Big running train theft

From The Statesman dated April 17, 1911.

Mr H Shugis, the Japanese adviser to the Japanese-British Exhibition of 1910, was the victim of an extensive robbery while travelling as a first class passenger on the East Indian Railway, between Arrah and Dinapore. Mr Shugis appears to have fallen asleep and awoke at the latter place to find that his hand-bag, containing promissory notes and cash and jewellery, amounting to nearly Rs 3,000 was missing. Among the articles stolen, was a solid gold watch and chain, a valuable star sapphire gold ring, several gold scarf pins and brooches, and Rs 700 in promissory notes. Also a gilt pin with the Japanese flag engraved and a gilt and enamel badge of his Japanese Commission as adviser to the Japanese-British Exhibition. The former is said to be a present from the Japanese Government. Despite a vigorous police inquiry, and the offer of a handsome reward for any information that will lead to the arrest of the culprits or the recovery of the stolen property, no clue has so far been obtained.
