RULE DIAMOND
is SUBJECT TO
$4,000 DUTY
u. S. Court Hands Down
Decision on Great
NaSSak Gem.

BIZ United Prfes
WASHINGTON. June f. - The
United States court of customs ap-
peals ruled today that the great
Nassak diamond, which began its
interesting history in the eye Of an
Indian idol many centuries ago, is
a precious stone and not an
artistic antiquity" and therefore,
subject to a duty Of approximately
$4,000 or 20 per cent Of its value.
The court reversed the opinion Of
the United States customs court at
New York, which ruled the diamond
could be admitted duty free.
The lower courts decision was
challenged by jewelers. who feared
the huge diamond, which weighs
seventy-flve and five-eighths car
rats, could be cut into smaller
stones and sold in competition with
other stones.
The Nassak diamonds modern
history begins with the British con-
quest OF India by Warren Hastings.
When first taken from an Indian
potentate by British troops in 1918,
the stone weighed eighty-nine car
ats, but since has been cut down.
Since the stones importation here
in 1927, it has been on display in a
New York jewelry shop, but no one
yet has come forward to pay the
high price demanded.
Centuries ago the diamond
adorned the head of a magnificent
Indian idol Of the god SILVA in
temple on the banks Of the Cod
avery river.
Through the hands of many po-
tentates it passed until it came to
the marquis Of Westminster, with
whom it remained until 1926, when
Mauboussin bought it for sale to
some American millionaire.

and missed. The ball eluded the
catcher, and the runner reached
first. While Stillson was striking
out the next man up, the runner
stole second, and took a long lead
toward third. Stillson tried to put
him out on second, but the throw
was wild and the runner scored.
