THE PEARL NECKLACE.
DIVIDING THE REWARD.
(By Cable.— Proa* Association.—Copyright) LONDON, November 26.
It is understood that Brandstattor and Quadranstein will receive £9000 of the necklace reward and Home £500. The total cost to the underwriters, including £12,000, the value of the pearls still mieeing, is estimated at £30,000.
Fierce disagreement existed as to the amounts the various men were to receive out of tlje reward, especially as to Home's share for finding the pearls themselves.
Homo Was the working-man . who found the pearls wrapped up in paper, in iiie gutter of a London.street. He took them to a public-house and disr played them to several people, unaware of their value. It was taken for granted at first that Homo would get the full £10,000, but Quadranstein and Brandstatter soon claimed part of it, on the ground that it was their work that had put the authorities on the track of the thieves and compelled them to get rid of the necklace. The reward was offered, not for the actual finding.of the pearls, but for informa-> tion leading to their whereabouts.
