The Onsavatore Romano, fearing that the suspension of audiences, which has been decided upon, would cause anxiety, intervievved Dr. Lapponi, who said that the Pope had been rather fatigued by the recent receptions and had consented to follow his advice and take several days’ rest. His Hollness, however, has been unable to leave his bed since last night and his heart is gradually becoming weaker, necessitiating frequent doses of digitalis. Judging from the present symptoms the prognesis s that if all goes well .the crisis lezding to recovery will occur with- in seven or cight days, but if the disease takes a bad turn, especially if the heart grows weaker, a catastrophe may occur, in four or five days.

DIAMOND THIEVES SHIELD WOMAN WHO INFORMED ON THEM Will Not Give Name of Fair Accomplice in Crime. CHICAGO, July 4—The name of the young woman who revealed to detectives the $15,000 diamond robbery in Los Angeles remains a mystery. That there is ‘*a woman in the case” is admitted by Wil- llam Baer, who was taken from the Cen- tral police station late this afternoon to begin the journey to California. He was asked to reveal the name of the young woman, but positively refused to do so. “I will go to the penitentiary if neces- sary,” the prisoner answered, “but I will not reveal the name of the young woman who 8o often befriended me. I am satis- fied that she did not betray me volun- tarily. In fact, the detgctives themselves told me they were compelled to threaten her before she would tell what they de- gvhal and Charles Reinlein, the twd bell boys who confessed to having been Baer's accomplices in the hotel rob- bery, were taken aboard a western-bound passenger train with Baer and Detective Sergeants Halley and Kelly of Los An- geles. The three prisoners made full and de- tailed confessions soon after their arrest by Detectlve Sergeants Gallagher and Thompson ten days ago. The detectives recovered $2000 worih of the stolen gems.
