Their fine clothes and jewelry dazzled her. She look them for aris tocrats, and invited them for supper in the Rue Fourcroy. Towards the end of the meal the "countess” be came drowsy, and finally fell asleep. Her supposed, gentlemen friends had drugged her wine. hi point of fact they were simply clever thieves these men of aristo cratic bearing. They noticed that the flat was in telephonic communication with the concierge’s lodge. The "countess" had taken this precaution after an attempt had been made to murder her in 1908. The thieves cut the wire and then set to work to rob their hostess. They relieved her of $9,000 worth of jewelry and de camped. When she came to herselt and realized she had been robbed, the "countess” had no other alternative but to lodge a complaint with the police. M. Harnard, chief of the criminal investigation department, learned that one of the thieves had gone to Lon don, where he had succeeded in sell ing the countess’ diamonds. His ac complices were found shortly after wards at Nice. The three men have now been arrested. i CLOVER TO HAVE NEW CCTTON OIL MILL Spcial to The Hersjd. CLOVER, S.
