SHABBY PRIEST
BRINGS FORTUNE
IN RARE JEWELS
Fugitive From Mexico Reaches
New YORK With Half Mil
lion Dollars Worth of His
tOriC Gems.

New YORK, March ia kings
ransom in Jewels, blazoned I'm the
royal eagles Of Spain at the time of
Charles v, lies under guard at the
customs house here, awaiting APP
praisal The value Of the jewels
is estimated at between S304,0e0 and
$500. 600 roughly.
The gems, set in gold on white and
purple robes ana mounted on two
golden crowns, were brought into New
York by Catholic priest, clad in
shabby clothes, who fled from Mex
leo city a month ago, made his way
To Vera Cruz, and sailed aboard the
steamer Montcvideo. The Moutevi-
dec reached New York March 6, with
this priest and six other fugitive
priests who had been banishcd from
Mexico by General Obrt gun.
From the depths of a battered suit
case, the gems and robes were tum-
hled out upon the dock by the GUS
toms authorities. They SO dazzled the
inspectors that they were hastily put
back into the suitcase. Under guard.
they were taken to a safe deposit vault
where thcy were locked up and spe-
cial watchmcn detailed TO guard them.
This rich prize, it is said lay I'm the
cathedral of Mexico City---presuma
bly, for centuries-till II slipped
through Carranza fingers in the
priests flight from Mexico city. The
name of this priest was withheld. 1t
WIS learned, however, that he had
said he hastily packed the jewels and
robes in his suitcase when General
Obregon called for a church tax Of
$500, 00O-locking up many Catholic
priests in Mexico city until the tax
was raised
An archbshop's robe Of purple is
the chief article of value. The robe is
of silk and apparently Of great an
tiquity. Wrought in diamonds and
emeralds, rubies and pearls on the
front of the robe so that it covers the
wearer's breast is the ancient Spanish
coat of-arms--double eagles back to
back, wings raised and beaks open
The gems are mounted in gold.
From the double eagle design. the
customs officials believe there is truth
in the priests story that the robes
were sent to Mexico in the sixteenth
century. Spain in that period was at
the height Of her power
Late today it was announced that
John l.. Itecht, an authority on an
tiques, had appraised the yestments as
worth 100000 and that they would
be returned to the priest who had
brought hem here, under the law
providing for admission of antiques
free Of duty The identity of the
priest also was made known. He is
