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. • The Demons of the Swamp are mosquitoes.
