A Story of Dlnnionds.
The Prescotl "Courier" gives the
following history of tho diamonds re
cently stolen in that city:
Tho diamonds which are tho oiigin
of tho present Preseott diamond oxeito
ment ry.tliu remnant of a $12,000 lot
of these precious gems which are
blended with tho history of tho woman
owuer said to havo been robbed while
she was drunk. She kept a house of
ill-reputu in Tucson in 1880, cleared
over $12,000 in one 3 ear and was'iiuik
ing money fast. She took a trip to
S.m Francisco and purchased tho $12,
000 diamond cluster, which became as
famous as "The Moonstone," and like
that accursed gem. seemed to carry ill
fortune with them, for from thedateof
their purchase bad luck followed the
purchaser, and through all her ops ami
downs of fortune her diamond cluster
grew smaller. She married and went
to Albtiquclquc, where more diamonds
fell fiom the cluster, until less than
$2,000 woith wcio left.
With these she came to Preseott.
Utlt this seeming Clliseof the moon
stone still lemained with the remnant
of (he fated cluster, and 0110 day, so
tho story goes, miller the baletul glare
of the bedeviled g-Miis sho lost control
of herself and became intoxicated, with
tlie diamonds 011 her person.
Passeis by were at 1 1 acted by the
glitter of the gems, and under their
fell influence were drawn to ilium and
I
the gems gravitated into their pockets. .
Thus the remnant of gems pui'diaicd '
with the wages nf sin were tiuo.sfi-rri d 1
to the pockets of a cotelie of couspirat-
ors who hal fa'lpn liefi-n tin' gleaming!
lemplaiioii slim loilli from said gems,
and tho once proud possessor of a $12,
OUO diamond cluster rcMirncd lo con
sciousness to find herself p'unuilcsstipoii
tho streets.
Uut I lie cursed gems still had a mis
sion to perform, and to-day three men
who fell under tho spell are locked up
in tho county jail, two women "arc in
custody, gun plas made, highway
robberies aro charged, and Preseott
wears its diamonds on the insido of ils
vest. "Tho wages of sin aro death,"
and when invested in diamond clusters
seem to bo double-distilled death.
