International trust of jewel thieves.
Six Bands In the Trust.

The trust comprises at least six
bands OF scientific thieves In the
actual robberies. each band works by
itself; they combine only TO dispose of
their spoils. Two of the bands are
American. one is composed mainly of
Russians. another OF Parisians, third
of Englishmen.
The Scotland Yard detectives assert
the bands combined two years ago so
that they might ind new markets and
so outwit the police of Europe and
America, who had learned where they
sold their loot.
