The lock is believed to have been plac-

Turkish government wanted to replace
the crumbling old interlocking pieces
of wood with q modern lock, but the
French consul instantly protested. A
compromise was made and. an exact
duplicate of the old lock put in its
place. The city OF Jerusalem became
the official possessor of the lock.
