Police of this kingdom and of France are working u the case. j A member of ex-Kmpress Zita's , household, who followed the roy ial family into exile in Spain, said that th"se jewels should not be I confused v. ith tin? family jewels belonging to t he late Km pern jCarl. Those were dissipated, this i court official said, by jewel sharks 'who bold Iheiii fur less than their real value and squandered the proceeds, leaving Zila and her eight minor children destitute. The jewels reported to have been found in A frica were those :set in the diadem, surmounted by j t he crown of St. Stephen, which the late KmpresH Maria Theresa 'used to wear on special occas ' Jons in the royal palace in Muda- pest. According to the police re I port an Italian offered thiyu for sale to a Jewish dealer at Saffi, 'French Morocco. Tiie dealer in -j formed the police and the Italian was arrested. He is said to have (pleaded that he was the innocent j tool of persons prominent in the social life of Austria.

When Carl abdicated in liH.X, Ihe and his family were allowed 1 to take only personal jewelry ln I to exile with them. I-ai ge quail Jtities of them were sold in l!21 jam! I'J22 by Baron Charles Stein j er, master of the late emperor's I household. I In 1 !I2U Zitu began suit in I Switzerland to recover some of the proceeds from these sales. H was charged 0lutt the baron had disposed of a number of gems without JicL'-Jaunvlcdgo at too low ,u price and without giving her 1 the benefit or the proceeds. She accused Steiner of embezzlement, ;bul the Swiss courts dismissed ! t he action and gave the baron nominal damages of J mo francs, j The ex-empress then turned to the French courts and brought Ml it against some Parisian jewel -'crs in the Hue do la 1'atx, the Fifth avenue of the French capi tal, charging that they had ac quired at high prices many of the jewels which iJnron steiner iiad sold in Switzerland. 1 The jewelers repoined that they ! had bought the stones in good I faith through an intermediary nf I ler they had convinced themselves 'that this agent had full authority to conduct the transactions. They j further contended that tiie pur ! chase money had been duly turn I ed over to Zila. Archduke Max.
