PAQUETTE & HUGHES

269, Victoria Street, Toronto


CANADIAN JEWELERS ROBBED

Thugs Beat Partner of Manufacturing Concern and Then Loot Safe of Merchandise Worth $13,775

Toronto, Can., Nov. 30.—The jewelry manufacturing establishment of Paquette & Hughes, 269 Victoria St., was entered by robbers last Tuesday and robbed of diamonds and jewelry valued at $13,775. The premises of the firm are on the third floor of the building, reached by a stairway communicating directly with the street.

During the noon hour Getas Paquette, one of the partners, was alone in the factory, the employes having gone out for lunch. Two men entered the office adjoining the workroom and one of them, presenting a revolver, said:

“Do what we tell you, or we'll blow your head off.”

They ordered him to open the door leading into the factory and told him to lie down on the floor with his face to the wall. Then one of the men hit him a blow on the head while the other ransacked the safe. He was again struck a heavy blow as the men were leaving, rendering him unconscious.
On his recovery he attempted to use the telephone but found that the robbers had cut the wires. He went to an office on the floor below and called the police, but before they could arrive the bandits had escaped with their plunder.

The stolen goods included 95 diamond rings, valued at $6,778; 350 emblem and colored stone rings, $3,133; 110 loose ring mounts, $1,448, and loose diamonds to the value of $1,000.

Mr. Paquette, who is suffering considerably from his injuries, stated that the bandits made no attempt to disguise themselves and he was able to give a good description of them to the police. This is the second time this store has been robbed, having been entered during the Winter of 1920 by burglars who stole goods valued at $32,000. Paquette & Hughes are insured against burglary, but there are doubts as to whether the policy covers a hold-up of this character.

Thief Steals Rings from Toronto Jewelry Store

TORONTO, ONT. , Feb. 28.—The jewelry store of Robert C. Inkster, 239 James St. N., was robbed of rings valued at $1,500 last Friday by a man who made a pretense of purchasing and was given a tray containing about 40 or 50 rings from which to make his selection. While the attention of the clerk was directed to other customers, the thief carried off the tray and disappeared.

The thief is believed to be the same man who recently committed a similar robbery in Toronto.
