DIAMOND EARRING IDENTIFIED
Mrs. Stentel Has the Mate of the Three-Carat Gem.
Edward Stentel, of 13 Monroe place, Brooklyn, called at Police Headquarters this morning and claimed the three-carat diamond earring which has been in the custody of the Lost-Property Clerk since May 22.
Mr. Stentel was accompanied by his wife, who identified the earring as her property, and she corroborated her statement by showing the mate to it, which was an exact counterpart of the lost gem. The diamond was not turned over to the claimant, although identification and establishment of ownership seemed to be complete.
The earring was lost May 22 somewhere in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Stentel had been in the habit of carrying the earrings in a chamois bag instead of wearing them.
On the day on which she lost the earring a policeman from the Mulberry street station arrested John Curran, of 31 Dean street, Brooklyn, and August Mulcahy, of 429 Henry street, Brooklyn, as suspicious characters.
They were seen visiting several Bowery pawnshops by the officer, and were taken to the station-house.
The earring in question was found in Curran's possession.
He said he found the jewel, and as there was nothing to disprove the statement, he was discharged in the Tombs Police Court, after being held three days.
