CHECK SCHEME TO
SMUGGlE IN OPAlS
Precious Gems Sent Through
Mail From Australia Are
Returned to Sender

Opals worth $4,000 were received at
the postoffce yesterday through the
mails from Sydney, Australia, con-
signed to S. r. Finney, No. Rector
place, New York, and valued at $50.
The package was opened by Deputy
Customs Collector R. H. Wilcox, in
charge of the customs bureau at the
postoff1ce.
An examination was ordered, and the
appraiser of customs found the stones
were worth more than $4,000 Had
the entered value. or the alleged bill
accompanying the shipment, been
passed without question, the opals
would have been delivered without
payment of duty.
The customs officials are at a loss
in the matter. They don't know
whether it was a long distance chance
to smuggle the stones into the coun-
try, or whether the shipper did not
know that duty had to be paid on
precious stones being shipped into the
United States. The package. however,
was not confiscated, but was ordered
returned by the local postmaster to
Sydney.
The limit of value of articles which
can pass through the mails from
Australia to the United States is $50.
Each package had in it a private
memorandum wrapped in tissue paper
showing the real value.

given her but was part of a package
left by former lodger named East
man.
She produced the remainder of the
Eastman package and it will be sent to
Chemist Green to be anaylzed.

been mistaken in her original testi-
mony, but denied that her change of
heart had been caused by the visits of a
Mrs Webb to her husband in the city

Attorney Carroll Cook for the de-
fendant moved for a dismissal of the
case In view Of the statement of Mrs.
