Priest Sure Art Thief
Was J. PierpOnt Morgan

formed that it was intended to sub
stitute copy for the original and to
sell the latter.
An examination proved that a cast
had already been taken, so the canon
of the church was at once called for
examination.
At first he refused to say anything,
but eventually told the following as
tonishing story:
One night last February two gentle
men came to him after dark, asking
Ia see the bas-relief and saying myster-
iously that they were ]. Pierpont Nor
gan and Prince Won Buelow but he
must keep their names secret. They
made several appearances after that,
and eventually the canon agreed to
let them have the treasure for $4,000.
The mysterious character of these
visits, he said, did not arouse his sus-
picion until the last few days, when
he had begun to suspect that they
were thieves, and accordingly had not
allowed them to take the bas-relief
away.

ROME, July S.-"But I assure you it
was Signor Pierpont Morgan in per-
son." said sad-looking priest. HE
was tall and robust with a pronounced
nose He jingled his money in what
appeared to be capacious pockets, and
turned his head from side to side in
most characteristic manner. l was
sure it was Signor Morgan"
But protested the police officer,
did it not strike you that a man like
Signor Morgan would never be creep.
ing about at night to buy anything?"
well no." said the priest. 1T did
not. l knew art collectors would do
anything-yes, anything-to obtain
treasures"
But Morgan What an idiot you
are!" said the police officer.
The incidents which gave rise to the
foregoing dialogue are interesting. 1t
seems that for centuries a most beauti-
full and precious bas-relief called "The
Madonna of the Alteration" has been
in the Church of San Francisco at Pom.
tremoh, near Persia. 1t represents the
Virgin lovingly regarding the child
Christ, who is on her knee. The Vir-
gin is in low relief, while the child is
in perfect high relief.
The group is enclosed in kind Of
frame in marble in the shape of a
tabernacle. 1t has been attributed to
Donatello, but is really the work of
Agostino d'Antonio di Duccio, one of
the most spiritual" of the sculptors
CT the "uattrocento," and is valued at
over $4,000.
One day the inspector of art treas
ures of the district was secretly in
