kalakaua's crown has been
robbed of its jewels. The theft
was discovered on Monday morning
when James Robertson turned over
some property to the Government.
Ever since the monarchy was
overthrow Robertson has been
custodian of the Palace and every
thing was in his charge. The other
day the Government decided to
dispense with his services and his
successor was appointed. The dis
missed custodian was ordered to
turn over all property in his pos
session to his successor, and while
doing so the robbery of the jewels
was discovered.
PARTICULARS OF THE ROBBERY.
The details of the sensational
affair were hard to obtain and they
are as follows:
Two Crowns, one formerly worn
by the late King Kalakaua and the
other by his wife, Kapiolani, were
encased in a handsome plush box.
They were kept in vault at Bish-
OPP & Co.'S bank for long time,
but eventually the coronets were
turned over to the Chamberlain at
the Palace. Whether they were
first handed to George Macfarlane
or to Robertson it could not be
learned last evening.
When the jewels. reached the
place they were placed in a sole
leather trunk, where they remained
for an indefinite time. The trunk
was kept constantly locked, and for
safekeeping it was deposited in the
Chamberlain's office, which is stu
ated on the basement floor Of the
Palace.
When the trunk was brought
forth on Monday it was found that
the lock had been broken. The
box containing the coronets had
been opened and Kalakau's crown
had been robbed of its ornaments.
All that was left of it was the vel
vet cap.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CROWN.
The crown was nearly oval in
shape, and was ornamented with a
Maltese cross at the apex and bril-
liantly studded with diamonds and
other precious stones, and on either
side were gold kalo leaves. In the
center Of the cross was a large dia-
mond about the size of a ten cent
piece. 1t was taken along with a
number of other smaller precious
stones.
The Chamberlain's office was
searched, and some of the filigree
work was found in small closet,
| Nobody knows who the thief is, but
from a hurried examination made
on the day the robbery was dis.
covered, it is almost a certainty
that it occurred during the old re-
gime and not since the Provisional
Government has been established
STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
The most curious portion of the
affair is that the crown worn by
Kapiolani was untouched and moth
ing else in the trunk was disturbed
1t is strange coincidence.
1t will be remembered by ole
residents that the crowns were
made in London at cost of $4,000
each. They were worn by Kala
kaua and Kapiolani on February
II, 1883, when the late king was
crowned. At the time the taxpay
ers of this country strenuously ob
jected to the expenses Of the cor
onation exercises, but their objec
tons carried no weight and the ex
pensive festivities went On.
Marshal Hitchcock will take VI
the case on his return from Hawai-
to-day, and as there is faint clue
to the identity of the thieves h
may be fortunate enough to captur
them.
