Diamond Strike Yields Large Riches
Two Elizabeth officials, Police Captain August Winkelmann and Fire Commissioner Francis De Stephan, testified before a Union County grand jury probing gambling laxity and then died by their own actions. Winkelmann, 65, was found alive near the Manasquan River inlet and died later at a Point Pleasant hospital. De Stephan, 39, drowned in Matawan Township marshes. Authorities listed both deaths as suicides, with no clear link to the grand jury appearance. The probe’s timing and connections remained uncertain. Meanwhile in South Africa, rich finds in Belighank near Kimberley attract professional diggers staking 25 yard plots and earning as much as 2000 dollars weekly. Many diamonds are unearthed, including 44½ carat gems, with prices averaging around 36 dollars a carat.
