HAYDEN ELECTRIC Tit Oar Fine Appliance Repair Dept. CLOSED SATURDAYS jPillamette (Across from P.O.) Ph. 5174 Famed Replicas Reported Stolen PHILADELPHIA M) Rep. llcas of many of the world's larg est and most famous diamonds were stolen over the weekend from the Academy of Natural Sciences, police reported Monday. Police said they believed the theft was part of a plot to sell the imitations in private channels for large sums of money. They acted in the case just as if true diamonds of high value were stolen, teletyping messages all along the eastern seaboard. The messages contained names familiar to diamond fanciers everywhere. There were1 accurate descriptions of such famous gems as the Hope Diamond, the Regent, Empress Eugenia, Nassak, Star of the South, Cullinan, Shah, Orlov, Koh-I-Nur, Piggott and 26 others. Police acknowledged that they knew of no better way to describe the imitations than to call them by names of the real diamonds. To get the collection, the thief employed professional methods. He secreted himself somewhere in the academy after closing hours on Saturday, police theorized, and then used a glass cutter to open the case containing the collection. Making certain to leave no fing erprints, the thief removed the gem representations from velvet covered shelves. Mountings were taken along with the imitations. Academy officials called the imitations "facsimulations of dia monds" but declined to place a specific value on them. Police Seek Thief City police Tuesday were seek ing a man whom Albert Fordham, Muscatine, la., said he had taken as a roommate in a local hotel Sunday night. Fordham said the man had been unable to find other lodgings, so he allowed him to share his room for the evening. He left for work Monday, Fordham said, before his guest arose, and when he returned Monday eve ning found the man had departed with his best blue serge siut, two suitcases and an alarm clock.
