of Program.
That Ray Diamond, the youthful
(Jesperad«j who last week held up
Cashier Smith o f the Glendale State
Rank, and secured something over
$2800 in money, has a dual personality,
is the general belief o f local officers
and detectives, who for the past week
have been making efforts to capture
him.
Until last week Diamond, who had
lived in Glendale five years, bad con
ducted himself in a manner which won
for him the esteem o f his acquain
tances.
He
was
industrious and
worked steadily until about two months
ago. when he lost his position follow
ing a minor altercation with a fellow
employe.
A survey o f his past life reveals that
Diamond waa welcomed in the best so
cial circles in this district. Only a
few weeks age he played the leading
part in a home talent play, for which
he received high commendation. He
waa an Oddfellow, while the cashier
he held up was the noble grand o f his
lodge.
Young Diamond seldom, i f ever, en
tered a saloon, and prior to committing
the daring robbery, it is said no one at
Glendale ever saw him take a drink
o f liquor. In his every-day life he was
quiet and unassuming and talked little.
He loved literature and was fam iliar
with the works of the most noted
authors. ' He was w ell versed on cur
rent events, and was a conversation
alist o f more than ordinary intelli
gence.
In all. Diamond's outward life sug
gested nothing that would indicate
that he was desperate and would ran
sack a bank. On the contrary his fea
tures would indicate refinement, while
his manner was such as to win him
friends on every hand.
There was another side to Diamond’ s
life, however, which was only known
to himself. While a reader o f heavy
literature, Diamond also read much o f
notorious characters, including John
Turnow, the Washington desperado,
and Harry Tracy, the Oregon outlaw.
It is believed he learned to admire
these men, and fascinated by the pos
sibility o f himself gaining notoriety
for daring he decided to enter the
world o f crime.
In the sleeping room o f hia lonely
cabin on the outskirta o f Glendale were
found hundreds o f papers and books,
the pages of which were filled with
thrilling scenes enacted by desperate
outlaws.
