His Mania for Gambling Bald to b# theCause of His Trouble.Jacob Louis, charged with embezzling 1300 worth oi diamonds from Albert Shat tier, was bound ovex to the grand jury yesterday by ’Squire Hayne. Bail was fixed at 1500 and was given. The case, attracted considerable attention. Among the witnesses examined for the state were Detectives James White, Steve Meane Ralph Crawford, John Schnucks, and the female detective, Mrs. Annie Gilroy. From the evidence, it seems that Shnttler, whole well known as the old time newsboy of Fourth and Vinestreets, has amassed quite a fortune in his many years there. It seems that he has a mania * for speculatingin Jewelry, and that Louis has acted as his agent for several years. 8battler would get the jewels and Louis would sell them for him. The diamonds complained about were placed in the agent’s hands in the usual manner, but they disappeared and have not yet been found. Louis denies all knowledge of them. It was in evidence that he has. been gambling a great deal lately. He made a partial admission of the fact, but claimed that '‘hazard” was the only game he played. The initiated, however, know that hazard” is a very unsale thing for a man to risk his money on. If conducted fairly the chances are: always in favor of the house. But as too generally played the outsider stands no chance at all to win anything. A ‘‘sucker” is downed” every time. It is believed that Louis lost Shat-tier’s diamonds at either II or 22 Longworth street. But, although the detectives made a didgent search, they have as yet been unable to unearth the Jewels.
