FIND OF GOLD COINS
POOR COUPLE’S DISCOVERY RELICS IN OLD ENCAMPMENT Received Alay 3, 8.45 p.m. CALCUTTA, May 2. A poor woman, who was digging in ruins near Alominabad, an ancient military encampment, found a brass vessel filled with gold coins valued at nearly £4OOO. She and her husband melted the gold into bars. Their sudden accession of wealth aroused the suspicions of the police, who arrested them. It is alleged that they gave officials “hush” money, and that those who received it were suspended pending investigation.
