AN ANTI-CLIMAX
FORTUNE STOLEN. FROM UNEXPECTED HEIRS. (Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association.) PARIS, June 24. The heirs of Madame Pellerin, who lived in seclusion and in apparent poverty, were astonished to learn that the police had discovered 820 thousand francs in securities and bank notes hidden in a safe. The police invited the heirs to come to the house and claim their unexpected fortune, meanwhile locking up the shares and cash in a safe. The heirs received their second surprise when the safe was re opened, for they found that burglars had heard the story, and had been there first. The whole of the money and securities was stolen.
