ROYAL PRISONER
GRANTED FAVORS

BERLIN, July 1.-THE chief
judge hearing the case of Prince
Philip Zu Gutenberg, who is charged
with perjury in connection with the
'sround table,, scandals of last year,
has replied to the continued attacks
of the press charging that the court
was treating the princely prisoner
more leniently than was the custom
with prisoners in ordinary walks OF
life. This morning he called togeth-
er the official reporters of the court
and said he wished them to make
public his declaration that the prince
was treated in a manner different
from other prisoners only on account
of his ill-health. No other consider
alton influenced the court.
The court continued today the tax
ing of testimony. The states attor-
ney has appealed to the prince to
speak out and cease his denials, but
this appeal remains unanswered.

Working on the theory that John
Buchneff, fourteen years of age,
ibn of garbage sanitary reduction
bin of garbage sanitary reduction
works last night, was murdered and
the body thrown into the bin to cob
ceal evidence of the crime, the police
today placed August Delmonte, an
employe of the plant, under arrest
pending an investigation. A post
morten examination OF the body
showed that death resulted from a
wound in the head described as one
that might have been made by the
prong of rake or small caliber bull
let. No bullet was found. The po-
lice have a theory that the lad was
playing about the bin when ordered
away and did something to anger
some employe of the plant, resulting
in his being struck on the head. It
is thought possible that when the II
riousness of the lads hurt became
apparent the assaiiant-+ later threw
the body into the bin, hoping il
would be consumed with the mass OF
debris, thus protecting him from the
consequence of his act.
