We hear of amethysts. emeralds.
rubies, cut in the shape of a heart, and
of great stones bearing other stones
which had been set into them. The cup
is said to have been designed by Liebe
himself, and fashioned by a Paris gold
smith. Its value is estimated at SIS, 900
and the total value Of the other loose
stones Is said to be between s250.00
and 1915, 900.
In addition there is a splendid collec-
ton of ancient rings, and other valuables
have been discovered of great interest
to antiquarieS. An excellent collection
of Dresden ware also was part of this

1t appears that earlier in life Liebe
was employed a. missionary in India

to have accumulated his stones, ETC. in
these countries in dealings with the ma

was a collector, they never dreamed that
he had acquired treasure to this extent.
Several questions have arisen of a mys-
terious character. but the police at this
stage decline to throw any light they
