Meyer and J. W. O'Connell to recover $15,000, the price of the "Great Mihok"! ruby. Three years ngo Mihok was in formed that a "luck stone" which he had received from Ips father before leaving Bohemia, his native land, was In fact ft pigeon's blood ruby of per fect luster. The stone was examined by jewel »rs here and then sent for final proof to famous lapidaries of Chicago. Ovei their signatures these lapidaries at tested’’that it was, in fact, a pigeon's blood ruby. It is a deep, clear, carmine red and weighs more than the famous rubies Owned by the king of Bishenpur. In dia. Such a ruby, Bs any lapidary' knows, is worth several times as much •s a diamond of equal size. So it was named the “Great Mihok” ftnd the story of its discovery was heralded throughout the lapd,- John Mihok s father had picked ft ,Up on the banks of a stream and had kept it because it was a “pretty stone.” But selling ttie incomparable gem was another matter. It was pointed out that ' hprdiy any one possessed the price of such a ruby. Some -In dlan potentate might possibly put chase if it could he brought to ids attention. Or a moving picture actress in the $l,000,0O0-a-yekr salary class. But these people Were Inaccessible to Mr. Mihok. And on September 28. 1922, he testified, he agreed to aCcept $5,000 for the "Great Mihok," $2,000 to be cash and $3,000 a note .secured by mortgage on a farm in Monona county, Iowa. He said the defendant, O’Connor, claimed to own tills land, that he gave the mortgage to Be Bron and that BeBron endorsed it to Francisea Mihok. Mihok alleges that O'Connell didn't own the land and that the defendants conspired against him in the affair. Six attorneys are in the ense for the defense and three for Hihok. - 1 - —■ ■ - --- - — - - "N. RADIO | V-----/ lirnfrrnm for November 11. ! (Courtesy of Radio Digest) \ tty .Un(;v ittgil raeos.
