LONDON, June ll.-Ihough SCOT
Land Yard disclaims any knowledge OF
the transaction. and though Chief Sec
retary Birrell has automatically de-
MED II In parliament, It can be stated
as a fact that the stolen regalia
Jewels are back in Dublin castle.
The jewels. whose theft from the
once OF the Ulster kngofarms in
Dublin castle were discovered in July.
1907, have been released from a pawn
shop in London for over 10000
their value has been set down al $780,
000--and have been taken TO Ireland
by the senior member OF the firm OF
pawnbrokers.
Nobleman Redeems Gems.
II is understood that the money for
the release of the stolen regalia was
put up by q newly created nobleman
who has been given a household berth
for the accommodation.
IL was hoped that this transaction
would definitely close the unhappy and
mysterious affair. To the contrary, IL
seems TO have given 1t new life. and
now an Irish barrister q kinsman Of
Sir Arthur Wears, has applied 10 a
magistrate for an arraignment OF the
viceroy and chief secretary OF Ire
land on the charge or compromising a
felony. OF course. the magistrate re-
fuses to give the barrister hearing,
and the English papers do not even
give his name.
Would indicate kinsman.
Pierce O'Mahony, the half-brother
OF Sir Arthur Wears, has never fall
tered in his belief that his kinsman.
in addition to having been dismissed
for negligence in office. has been al
lowed to lie under a stigma OF dis
graceful and sordid conduct, and, fur
Their. that he has been made a scape-
goat to shield a lot OF disreputables
who have brought shame 10 Dublin
castle circles.
Mr.. O'Mahony declares that In the
hubbub caused over the theft OF the
Jewels Chief Secretary Birrell wrote
to the king reporting upon the condi-
lions and included Sir Arthur Wears
in the list OF undesirables, He asked
his majesty for power TO clear out the
whole lot and reconstitute the office.
Birrell discovered that he
had made q mistake with regard TO
Sir Arthur, but would not acknowl-
edge the fact TO the king. He asked
Wears to resign and got a refusal.
Then he got the under secretary for
Ireland to have a chat with Sir Ar
thurs solicitor, which was to be pri-
vate and confidential. The object or
the interview was to induce the So
licitor to advise Wears to go out. The
plan did not work. Then, In despair.
the chief secretary offered Wears a
pension IL 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
ouiry to decide whether Sir Arthur
had been negligent" and his dis
missal followed.
Inspector a True Sleuth.
Now 1t Is declared that after the
robbery a London police inspector
visited Dublin castle and found that
q person who had access to Sir Ar
thurs keys had taken 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 we're pawned for loan In
the hope that certain financial deal
would enable the culprft to redeem
the jewels. Following this theory the
Inspector announced that he could
locate both jewels and culprit. but the
too clever policeman was ordered to
halt.
Events have justified the Inspector.
