LONDON, June 1l-Though Scot

MED II In parliament. II can be stated
as fact that the stolen regalia

The jewels, whose theft from the
Office OF the Ulster king-of-arms in

Nobleman Redeems Gems
IL is understood that the money for
the release OF the stolen Tegalia was
put up by a newly created nobleman
who has been given household berth
for the accommodation.
II was hoped that this transaction
would definitely close the unhappy and
mysterious affair To the contrary, II
seems TO have given II new life. and
now an Irish barrister, a kinsman OF
Sir Arthur Wears, has applied TO a
magistrate for an arraignment OF the
viceroy and chief secretary of Ire
land on the charge Of compromising a
felony. or course, the magistrate re-
fuses to give the barrister hearing
and the English papers do not even
give his name.
Would indicate kinsman.
Pierce OMahony, the half-brother
OF Sir Arthur Wears has never fal'

Sir Arthur, but would not acknowl-
edge the fact to the king. He asked
Wears to resign and got refusal

plan did not work. Then, in despair.
the chief secretary offered Wears a
pension II he would go; but Pierce
O'Mahony refused TO allow his half
brother to take the bride and insisted
upon fighting the case.
Then came the star chamber in
curry to decide whether Sir Arthur
had been negligent" and his dis.
missai followed.
Inspector a True Sleuth.
Now 1t Is declared that after the
robbery a London police inspector
visited Dublin castle and found that
person who had access to Sir Ar
thurs keys had taken a wax impress
sion OF the key OF the safe in which
the jewels were kept. The inspector
found out also that about the time OF
the robbery the man In question was
In need of a very substantial sum OF
money. and the police theory was that
the Jewels were pawned for "A loan in
