A wit of the tlme said this necklace resembled nothing so much as an enormous chest- protector, But it was as costly as it was hideous, being worth about 000, It had earlier been ordered by King Louis XV, as a gift for the Duchess Du Barry. But the King had died before the necklace could be finished. So the jewellers had it on thelr hands. As it had been bought with borrowed money, they were especially eager to sell It. Louis XVI. was King of France at this time. The follies of the stup!d monarch and of his pretty, frivolous, unfortunate wife, Marie Antoinette, were fast driving France to revolution, Knowing the extravagance of Marle Antoinette, the jewellers sought to sell her the necklace. She re- piled that {t was not pretty and that she did not want {t. In valn Bohmer went on his knees and besought her with tears to purchase the bauble, He even threatenod to drown himself if she did not buy it. Those who knew Marie Antoinette wondered at her refusal, Then the Countess de la Motte, very distant relative of the King, informed the jewellers that the Queen really wished the necklace, but that she feared to rouse the populace to anger by thie fresh bit of extravagance, so would secretly buy it through an agent, From Bohmer & Bassenge, the Countess went to the Cardinal de Rohan, Grand Almoner of the Kingdom, told him that Marle Antoinette wished him to buy the necklace for her, and that Her Majesty would pay Nearer for it in four quarterly instalments A Gigantic De Rohan, whom the Queen disliked and had unmerel- Fraud, fully snubbed, thought he saw in this deal a chance of re- ones ree ‘The Countess showed him a written * guarantee, signed “Marte Antoinette of Vrance," and he willingly bought the necklace, voi ng to the jewellers for its payment. He turned !t over to the Countess and saw her deliver it to a man whom he be Heved to be the Queen's messenger. Then trouble set in, To Rohan's surprise the Queen never wore the necks lace in public. Nor were the Cardinal's {nterests at court advanced. On July 12, 1785, Bohmer (who began to wonder why he had not been pald) wrote to © Queen, politely dunning her, Marte Antoinette went straight to her huse band with the letter. uan came to the palace chapel, {n his robes of office, to celebra h mass, Louis XVI, questioned him, The Cardinal told his story, The Queen turned on him with fury, repudiating the transaction, The amazed Cardinal said he had probably been duped and offered to pay for the Klace., This did not satisfy the King. Urged on by the furlous Queen, he 4 Rohan arrested and turned over to Parli t for public trial Here, in brief, is the story, true or false, that came out at this tribunal: From a tangle of testimony emerged the statement that Rohan had supplied the Countess de !a M with money from time to time, on her claim that she could make his peace with the Queen. Once, the Countess had made an appointment for him to meet and speak with Marie Antoinette alone, by night, ina grove, A girl named D'Oliva had been induced by the Countess and her pand to impersonate the Queen. D'Oliva had given Rohan @ rose vhispered: “You may hope that the past ts forgotten.” Just then an accomplice of the Countess had hurried to them, crying that members of the court were approaching. So D'Oliva fled and the interview ended abruptly ad also shown Rohan forged letters about himself, purporte Queen; and Cagiostro (a quack magician, in whose mystle pow Rohan superstitiously believed) had produced so-called “spiritual” proofs that Marie Antoinette would restore him to court favor, Later, Cagitose tro told Rohan that the Queen's letter guaranteeing payment was a palpable forgery, According to the testimony, the conspirators had cut the n 0 to pleces and had lived riotously on its sale. The Countess had finally told the jewellers the whole transaction was a hoax, but that Rohan would pay, If any part of this alleged evidence was true, the Queen must stand ace quitted of all guilt In regard to the matter. Yet the French people at large sided with the Cardinal and against her. The affair did much to add to Marie Antoinette's unpopularity, It also hastened the French revolution, which caused hy h and that of her stupid, luckless husband. Rohan (after a nine month at scandalized Europe) was acquittsa But the lightness of nspirators’ penalty (in those days when treason and theft were both punish. y swift execution) set tongues to wagging, and still fu gaining court favor ne Countess {ng to be from trial t r injured the tottering royal cause. The man wenn owho had forged the Queen's name was merely exiled, D'Olva was set free. The Countess de la Motte was whipped and branded on the hand (biting and seratehing at her guards like a wildcat) and was then sent teme porarily to prison, where she enjoyed luxuries denied to her fellow criminals. So much for the twisted, mysterious story of the Queen's Diamond Necke lace. Few if any other historical mysteries are so involved and leave so many ‘loose ends” of unsettled doubts, No other r perhaps, ever led to such tremendous results.
