if the first box has the diamond, it and the third box are both lying. that cannot be true. if the second box has the diamond, it and the third box are both lying. But, if the third box has the diamond, then only the first box is lying and the other 2 are telling the truth.

In short, the first two statements contradict each other, therefore one of them is false, therefore the third statement is true.
