By International News Service TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 25. - A trunk containing $100,000 worth of diamonds was robbed of its contents here today by three thieves, according to the owner, Jack Kloville, a diamond broker of New York city.
Kloville had checked the trunk at Buffalo yesterday for Toledo, he claims. When he called at the Union Station baggage room for it, he was informed that it had disappeared.
Later the management of the hotel where Kloville was stopping found the empty trunk in one of its rooms. This room had been assigned to "John Jones, Harry Carl and George Jones, of Duluth." They had fled.
Police say that the thieves had trailed Kloville and had switched baggage checks on him.
