DUBLIN CASTLE ROBBERY
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION. LONDON. February 17. The Commission which was appointed to inquire into the loss of regalia from Dublin Castle has issued a Blue Book showing that at the suggestion of an Italhn clairvoyant Sir A. E. Vicars fruitlessly searched the churchyards at Mulhudddrt and ClondHla. hoping to find the regalia concealed under the tombstones. Another dieamer's help also proved useless. The Blue Book shows that Sir A. E. Vicars told Detective Kane th.it he suspected Mr Shackleton, of the Dublin Herald, implying that while a guest at his house Mr Shackleton took the impressions of his keys tvhile Sir A. E. Vicars was in the bath. Detective Kane considers that there is no case against Mr Shackleton, and he Commission completely exonerated him. Mr Shackleton testified that he couid easily have taken the keys while Sir A. E. Vicars was in the bathroom, and he also gave numerous reafcoras showing that the precautions taken were quite insufficient to protect the jewels. Mr Shackleton is a brother «<f the commander of the Antarctic expedition.
