Judge McMahon Orders Grand Jury Probe of Fake Diamonds
New York Aug 22 Judge McMahon in general sessions instructed Acting District Attorney Nott to urge the grand jury to investigate pawnbrokers who substitute fake diamonds for real stones. The case follows the arrest of Arthur Yost for stealing diamond earrings worth 100 from Rose Goldfish. Yost pleaded guilty and was sent to Elmira. Goldfish discovered the diamonds lacked luster and learned they were glass. Rosenberg, the pawn broker, claimed he was fooled. Judge McMahon said pawn brokers may be selling glass and paste as diamonds and ordered a thorough inquiry by the grand jury. The rumor of widespread fakery unsettled local betting men and others connected to late-night jewelry shops.
