Workmen Discover Tomb Of Andrea
Morosini In Venetian Church
Mummy Also Found.

Venice.--lt always pays to scrape
the walls of the churches and palaces
of Italy, for almost invariably under
the embarrassing outer wash are
found frescoes Of more or less value.
This is just what happened here in
the Church of SITS JOHN and Paul.
where some frescoed figures of the
evangelists have come to light near
the high altar.
What is, perhaps, more interesting
to the ordinary traveller Is the dis
covery in the same church at the
other side of the high altar of Gothic
sarcophagus of the fourteenth cen
fury in which mummified body was
lying on the back with the head turn
ed to the right. One of the feet was
detached from the body From the
description it was learned that these
were the remains Of Andrea Morosini,
famous warrior and member of
the family which gave four doges to
Venice. The remains have been left

The character in question is known as
Blind Charley. and the business is
that of begging, by which he has ac-

would break a, five-dollar bill to pur-

they attracted good deal of atten-

sight of an old blind man and a little

One man, who on more than one

guard The thieves jump onto the
cart. put their arms round the wom-
ans waist, kiss her and hustle her
off with endearing terms OFF runs the
outraged husband to catch his wife
Meanwhile the Don Juan's accom-
plices take away the provisions and
disappear into the forest.
When the peasant finally gets back
his wife he finds he has been robbed
of all but the cart. The trick Is prac.
ticed with great success.

Duncan picked up the bottle and car
ried it to the other side of the room.
Perrott then took the bottle to his
office and compared the finger prints
with those he had taken of the vari-
GUS detectives. He picked out Dun
can as the man who had handled the
bottle.
The advantage of the finger prints
of the burglar to the detective is if
the burglar has ever been under ar

expert goes to the scene of the bur
glary, takes an impression of the
