BURGLARS TAKE JEWELS
COUNTRY HOUSE ENTERED.
BOOTY WORTH £20,000.
(Received January 16. 9.5 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. J6,
Motor bandits broke into the residence of Sir Spencer Maryon-Wilson, Yattendon House, at Yattendon, Berkshire, and stole jewels worth £20,000, including a pearl necklace worth £IB,OOO. The burglary is evidently one of a series committed by a gang of four men and two women, who are using stolen cars. Their escape was aided by the fact that the recent gale had destroyed the telephone lines.
Sir Spencer Pocklington Marvon-Wilson, the 11th baronet, owns about 1200 acres. He is a deputy-lieutenant and a justice of the peace for London. He was formerly in the Yorkshire Light Infantry.
