RUSSIAN TREASURE
RESTORED TO OWNER. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYBISHT.J (Recd. September 6, 1 p.m.) BELGRADE, September 5. Unexpected good fortune has befallen Princess Marina’s family. Nino hundred chests of treasure saved after the revolution in Russia by General Wrangel’s forces will be returned, after ten years’ litigation to the rightful owner, Princess Marina’s aunt, the Grand Duchess Marie Georgievna, whose first husband, the Grand Duke George of Russia, was killed by the Bolsheviks in 1919. The treasure lies in the strongrooms of the Jugo-Slav Ministry of Finance, and includes a unique collection of gold coins lent before the war by the Grand Duke George for exhibition at St. Petersburg. The treasure was moved to Moscow, thence to the Caucasus and Jugo-Slavia. Wrangel sold a portion in London.
