THE DIAMOND MAKER
FOUND AT LAST. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. PARIS, April 15. (Received April 16, at 8.15 a.m.) Lemoine was arrested in Wagrani street, in this city, where he had "been living in a hotel since Friday, disguised and under an assumed name". After his'flight he went to Sofia. Budapest. Vienna, and Trieste. He had been in London since November. [Lemoine professed to have a formula for making diamonds, and was "clever enough to fool a wealthy man named Julius Werner out of £64,000. He kept the police and magistrates of London and Paris busy, and for months declined to sanction' the opening of the envelope containing his formula. Finally he disappeared. His formula was read, and declared by experts to be a hoax, and a warrant was issued for his arrest on June 18. His wife subsequently brought charges of cruelty against him, and the Courts granted her a'divorce.]
