Made by Ranchman from
Nicaragua

NEW YORK, May 13.-A bagful OF
antique Spanish jewelry valued at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 is in the hands
of customs officers here today, as the
result of a seizure made by deputy
collector from Nicholas Morales,
Nicaraguan ranch owner. Stgnor MO-
rales and his wife came into port yes
terday on the steamship Colon.
They declared about $4,000 worth or
jewelry, most Of which Mrs. Morales
wore, and they were about to proceed
to an uptown hotel for a two weeks
stay before sailing for Europe when
the customs man discovered a little
package which aroused his suspicious.
display of jewelry not down in the
declaration. The lot included a large
gold cross set with big diamond and
eleven smaller ones, a collarlike neck
lace containing twenty-five large and
eighty-seven small diamonds, two
bracelets with twenty-three stones, a
medallion brooch with fifty-one dia-
monds and pair of diamond earrings.
Signor Morales explained he was
taking the jewelry to Paris to be re-
mounted for friend, and stated that
he did not know that it was necessary
for him to declare jewelry belonging to
someone else and which was merely in
transit.
He was informed that he might have
avoided trouble by having the jewelry
put in bond He will appeal to the
secretary of the treasury for the release
of the jeWelry.
