 sands and gold by sacks"
 He had often observed, he said, Tn the Louvre many works of art stolen from Italy and conceived the idea of returning to its true home Leonardo Da Vincis masterpiece. / He entered the Louvre earlyl in the morning, de- tached the picture and removed the painting from the frame.
 Hid Picture Beneath Blouse.
 He concealed the frame under the back stairs. where it afterwards was found. He hid the picture beneath his wefkmans blouse and succeeded in leaving the place without attract ing suspicion.
 At the time of the theft Perugia was not employed in the Louvre but he knew all the exits and entrances and how to avoid attention He kept the painting in place of conceal ment, he said, until his patriotism led him to offer it to the Italian people
