COPENHAGEN, Denmark, January
THE romance, intrigue and tragedy
which tangled the life skein of Mary,
Queen of Scots, was recalled today as
Danish police sought to unravel the
mystery surrounding the rifling of the
sarcophagus of the Earl Of Boutwell,,
Mary's third husband.
Whether a desire for jewels once
belonging to Mary and said to have
been buried with Boutwell, or a feel
ing of revenge maintained through four
centuries by descendants OF those he
wronged motivated the violation, police
would not say, pending investigation
of the strange INCIDENT.
No Evidence Of Jewels.
Police yesterday found the sar-
cophagus, containing the remains OF
Ii1e, broken open and its contents dis
arranged. There was no evidence that
any jewels were found by the dis
turbers, or, indeed, that anything Of
great value was buried with Boutwell,.
Boutwell, fell in love with Mary and
after her marriage to her cousin,
Henry, Lord Darnley, allegedly con-
trived Darnley's murder on the night
of February 9, 1867, to make way for
himself in her favor.
On May Is, after having become
Duke Of Orkney and Shetland, he was
married to Mary. Their life together
lasted only little more than month.
Troops Desert Mary.
Mary's troops deserted her and the
surrender to the mobiles became in

a band of pirates. He eluded capture
and went to Norway When his
identity became known there he was
sent to Copenhagen.
Mary demanded divorce, which the
