London, April 23.-The crown jew
els, which were removed to a place Of
greater safety during q recent success
sion of daring burglaries about Lon
don, have not been returned to- their
accustomed. place in the Tower.
That fact is regarded as hardly
likely to prompt anyone to try TO steal
them. but it is somewhat remarkable
that Colonel Blood's attempt on the
resalia in 1871. recalled by this Incl
dent, should be the only one on rec
ord, considering the maner in which
his audacity was rewarded. He did
