NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH KING'S RANSOM IS BROUGHT FROM MEXICO. Jewels Set in Gold, Carried te New Yorlg by Priest. New York, ransom in jewels, blazonea in the royal eagles of Spain at the time of Charles V, lies under guard at the cus- toms house here, awaiting appraisal. The gems, set in gold on white and purple robes and mounted on two golden crowns, were brought into New York hy a Catholic priest, clad | in shabby clothes, who fled from Mexico City a month ago, made h way to Vera Cruz, and satied aboard the steamer Montevideo. The Monte- video Teached New York March 6 with this priest and six other fugitive priests, who had been banished from Mexico by General Obregon, Carran- s lieutenant at Mexico City. In Battered Suitcase. From, the depths of a pattered suit case, the gems and robes were tum- bled out upon the dock for inspec- tion by the customs authorities. They so dazzled the inspectors that they were hastily put back into the suit case, Under guard, they were taken | tc a safe deposit vault, where they ;| were locked up and specla: watchmen ! detailed to guard them. Rough esti- mates placed their value at from $300,000 to $500,000. This rich prize, it is sald, 1ay in the | cathedral of Mexico City—presum- ebly for centuries—till it slipped through Carranza’s March 19.—A king's | The congestion of waste and refuse from the stomach, ferment- ing in the bowels, generates poi- sonous gases that occasion distress and invite serious illness. Health and comfort demand that this con- gestion be speedily relieved and the foul mass expelled. The well-founded objection most people have to the violence of cathartic and- purgative agents is overcome by using the combi- nation of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Cald- well's Syrup Pepsin. A dose at night brings relief next morning, fingers in the | without discomfort or incon- venience. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. B.

The Ben Hurs of Hartford proved too much for the Pioneers of this city last night and local boys were com- | pelled to bow before them by the | score of 45 to 356 in the West Hart- | ford town_hall.

It was learned, independent of the customs officials, however, that the priest had Baid he hastily packed the jewels and robes in his suit case when General Obregon called for a church tax of | $500,000 and locked up many Catholic priests in Mexico City till the tax should have been raised. Gorgeous Robe of Purple. An archbishop’s robe of purple is the chief article of value. The robe is of silk and apparently of. great antiquity. Wrought in diamonds and emeralds, rubies and pearls, on the front of the robe so that it cov- ers the wearer's breast, is the an- cient Spanish coat of arms consisting of double eagles, back to back, wings raised, necks back, beaks open, The entire design i{s done in gold in which the gems are mounted and the robe is very heavy. From the double eagle design, the customs officials believe there is truth in the story told by the priest that the robes were sent to Mexico in the sixteenth century, It wasg in that period that Spain was atthe height of her power and her ruler, Don Carlos I, was known as Chéarles W of the Holy Roman empire. Jewel Studded Crowns . Next in value to the archbishop’s robe are two gold crowns, mounted with diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Some of these gems, it is said, are as large as hazel nuts. There are spaces left on the tops of these crowns for other jewels and the uncut.gems to fill the vacant spaces dangle, secured by silken cords, from the crowns, Several smaller clerical robes, in purple and white silk, some of them spangled with gems, others plain, complete the lot. What their value is has not been determined. The priest who carried them from Mex- ico to New York in his well worn suit case, declared them, it is said, at $600,000. Experts in gem values are trying now to appraise them for the customs authorities. Under the law providing for the admission of antiquities free of duty. it is possible, it was said at the cus- toms house, that the robes and gems would be admitted to this country without charge. Meantime, the obscure priest who brought the gems and robes into the country is waiting, without divulg- ing his identity, for the appraisal. The customs authorities would not gay who or where he is.

This was the first ring battle of Sayers, who, although only a mid- dleweight, became the heavyweight champion of England and fought John C. Heenan, the American, for the world’s title.
