the strong wall Of his enforced habi-
tation, where it was supposedly firmly embedded
in the plaster. But, luck would have it, the
wall crumbled, exposing q sharp angle Of the
jewel. An official, CHANGING to lean upon the
wall, scratched his hand, and so the stone, re-
vealed by accident was delivered to Shuja who
hencefOrth wore 1t at all public ceremonials.
PUT IN time Nemesis overlook the cruel
Shuja. for he likewise was overthrow, de-
prived of sight and exiled. Accompanied by
the brother he had so unnaturalIy treated and
carrying his treasure with him, he withdrew to
the court Of Runjit Singh, who was called 1.-THE
Lion OF the Punjab." At first the two blind ex-
lies were welcomed with open arms by Runjt,
but soon afterward the Lion began TO Cypress
them and TO extort from them the rich and
costly gems they had brought from Kabul
Runjit spared no efforts to gain possession of
the famous Koh-i-nur, which he well knew was
the most desirable of Shuja's jewels
Believing that it was among the personal
ornaments Of Shuja's eonsort who was living
In seclusion nearby. he sent an order from
Lahore commanding her to give 1t up. She re-
fused, saying it was not in her possession.
Thereupon Runjit had her effects seized and
brought to Lahore, where they were carefully
searched for the diamond, which, however was
not found among them. Then he had the
lady watched imprisoned two of her attend
ants and deprived others of her household of
food, not even allowing them to have bread and
water. No one was allowed to approach or
leave her without being searched, and the
harShest methods were used toward her family
TO induce them TO yield the secret.
Finally the Begun herself was deprived of
food for two days. and, seeing that Runjit was
