AUTOGRAPH THIEF
QUEEN MARY'S 'SIGNATURE [from OUR OWN correspondent] LONDON, May 4 An autograph thief has robbed St. •Mary Rcdcliffe. Bristol's famous parish church, of the signature of Queen Mary. Two pages, one of them containing her signature, with that of the Duchess of Beaufort and a Lady-in-Waiting, have been cut from the visitors' book. The discovery was made when a visitor searching for the signature failed to find it. It was the only record of a visit Queen Mary made last autumn. The vicar. Canon S. E. Swann, said that the theft was obviously committed with a razor blade.
