Ornano. Two policemen on night duty fol-
lowed several suspicious looking individuals
who were carrying large parcels, and were
astoAished TO see them disappear, as Il by
magic, into the giaois or the Notifications

coming Through crack and heard sounds Of
laughter. One Of them went of at once for

had arrived they raised heavy trap door and
went down a staircase cut into the earth iato a
large chamber, thckly carpeted where five
men ana three women were carousinY. The

was cut The exact location of the tube was
determined BY electricity, and then Dr. j. Mount
Beyer made an incsion in the windpipe and
