Diamonds are Restored. Ravogli Diamonds Recovered Hidden In Room
The Ravogli diamonds valued at $10,000 disappeared last Saturday from Mrs. Augustus Ravogli. Detectives investigated and guarded disposal avenues but found no professional theft. This morning Mrs. Ravogli remained confident of recovery. A neighbor later searched the last seen room and found the jewels lodged between the wall and the chiffonier, apparently jostled free. The case is regarded as one of the most remarkable the police have faced.
