CHICAGO. Dec. 21. Efforts of

owner for $190,000 worth of dia

tonight proved futile. Thedia

the police last .flight when John

fine cut stones to a prospective
buyer whp became suspicious and
called the police.
Worthington refuses to inform
the police where he got the dia
monds. Police believe Worthing
ton is acting as a "fence" for a
"ring" of Canadian, jewel thieves.
A nation wide search was made
for Worthington two years ago
and, ended with his arrest in Van
