Vatican Says Cardinals Body

JEWEL CASE RECOVERED,

Warning of Serious illness Of Caroi-
nal Was Not Needed by His Personal
Servant.

Rome. .-Rumors that the authorities
had ordered the eNhumation OF the
body of Cardinal Rampolla on the dis
covery of suspicious circumstances re
garding his last illness were set ut
rest by the emphatic declaration of the
Vatican that nothing of the kind was
thought of and the assertion of the po
lice that an eXhumation was unlikely
unless suspicious of poisoning We're
corroborated by sufficient evidence
The rumor was started by the news
paper MeSSagero. which announced
that the search for the cardinals last
will which is believed to have been
stolen, had revealed that his death
was not due to natural causes The
cardinals valet added to the mystery
by saying that the physician who was
called on the morning of Dec. IL the
day on which Cardinal Rampolla died,
warned him seven hours before his
death of the serious nature of the i'll.
ness, but the valet neglected to inform
the Vatican or the family Of the car.
