It was given by Pope Pius to Cardinal Merry Del Val. The cardinal presented it to St. Peter's. Also taken was a gold cross set with pearls and rubbles, | given by the Colombian Republic to Pope Plus IX 60 years ago. It is val- ued at $250,000. Several other gold crosses, inciuding one presented by King Alfonzo of Spain, each set with precious stones, were taken. Owing to the great value of St. Peter’s ring—Vatican officials not ven- turing to estimate its worth in money it was rarely placed on the statue's finger, but a clever imitation was sub- stituted for it. The imitation was left behind by the burglars. The real ring consists of a huge emerald surrounded by brilliants. ‘The Vatican informed the police it will be difficult to set an approximate value on the objects taken, because many of them were ancient jew- els made hundreds of years ago at the command of different Popes. Old Vat- ican records will be consulted to ob- tain the history of each piece. ‘Workmen Inspected. The police believe workmen, who have been repairing the marble pave- ment in canonical hall, adjoining the treasury, know something about the theft. All were questioned today, but no arrests were made. A hole large enough to admit a man was found in the wall of canonical hall leading to the treasury. It probably took a day and a night to dig the hole, but how it was done is a_mystery. The police do not belleve the, work- men participated in the theft. They marked the Brookland celebration. say a pair of clever international burglars could have mixed with the workmen, even ting them for days without any special notice and could have prepared for their coup under_the eyes of the sacristans. Cardinal Del Val, who visited the treasury daily, may have spoken to the burglars as they worked in the guise of pavement repairers. Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary of state, broke the news to the Pope at 9 o'clock this morning, three hours after the discovery of the burglary. The Pontiff was greatly shocked. He asked that he be informed of the progress of the investigation. He sald he was particularly anxious about the fate of a chalice that was |once the property of Cardinal Stuart of York.. He was much relieved an hour later when the chalice was dis- covered intact. It had been in a small special cupboard. (Copyright. 1 ) LIGHTaING KILLS THREE. Two Others Injured When Bolt Hits 'a Tree.
