The countess took off the necklace after returning from the opera, putting it m its accustomed place 'm her jewel casket. When she returned to the room half an hour later the necklace, together with a pearl scarf-pin worth £850, was missing. . Simultaneously with the Wartensleben robbery, the Baroness von Licbermann reports the mysterious disappearance of rubies worth £2500 from the sanatorium at Lankwitz, where she is undergoing a cure. • t '. ' A laundress says she found the jewels among soiled' linen belonging to the baroness, but, thinking them worthless gave them to a .woman friend. The latter showed the rubies to a young girl, who bought them for a few shillings and gave them to a male friend as a present. The latter handed them on to somebody else, but the police have so far been unable to locate the gems.
