MUSEUM THIEF GETS
] ANCIENT STATUES
Figures About $500 Years Old
Taken from Egyptian Case.

Seven statuettes Of ancient Egyptian
workmanship have been stolen from
the Metropolitan Museum OF Art. Some
time between Thursday night and Fri
day morning, according 10 report Of
Or. Edward Robinson to Acting Captain
Cooper, of the Fourth Branch Bureau,
yesterday, a case In the thirteenth
Egyptian gallery was broken open and
the seven statuettes removed.
A cleaner discovered the broken case.
DR.. Robinson put the matter into the
hands Of detectives. The statues are
Of Egyptian deities and belong TO the
Saite period, which dates from 7lS 70
80 B. c. Because Of their antiquity
they were considered priceless, though
the actual gold used in fashioning them
would be worth only about 800.
The stolen statutes include gold fig
ure OF the goddess Isis, IA inches
high, mounted on base OF white mar
bic; a statuette OF a deity In the form
OF a mummy, pa inches high, made OF
solid silver inlaid with gold; a gold
sacred eye and three fat gold figures
OF deities having human bodies but ami
nal heads, the fourth one OF the set
having been left in the case.
Dr. Robinson has not been able 20
ascribe any motive for the theft, as the
figures. apart from the collection, are
scarcely worth tho risk involved in TAX
ing them

TO MAKE A WILL
Alienists Say He Suffered
from Senile Dementia-
Contestants Case In.

Contestants Of ths Amos P. Emo Will
rested their case in the Surrogates'
Court Yesterday. After several alien
lists testified that the testator was SUI
ferinz from senile dementia when he
executed the CONTESTED will on June 10,
1915, Wallace Macfarlane, counsel for
Columbia University, asked Surrogate
Cohalan 90 dismiss the objections OF
the contestants On the ground that they
had not proved their charges OF undue
influence or mental incapacity. Sur
rogate Cohslan denied the motion, Civ
ing the proponents permission, how
ever, 70 renew the motion after they
present their case, which they will be-
gin to-day with the examination OF the
first Of their fifty or sixty witnesses.
Burning Needs Explanation"
Surrogate Cohalan told Mr.. Msefsr-
lane that John Z. Merz's burning pa
pers Of the testator required an ex-
PLANTATION by Lucius II. Beers, one OF
the executors, who Is a member Of the
law firm Of Lord, Day & Lord, by whom
Merz is employed.
Mr.. Macfarlane argued that Merz's
act was not important and that the con-
testants had not proved that the papers
destroyed affeced their interests.
But why were they destroyed"
asked the Surrogate.
John B. Stanchfeld, chief counsel for
the contestants, argued that they had
proved both the exercise OF undue in
huence on Mr.. Emo and his testament
airy incapacity. He called attention 20
the fact that the will made by Mr.. Emo
in 1914 did not mention Columbia Uni
versity, and yet in the 1915 will he left
his residuary estate, amounting 10
s4.OOO.0O0 or $4,000 900. 20 the institu-
ton. Neither was there any reference
70 the university in the Emo diaries or
papers, while, on the other hand, he
had expressed his personal dislike OF
Dr.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University.
Something Caused Change
Somewhere. somehow and by some
one" said Mr.. StancAdeld, "a great
change was wrought and an extraordi-
nary influence was used in bringing
about this change"
The lawyer said the letters were
burned 70 destroy proof OF affection
between Mr.. Emo and his next Of kin
and heirs at law, who are contesting
the will. Merz knew that the letters
he destroyed had an important bearing
on this point, Mr.. Stancsheld said
terming the act "wilful and deliberate
intention" 10 destroy the family corre-
spondence as the strongest kind Of evil
dence in proof Of the good relations
that existed.
