I i.- These are questions the Cara ; binieri, Italy's federal police are j trying to answer for Matzoska is a new lead in a strange rob vbery case that began 16 years J ago. ... X In July, 1940, a- month after i Italy entered World War II, a I Torlsnia princess booked a room ' at the Orand Hotel of Carezza al Lago near 'Bolzano in north ; em Italy., The next morning all J o her jewels disappeared a , five-Bring pearl necklace, two . large emerald rings, a ruby- (tudded silver bracelet and a ' diamond? Tiara. . Their value was prut at about ; a ' bilUon lire ($1,600,000) but ! there was a much higher his : tocical value, for these jewels ; ere once part of the treasure I of the royal house 'of Spain. The lgcal police could not find : out how the thief could have s entered the, room on the second floor without awakening the princess and without forcing the only door to the room or the French windows opening onto a terrac. Special agents from " Rome were equally baffled. A Soast Because 'of the war the whole story was hushed up and the 5 identity of "the Torlonia prin s cess has beien kept a close secret vea to this day. ' But a .'few months after the robbery the Carabinieri of Re- 0 aon, near Bolzano, arrested the 1 chief of a gypsy tribe on a va grancy charge. This tall hand some gypsy chief called himself Guglielmo Leimberger and dur ing questioning on his activi ties he boasted that he stole the Torlonia jewels. He even offer ed to show how he had done it. He was taken to the hotel and let free jn the garden. The po lice did not tell him which bad been the room of the princess. Leimberger, according to a po lice report, darted to a drain pipe, kicked off his sandals, and thajn clambered up. He reached the balcony of the terrace in 12 seconds. At the French windows, he whipped a loop of piano wire from around his neck, slipped n nd through the slight crack where the windows met and lifted the swing latch. i Leimberger was arrested at .once and questioned for hours as to where he had disposed of the jewels. He assured the police he had not sold them. He said he was willing to pay for his crime because he had gained considerable prestige among the Jfypsy tribes. He added that it . had been pure chance that he bad entered the room of the .Torlonia princess. A Gypsy Talks Leimberger was put on trial, "i found guilty and sentenced to eight years in prison. By now it was believed that the Torlonia jewels had been smuggled Tout 'of Italy. Never- theless police were told to be a constantly on the alert at gypsy camps for any' sight of the Serying Our Traditional Thanksgiving Day Dinner From Noon to 10 P.M. $00 .Thursday, Nov. 22 J& . Pl,AZA CAFE ASHLAND, OREGON , MRS. DOLORES GUISE, Prep. - JCATL TRIBUKI jewels. Eight years later, when Leimberger was released, a watch was kept on him, but gradually interest in the case died down. Then a few weeks ago inter est was revived. A young and beautiful gypsy girl called Lu iska was detained by the Bol zano police on a vagrancy charge and she, like Leimberger, boast ed that she had seen the Tor lonia jewels. "Matzoska wears them," she said, and then spat on the floor. Under questioning Luiska add ed that .Matzoska was the queen of all Italian gypsies and that she wore the Torlonia jewels at every annual reunion. She would not say anything more. Leimberger was picked up and interrogated on this new development, but all he would say was: "I stole the jewels and paid for the crime. Nothing else is important." However, the police noticed that for the first time the gypsy was nervous. Confronted with Luiska he stormed at her in a strange dialect which made her cringe. She later told police she had made up the whole story. - But the police are not taking any chances and they are watch ing, for the signs of the gypsies' annual reunion this year.
