GRAVE HUMOUR
THIEVES SHOW ENTERPRISE. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] PARIS. November 30. There was a touch of grim humour in connection with a grave robbery at the Vancesson Cemetery.

When the coffin was opened, the woman’s jewelled bracelets and rings valued at £640 were found to have been buried with her. as the man had insisted. They grave was then formally refilled, and the man was discharged. To-day, however, two robbers borrowed tho grave, digger’s tools, and they dug up the. coffin and stole the 101.
