Action has been drought by A. M. Jacob, late of Simia, 20w living in Bombay, against the aresent Nizam of Hyderabad. Jacob 18 widely known in America «s the hero of Marion Crawford’s vovel, “Mr. Isaacs,” as the original of Lurgsh Sahib, maker of rich pearls in Kipling’s “Kim.” He also is sald to bave taught the late Mme, Blavatsky, one of the founders of the American Theosophical society, more about oc- ' cultism than she had ever dreamed of. The suit 18 & sequel to an amazing wransaction, almost twenty-five years ugo by the late Nizam of Hyderabad and Jacob over the imperial diamond 20w In possession of the new Nizam. “is diamond, one of the finest in 4ye world and worth a fortune, was bought for the late nizam by Jacob when the latter was at his power in 3imla.

Lord Hardinge, viceroy, has now agreed to the action and when the case comes on some names that are house- hold werds, including two viceroys of Indla, one of them Lerd Curszon, the private, as opposed' to the public life of viceroys will be given. Financed by a friend and confident of a triumph- ant verdict, Jacob undertakes the task: with all his heart in it For years he has been living In Bombay with little money, due to the disastrous diamond transaction; whereas he was one of the richest men in India. Former adviser of no less than four viceroys and confldante of every fashionable and beautiful woman—in fact, uncrowned@ king ot Simla—he taught Kipling much of what he knew of India. He made name and early fame for Marion Craw- ford, who sat at his feet in Delhi, Simla. When at the height of his fame and power when all Simla was flocking to his wonderful seances and his house, stocked with preclous etones and or naments, was the most fashionable in Simla, the story of the fateful imperial diamond began. The story is a lomg one and per haps the most amazing that could de told outside of fiction. It shows io- trigue at its height and the action of Lord Lansdowne, who at the time was viceroy, in the sale of the diamond was remarkable. Put very briefly, the case which is to be recalled in a sensational fashion 18 this: Jacob was approached by the late Nizam of Hyderabad to purchase for him the famous imperial dlamond, then on sale in London. Jacob obtained the stone and offered it to the nizam for $1,250,000. The nizam accepted That permission has always been re- fus3d, but at the Durbar, through tho help of Maj. Gen. Stuart Beatson, alde do .vmp of King George, Jacob's long ln( ;rle}_nce was nut before the and paid Jacob $260,000 on account. He took the stone and never paid an- other rupee.
