Careless Talk Cost A Fortune Hatton Garden in Lond<yn las becomne syxionymious with dia- muonds. But in addition to the hlghly respectable and respected diam-ond mnerchants in Hatton Gardon, thereý areý some slightly IeS3 serupulous People wliose re- co,,rds are not quite as sparkling as thQ stonres theýy handhe -ai- thougli their faces are every. bit es liard. Theso peoople are the liangers- on of HTatton Gardon. Few of themn are dealers-they are lay- abouts - information hunters. And information-good, reliable Informatio-is vital to the un- doxworld. During the war they usod to say that careLess talk costs lives. Well, one piece of careless taik which floated ovor a caf e table one sunmmer day -in 1956 cost the insurance companies more than $300,û000. A small-time Tmobster was sit- tlng in that, cafe, near iHatton Garden, at the time. And his ears flapped when lie heard that a big Holborn diamond firmr sent a woman every Monday, unguard.- ed, to coleet diamonds from the Hiatton Gardon saf e deposit. The follow,,in-g 1Monday he kept watdi on the safe deposit build- ing. He saw thse womnan arrive li a chauffeur-driyen RoUas- PRoyce, carrys-ng a smail leather case. She entered thse building and *merged afe minutes later, still oarrying the case, gat into the car and was driveni off. Having verified the cafe con- versati*on, thtenobster made con- tact witis "The Boss." The Hattonw Garden safe de- posit ia a grey stone building housing the wavorld's groatest dia- miond strongroom. The stron- roomn is li the basoment, protect- *d by a ;ixc-foot iran door weigh- Ing ten tons. Saf e deposit boxes, -whioh nmay eontain at any,ý one time as much 45s $15,000,000 in diamond.s, lne the walls which are built of 150 tons of ret-nforcod concrete. And, of course, thero are guards. Every Moniday maorning for six ye ars Mrs. Alidlar Mullomn, secre- try to Mr. Moses Wijnberg, a Ëlolborn Viaduet diamond mer- chant, had called at the strQng- room ta collect tise wekend deposit. Since she was so well known, ehe waflot alwýays asked ta sign the collection book. Once the mrobstýr lied informn- cd "Tise Boss," the movemonts of Mrs. Mullem were carofutilly watchod forý the next fewý weeks, When thsepattera lied been es- tablished, "Thse Boss" docided ta act. rOn Monïda-y, July l6tli 1956, at 10.45 a.m., Mlrs. Mullem arrived as usuel a thtie safcs deposit. She coilected sevoeral hundred cut atones, worth -more than U,00,C00, from safe3 No. 401. Then sa went into on@ of ,thW f ive- counti-ng boxes ýta chieck the tones, Sheý put them lIn a briofcaseý and then took thse lift ta street level. She walkod out'te lier car in which chauffeur Fîrank Baker wvas waiting. The car drove off,~ following its Usuel route. Up Hatton Garden and then riglit bita St. Cross Street. Normrally the car wouid thea have turaed right into Fax- ringdoa Road, left inta Snow Hiil aad then right ito Halbarin Viaduct. But at the bottomn of St. Crossý Street, it got heid up by traffic -as it often did. As Mrs. Mul- lem sat holding the brlefcase li the back of the car, a -man wear- ing iiew overalîs and e peaked cap raced round thse front of the, car, epened a rear deor and greb- bed the case f rom h er banda, writes Jack Spot in "Tt-Bits". Ht_ thon ran off aiong Farring- don Road towards Clerkenwel Rond. The chauffeur left tise car and rusliod after hlmi-but just as was gaining 'on thetinan, ie' rtripped and fell. The snatcher reced into Clerk- enweli Road and junmped ixto a 1weiting black Zodiac car. Tise car lpulled away with a jerk, scraped the side of a pessiag trolley-bus, collided with anotiser parkced car, LateIt screeclied into a cul-de- sac. Bath men juxxped out, thse snatcher still carrying tht brie!- case, and disappeared into the> crowd. Once again a stolen car -aS us--d. And once egain "Tht-l Boss" lied luck-axid public apatly-an his side. Mr. V. R. Hall, who worked nearby, told tht police after- werdzs: "Tise chauffeur was gain- ing on tise man, and if lie ha4 had Day lieip f rom tise aVisr poople, arcuad he wouid have ceuglithl" A description of tht miissing diamonds was sent toalal air and seeporta.

Another man got tliree years for receiving stolen proporty and stealing a car. But tise aster- mmid couid't be touched, and tise diernds-so]d for $200,000 -lied venisised without a trace.
