Great Diamond Steal.
M. Habib, a Paris diamond merchant, has had a stroke of luck. Two years and a half ago he was robbed by a trick in broad daylight of a necklace and seven long chains of diamonds, worth in all £36,000. From then till a few weeks ago the jewels had never been traced. But at the beginning of last month he was informed by a Viennese merchant that the missing diamonds had been offered him for sale, and that, suspecting a theft, lie had had them seized. M. Habib went to Vienna, recognised the jewels, and has got them back. The Viennese merchant gets £BOO reward from M Habib. © © ©
