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.
