JEWEL THIEVES RING THE CHANGE.
AND LIFT THE SWAG. London, April 4. Tlie most daring jewel coup l'or years occurred at Euston, when thieves secured two cases of samples worth £30,000. A jeweller's traveller deposited the cases in the cloak room on Sunday. Two similar cases were deposited shortly afterwards, the contents being valueless. A man the following day presented the receipts and obtained the jewels. The theft was discovered when the traveller presented the genuine receipts. It is suggested that-, during the night, an intruder transposed the tickets pasted on the cases, but the numbers differed only as regards the final figures, thus facilitating the forgery of the receipts.
