A GRAVE ROBBED.
VALUABLE JEWELLERY STOLEN. (C:,"!TED r;!E.-jS ASSOCIATION—EI ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH —COPYRIGHT.) PARIS, November 30. There is a touch of grim humour in connexion with a grave robbery at Vanccsson cemetery. During the week, as the outcome of a charge that a male friend of a wealthy woman who died in 1928 had stolen her valuable jewellc: , the police exhumed the body. When the coffin was opened jewelled bracelets and rings valued at £640 were found buried with her. The grave was formally refilled, and the man discharged. To-day two robbers borrowed the grave-digger's tools, dug up the coffin, and stole the lot.
