A lot of smuggled diamonds and other Jew-elry has found Its way Into the hands of one of the most prominent government officials In Chicago, and he la endeavoring to dispose of It. There la nothing wrong about this, for the official referred tois John Tv.

Arnold, United States Marshal, and he has been or-dered by Judge Seaman of the Federal Court to sell the diamonds and jewelry at publie auction at 10 o'clock on March 34. Marshal Arnold has notified a number of the leading jewelers that they can call at his office. No. Sow Monadnock building, the day before the sale, and inspect the diamonds. In September, 1895, Raphael Cortina, the on of a wealthy Jeweler la Vera Crua, Mexico, came to Chicago, and engaged a fine suite of rooms at the Palmer House.

He evidently had plenty of money, and had a real nice time here for about two weeks. One day a retired special agent of the Treasury Department happened to drop Into the Palmer House and was attracted by the unusual number of diamonds sported by the young Mexican. His past experience with people who make a business of cheating Uncle Sam's custom-house men made him suspicious of the foreigner so flush with flashing gems. Although no longer connected with the government. Just to satisfy his curiosity, he shadowed young Cortina the next day when he left the hotel.

As the old agent expected. Cortina went to one of the largest Jewelry houses in the city, and. calling on the head of the firm, offered to sell him some diamonds at a price far below their value. Inventing a plausible story as to why he waa willing to part with them. The firm believed the story, as the young man was supplied with good letters of recommendation; but the old treasury agent saw at once that the diamonds offered for sale had been smuggled Into this country, and Cortina could reap a handsome profit at the price he offered to sell them for, the duty on diamonds being 35 per cent of their value.

Not effecting a sale at the first place, Cortina visited several other Jewelers, followed by the ex-treasury agent. The Utter had quietly sent a messenger to Charles 8. Crain. special agent for the Treasury Department In Chicago. Mr.

Crain heard Cortlna'a overtures to sell diamonds to several dealers, and then went before Wirt E. Humphrey. United States Commissioner, and secured warrants for the arrest of Cortina, and the seizure of the smuggled diamonds. When he returned to the Palmer House at noon, Sept. 18, Cortina was arrested, and over $5,000 worth of diamonds found In his satchel.

How many, if any. he had previously sold to Chicago Jewelers, has never been learned. Cortina was taken before Commissioner Humphrey and held In 12.500 ball, on a charge of smuggling. His bond was signed by George Samuels of No. 424 Msrshfleld avenue, William J.

Orth, grocer. No. 6202 Morgan street, and Fred E. Arnold of Lake avenue and Forty-Second street. Orth and Arnold each scheduled property worth over 5,000.

8am-uels did not schedule any property. The next day Cortina left Chicago, and has never returned; but he wrote to Marshal Arnold that he had paid George Samuels the full amount of the bond. Cortina was Indicted by the Federal grand Jury In October, 1896, but the ease was not called for trial until April 189. Cortina did not appear, and Judge Grosscup ordered the bond forfeited, and the smuggled property confiscated. It consisted of ten diamond rings, one diamond scarfpln, one diamond brooch, three unset diamonds, four pairs of diamonds earrings, and four gold pins without settings.

When Marshal Arnold attempted to levy an execution on the property scheduled by Cortlna'a bondsmen he found they had disposed of It after signing the bond. On March Judge. Seaman ordered that the property confiscated from Cortina be sold at publio auction by the United States Marshal, at 10 o'clock. March 24. The value of the property was appraised at 5,400.
