Week blackjacked their victiine in the
open streets and made away with
booty aggregating thousands of dollars
without leaving a single clue. A per.
ies of robberies. hold-ups and murders
within the last month has caused gen-
eral consternation in the police depart-
ment. Police Commissioner Waldo has
summoned all the oldftlme sleuths who
some time ago were transferred to
patrol duty back to detective work.
Tile police are absolutely without clues
in the holdup last night of George
North, 3 diamond dealer, who was
blackjacked and robbed of a package
of unset diamonds. valued at about
$10,000, on West 35th street while
scores of people were passing along
the thoroughfare. The robbers made
their escape in an automobile. Oddly
enough the detectives were unable to
find a ngle witness of the robbery.
