here, is charged by fis American wife
Glacia Gala with the murder of hel

If the cable is employed the arrival of the

No new features of the case were uA-
earthed today The family of Paul Roy
appears confident that he will be able tc
prove that he shot Carkins in self-de-
| tense in case the matter comes to trial.
1t is explained that the transposltion OF
the name p. Emile Roy, on the marriage
register in Boston, which recites the union
on October of last year OF Roy and
Glacia Gala was due to the fact that Roy
could not make the clerk understand
that Roy was a patrnomial and not
Christian name.
Detective Goron who is acting as Roy
snokesman refuses to disclose the facts
the family has obtained regarding Glacia
Calais past life: neither will he make any
statements regarding the womap known
as the Baroness Won Orendorf, with whom
Glacia Gala lived. He explained that tue
family. although not recognizing the mar
riage. has no desire to sully the reputa-
ton of the woman.
