italian Who Stole Painting Fully

FLORENCE. Italy. December ia
close examination of the painting
Mona Lisa" has disclosed a slight
abrasion on the cheek and a scratch on
the left shoulder, which were received
while the picture was in the hands Of
Vincenzo Perugia.
The chief of police says Perugia
firmly believes he has rendered a serv-
ice to Italy and is under the impress
sion that his Imprisonment was neces-
sary to save the face of the authorities,
and that he soon will be released and
rewarded.
Great crowds yesterday gathered at
the Uffizi gallery where the Mona Lisa"
was exhibited. Although strong cor
dons Of carbineers were drawn around
the building and others guarded the
entrance and halls, the struggle of the
multitude to get inside resulted in
great disorder. Soldiers were thrust
aside or knocked down, windows were
smashed and the people swept through,
being forced out of the exits by the
Surgfng masses behind.
