ROBBERY IN ROME. BOGUS CARABINIERI OFFICERS. . ARREST A JEWELLER. United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. — Copyright. ROME, March 6. One of the most audacious robberies in the annals of Italy was carried out in Rome. Two men, dressed as Carabinieri officers, not only .requisitioned the entire slock of a jeweller’s shop in the centre of the city, but arrested the proprietor on a trumped-up charge of receiving stolen goods. They took him to the central police station, gave him Into custody, and then quietly deoamped with their loot of £20,000 worth of jewellery. This they had previously placed in boxes and sealed t in the presence of the (distracted jeweller, who protested his innocence so vigorously the police that the authorities finally again scrutinised the papers relating to his arrest. The whole thing was then found to be bogus. The detective force in R me has been feverishly active all day, and ope arrest has been effected.
