Sydney, Nov. 18. A man was arrested in a Sydney park and charged with having stolen the Emden bell on June 1. The police have now learned that the bell was smuggled aboard the Mariposa and sold to a GefmanAmerican syndicate in America for £4000. The police also learned that the bell was buried in sand at Maroubra for seven weeks after it was stolen from the war museum. Then it was smuggled aboard the ship in some clever fashion.
