THE GREAT DIAMOND-MAKING CASE

An image taken at the Paris workshops of Henri Lemoine following the defrauding of Sir Julius Wernher, British banker and one of the governors of De Beers Diamond Mines.



On Friday last it was reported that Sir Julius Wernher had lodged a complaint against M. Lemoine, a French engineer, alleging that the latter defrauded him of £64,000 by falsely representing himself as having succeeded in manufacturing large artificial diamonds of great value. Sir Julius witnessed certain experiments in M. Lemoine's laboratory and saw a flawless stone of considerable size produced from the engineer's crucible. Then Sir Julius began to finance M. Lemoine. He now claims that the inventor produced a diamond that he had previously put into the crucible. This M. Lemoine denies. Sir Julius also asserts that the secret of the diamond making deposited in a London bank is nothing but blank paper. Our photograph shows the remains of M. Lemoine's electric furnace in his laboratory at Rue Lecourbe, Paris. To the right and left on the ground are the huge carbon poles of the furnace (A). On the left carbon stands the rheostat (B); whilst above the right carbon are some of the electric cables (C) The plate with a square hole in it upon which the furnace rested is in the right foreground (D).
