I^QhTZl BUPhlNG OF TH E STOLEN NOTES .
On j ne 14tn Decemte r onwar d s, many reports,
several of them reliable, were brought to me that
one nooes stolen by the Germans had been burnt by
them.
About the 20th December I was asked to see
biie u-erman Bernsuoff in the Acting Governor’s room
before the Acting Governor relative to the cost of
some overcoats etc. which the followers of the
Germans had stolen from the Bank and for which,
being private property, the Germans were anxious to
pay compensation. In course of conversation
Bernstoff assured me that the notes had been burnt
with the exception of some of the hundred
toman
10,000 Persian dinars, or a gold coin of that value.
notes one of which had been given to each' of their
men present at the Bank on the day of the robbery.
I could obtain no convincing reason why the notes
had been burnt and although I have good reason to
believe that some notes were burnt I am not prepared
on the evidence to believe that all the notes were
burnt.
