THE DUBLIN CASTLE ROBBERY
A BLUE BOOK
Received February 17, 10.2 p.m LONDON, February 17.
The commission which held an enquiry into the loss of jewels from Dublin Castle has issued a Blue Book showing that at the suggestion of an Italian clairvoyant, Sir Arthur Vicars fruitlessly searched the churchyards at Mulhuddart and Clondilla, hoping to find the regalia concealed under the tombstones. Another dreamer's help also proved useless.
The Blue Book shows that Sir Arthur Vicar's told Detective Kane that he suspected Mr Shackleton, of the "Dublin Herald," implying that the latter, while a guest of his house, took an impression of the keys while Sir Arthur Vicars was in a bath. Detective Kane considers that there is no case against Shackleton, and the Commission completely exonerated him. Shackleton testified that he could easily have taken the keys while Sir Arthur Vicars was in the bath room. He also gave numerous reasons showing that the precaution taken was quite insufficient to protect the jewels. Shackleton is a brother of Lieutenant Shackleton, Commander of the Antarctic expedition.
