so there they were, see, all four of them
riding across the country with those diamonds.
Then they got to San Francisco, and the two
carriers took room in a hotel. All they had
to do now was find another fence and unload
on him and then disappear with the money.
Diamonds Change Hands Fast
That was fine, except that the ring agent
wasted no time getting himself confederate
and busting in on them in their room. He
and his friend stuck them up for the diamonds
and then for good measure they gave them
working over with the brass knuckles.
But while they're beating them up, who
walks in but our own man. He arrests the
bunch of them and gets the diamonds - as
neat job as you ever saw.
''Finally the diamonds were turned
over to the examiners - and every one of
them turned out to be nothing but paste.

Despite adversities smugglers keep right on
trying. One man posed as a naturalist and
attempted to import pearls in the dried bodies
of birds and insects. Another tourist claimed

Sooner or later, of course, almost
everyone involved in smuggling gets the
double cross. Sometimes it can be POLITICALLY
complete, as in the case ruefully related by
one New York Customs officer.
"A few years ago smuggling ring sent
big load of diamonds from Paris to New York
with couple of seamen carriers. They were
going to turn the stuff over to ring agent
here, but on the way over they decided to
dodge him and head out for the West Coast

the smugglers wiles And smugglers can't get
next to them because each officer goes to a
different post every day and never knows his
assignment till the last minute.
What's more important Customs officers
are tipped off through an involved intelligence
system linking them with jewelry dealers,
legitimate and ilegitimate, all over the world
jewelers. even have agents who travel
regularly on passenger ships. Talkative
smugglers who consider them good
friends later find them severe critics.
In the past Is years agents like these have
contributed to the recovery of more than
3OOOOO,OOO in smugged jewelry, fines and
duties.
A sizable chunk was garnered in one haul
This was in l94l. when agents advised Gus
toms officials to check on man arriving in
New York with the body of his deceased wife.
When inspectors opened the casket, they found
not only the body, but, sewed up in the
clothes 100000 worth of diamonds.
The man they caught, incidentally, proved
to be one of swarm of Nazi agents who were
trying to flood America with the jewelry loot
of Holland and Belgium in order to establish
credits for the purchase of war materials.
As the risks accumulate, smugglers unload
them on others whenever they can. Fearing
for their own hides, they engage Carriers. %
These are often ignorant or desperate sea-
men who move easily from ship to pier and
they have been known to carry fortunes for
fees of $50 or $lOO. Sometimes they are called
paper men," because they often identify
themselves by matching one piece of torn
paper with another piece held by their con-
tact man.
Rewards Lure Many Iniosmers
BUT inevitably, as smugglers widen their
circle of associates, they expose themselves to
the informers.
American informers are lured by govern
ment reward of Is per cent of the fines, duties
and sales of conhscated smuggled jewelry.
The informers are hardly discouraged by the
limit of $4,000 reward on any single gem.
To secure the services of European informers,
Congress in 1927 voted a sum of $5OO,OOO for
yearly payments The methods and identities
of informers are well-guarded secrets, and the
system has already paid for itself many times.

game 1t turned out that he always sailed from
New York aboard the same ship on which he
had previously arrived. He always got the
same cabin or one nearby. In any case, he
had key for it.
Whenever he sailed from New York his
brother - his only accomplice - came aboard
with hundreds of other visitors during the pre-
sailing hours. The smuggler then entered his
cabin, extracted his jewels either from the
plumbing or from small, covered hole he had
cut in the deck, and handed them over.
The brother, like all other visitors, walked
off the ship and pier unmolested. But one fine
day the Customs men were waiting for him.
