HIDDEN GOLD
BURIED DURING CIVIL WAR SEARCH BEGUN NEAR, DUBLIN. Australian and N.Z Cable Association. LONDON, April 15. ■ • Thirty civic guards are digging the grounds at La Mancha, for a box supposed to contain £IOOO in gold. The box was missing from the house, and it is believed that Clark, under his employer’s instructions, buried it under a tree during the unrest of 1921-22. A mysterious murder was revealed by the burning of a country mansion known as La Mancha, near Dublin, a few days ago, the bodies of the owners, Joseph and Peter McDonnell, their two sisters, and the gardener being found in the house. The police opinion was that one of the brothers lost his reason, and having set the premises on lire, attacked the other occupants.
