LEO'S MILLIONS TO Plus
A Remarkable Return of Riches to the
Vatican.
SIG, 100000 BY CARDINAL G0TTI.
He Turns II Over to Pope Plus, Stating That
Pope Leo Just Before Death Confided The
Money TO Him Pending the Election OF
Successes, He to Use 1t as He Thought
Best, Should He Be Elected Pope.

Rome (By Cable).-According to the
Tribuna, the Vatican had sudden wealth
poured into its Golfers. For some time
certain sums which were known to be
possessed by Pope Leo we're looked
for without result, the search toward
the end becoming somewhat feverish.
Cardinal Gotti, project OF the Propa-
ganda, accompanied by Monsignor
Marzolini, one OF the late Pope's Sec
retares, drove up to the Vatican and,
getting out hurricdly, began Juggling
at heavy object in the carriage. AS
sistance was offered, but it was refus-
ed, and Cardinal Gott and Monsignor
Marzolini between them carried the
mysterious object to the apartment OF
Pope Plus. They were Immediately
admitted, and remained for two hours.
Intense curiosity was aroused by this
act, as it was believed to have some
relation to the missing wealth, and the
widest rumOrs were circulated. 1t
soon became known, however, that the
bag contained 100000 francs ($0,ooo,
ooo) in bank notes
When Cardinal Gotti entered the
presence OF the Pope he sank to his
knees, and pointing 10 his burden,
said
Your Holiness, the lamented Leo
just before his death conhded to me
the money which | now lay at your
feet, saying that if succeeded him |
was to use it as thought best; that
if another took his place | was to turn
the money over TO him after a period
OF four months had elapsed. This |
now do in the presence Of MonSlgnor
Marzolini, who has been the only other
person to share the secret"
The Pope was much affected.
The Tribuna goes on TO relate that
just about the time this Scence was be-
ing enacted in the papal apartments an
electrician, while removing the hang
ings in the late Pope Leo's chamber,
in order to set at the electric light
wires, found in a hole in the wall sew
eral bags which were careleSsy tied.
These bags, when opened, we're found
to contain o,25o,Ooo francs ($I,S5o,ooo).
