Fatima's Diamond Sells for Five Thousand Five Hundred
The Dara-yai-Noor diamond once worn by Fatima's Afghan royal family sold at a sheriff's auction in New York for 5500 to John R. Keim. Liens and debts reduced the princess's cash to about 1116 after auctioneer fees, hotel bills, and loans. She planned proceeds for her three sons' college fund and a Hudson villa but will get little after obligations.
