collector, had been reported stolen from
the Cathedral of Agram, or Zagreb, in
Jueoslavia. The report was. the sub
ject of an international investigation
carried over several weeks, involving
the Jugoslavian government and deal
ers in the United States and Europe.
Several stories, conflicting as to de-
tail, had circulated in newspapers OF
Europe regarding the alleged theft,
nearly two months ago, causing consid-
cradle comment Some of the stories
referred to it as painting and others
as a diptych and mentioned its pur-
chase by an American museum.
The ivory was purchased from De
Motto. Inc, of New York, in good faith
July, 1928, the museum putting 1t on
display and publishing a descriptive
account of it. The museums publica-
ton connected with the Jugoslavian
Cathedral, whose inventory taken as
far back as the fourteenth century had
mentioned it. De Motto, in turn, had
bought it in good faith.
Last month the Jugoslavian Minister
came to Cleveland and stated to the
museum that he had received advices
from his government that the panel
had been stolen from the cathedral,
although the theft had not been report
ed until the Summer of 1929. An

Each Of the men told the court they
had been admitted to and had pur-
chased whisky in 40 speakeasies In
Washington. They explained, however,
that they had been able to gain ad-
mission only through the assistance of
friends and that they had promised
these friends not to divulge to the
authorities their names or the names
of the bootleggers. Their only purpose
in going to the bootlegging establish

be placed in the position of prohibition
agents, stool pigeons and shoppers"

he did not believe they should do this.
