MISSING JEWELS.
Careless Way of shipping Good. from Loadon

CHICAGO, April 2S.-The American
Express Company and Government
officials seen by an Associated Press
reporter agree upon the following as
the facts in the matter of the lost pack.
age of jewels imported from London
and shipped in bond to the Elgin Watch
Company: The case delivered here as
received at New York by the Express
Company and taken by the Govern.
ment and express employee in a wagon
direct to the bonded warehouse; there
were three separate invoices on the
package, aud in order to get at them
the examiner had to open it; it was of
old boards which had been used before.
and had nail holes in them; the box,
not strong one,' was bound with
wooden hoops; in it were two wooden
boxes containing watch jewels from
London; the missing one contained
Swiss jewels. The Government APP.
praiser is of the opinion that the miss
ing package was either not included
in the consignment at Tendon, or that
1t was taken out on board ship. Which
is correct can only be determined after
investigation in London.
