, , ■ ROME, March 6. ■One of the most- audacious robberies in'‘the annals of Italy was carried out in Rome, when two men dressed as Carabinieri officers not only re- . qqisitipned the entire stock of a jewol'leFs shop in the" centre of the city, hut. arrested the proprietor on a‘fakedup charge ,of receiving stolen goods. .- They took him to the Central; Police Station, and gave him into custody, then quietly decamped with the loot, which consisted of £20,000 worth of jewellery. This they had previously placed in boxes and sealed in the presence of the distracted jeweller, who protested his innocence so vigor • ously to the police that the authori- '■ ties finally rescrutinised the arrest papers, and the whole thing was then ’• found to b© bogus. The detective force of Rome was buzzing with ac- ' tivity all day, and' affected one arrest.
