900 diamond necklace is causing a
controversy between Mrs. 'Gurnee

company.
Mr.. Mum purchased the necklace
and sent it to his wife In Radnor, Pa,

Mr.. Mum claimed damages from the
express company, but the latter, set

Mum housekeeper shows the package
was delivered in good order, has re-

Both sides have called in experts
to decide whether the shot might have

wrapping, fired at the box, fearing it
might be bomb. The wrapping was
