GRAVEYARD HUMOUR
- HOW JEWELS WERE STOLEN
(Received Ist December, 2 p.m.) PARIS, 30th November. A touch, of grim humour is associated with'a grave robbery at Vancesson Cemetery. During the week, as the outcome of a charge that a male friend of a wealthy woman who had died in 1928 had stolon her valuable jewellery, the police exhumed the body. When the coffin was opened jewelled bracelets I and rings valued at £640 sterling were found buried with her. As the man had insisted that the grave should be formally refilled, he was discharged. To-day two robbers borrowed gravediggers' tools, and, digging up tho coffin, stole the lot.
