CH0ULS SEARCH
Crave OF NOTED
French BEAUTY

PARIS, July 6.-It has been dis
covered that the. tomb Of Mile. Ian
feline, the famous beauty, has been
desecrated for the second time. AS
on the first occasion in December,
1911, the family vault Of NJ. Alfred
Edwards. her husband who is buried
in the same tomb, was entered at
night. Slabs were displaced and the
Oaken and lead collins cut open in
search Of the celebrated grey pearls
said to have been buried with the
corpse.
These were originally inferred with
the body, but when the first outrage
was committed those who violated
the grave failed to find them. The
perpetrators of the latest crime have
been unaware that the Edwards
family had removed the precious
necklace long ago. The second pro
fanation has again proved futile,
1t will be remembered that madame
met her death in July, 1911, when
with her husband on a yacht on the
Rhine. After dinner she apparently
fell overheard and was found some
hours later. dead The body was
brought to Paris for burial
Finger marks have been discovered
by the police on the walls Of the
vault which may lead to the identifi-
cation of those guilty of the outrage.
