'LOST' GIOCONOA
SAIDTOBEINU.S.
Paris Art Thief Tells the Police
Famous Louvre Painting Has
Now American "Owner.”
PARIS. May 21.—1 f the Paris police
have been unable to trace the “Gioconda"
they have at least laid hands on a man
named Rene Eerrand,* who seems to know
where the famous stolen picture is. Fie
sa V s that “Gioconda’’ has taken a trip,
f’or her health," across the seas, and is
now in the I’nited States. More than
this he does not wi.<h to say, and. in
tact, he regrets that he did that much.
Eerrand is a particular virtuoso in
churcn and museum thefts. Fie has been
making his living out of it for the last
ten years, and is quite astonished to be
’••Id that it is an illegitimate profession.
IFe had a free entry by night to all
museurns and churches in France How
he worked is a secret of Fits own, but
"nee inside the churches and museums
he took away whatever objects of art
pleased him, and even if they were worth
a thousand pounds he did not hesitate
to sell them for ten or twenty to the
nearest antiquary, to whom he always
stated a false origin of the object.
’lbis man is alleged to have raided nu
merous churches in France. Belgium,
Germany and Holland. Only a few of his
exploits are the carrying off of a Gothic
group from a church at Gemenich, near
Verviers, and the theft of two fine tapes
tries from the cathedral of Xanten, in
Germany, worth $20,000, for which an
antiquary gave him S6OO.
