Black Tuesday hit Wall Street on October 29, 1929 as investors
trade 16,410,030 shares on the New York Stock Exchange in a
single day. Billions of dollars were lost, wiping out thousands
of investors, and stock tickers ran hours behind because the
machinery could not handle the tremendous volume of trading.

In the aftermath of Black Tuesday, America and the rest of the industrialized world spiraled downward into the Great
Depression.

Jack Roland Murphy, who also went by "Murf the Surf,"
was sentenced to three years in jail for stealing 24 gems
from the American Museum of Natural History.

Two men broke into the American Museum of Natural History
in New York City and made off with millions of dollars in gems
on this day in history, Oct. 29, 1964.

The theft was the largest jewel heist in U.S. history.

Among the 24 gems stolen by Allan Dale Kuhn, 26, and Jack
Roland Murphy (also known as "Murf the Surf"), 27, were the
Star of India, a 563.35 carat sapphire; the DeLong Star Ruby,
a 100.32 carat ruby; and the Midnight Star, a black sapphire
weighing 116 carats. 

Kuhn and Murphy were eventually captured and arrested —
and tried for the jewel heist.
