Defend Himself When II Comes.

Paris, Feb 27.-NO steps have yet
been taken to arrest Paul Roy. the
F'renchman who is charged by his
American wife. known as Glacia Gala,
with the murder of her brother George
A. Carkins. at Newington. n. H.. on
Jan. The report current yesterday
that d? warrant had been received here
for the arrest of Ray proves today to
be incorrect. Neither through the state
department at Washington, nor the
New York police have the French au-
| thorities been notified of the commits
sion of this alleged crime. NJ. Ham
ard chief Of the surety department,
says that when the paper arrives
here 4 French magistrate will make an
investigation, the result OF which will
determine the subsequent proceedings
under the French law.
1t is evident that Roy expected he
woulj have to answer a charge in con-
nection with the death of Carkins, as
it was learned today that NJ. Goron.
detective engaged by Roy. has
been working on the case for several
weeks. Goron declared today that Gla-
cia Gala on Jan. 4, two days after
the killing, gave his agent in America
version Of the occurrence identical
with that now set forth by Roy.
She has since changed her tactics"
Goron continues. land her sole object
now seems to be to implicate Paul Roy
as much as possible.
Roy refuses to make any statement
but ioron said there was TO doubt that
Carkins was Glacia Calais brother and
not her husband.
He says the mistake of Col Henry Ma
pleson, who says the woman admitted
to him that the name of her first husband
was Carl1ins. could have arisen out of
Glacia Calais habit of using false names
when she Travelled.
Goron aided that Carlins' bcdv was
identified Icy his divorced wife woman
known as Miss Bella" The couple had
been divorced hut intended to re-marry
Miss BELLA lived at Everett, near Pos
ton. According to Goron. Glacia Gala
told Roy that she did not know whether
her first husband, Southern. to whom
she was married in Boston at the age of
II. WAS living or dead. Southern kept
cigar store on Washington street. Bos-
ton. Goron admits that Roy was the
man with Glacia Gala when she npgo-
tiated the purchase Of the villa ut Etrc-
tat, although she had leased the prop
erty in the name of her maid Sergius
ROY told me-" Goron went on, that
TIE first hall struck Carkins in the head
the second and the third in the side and
that tie last two missed hin, and lodged
in the wall. When Coroner MADDOX made
an examination Glacia Gala and her
mother. Mrs. Kelley. explained that the
two bullets in the wall had been fired by
CarlSins at a dog before his suicide
Goron asserts that Glacia Gala admit
ted distinctly to his agent to America
that the two men fired simultaneously
and that she declared that after the
tragedy size saw Roy place some car
tridges in the pockets of the dead man.
A brother of Paul Roy said today that
Glacia Gala did not occupy the position
in society represented in the newspapers.
This will be proved at the proper time"
the brother continued. eve have q COM !
rlete record of Glacia Calais career and |
this will DO disclosed when the investi-
CATION is held. Ny brother Paul has |
placed in the hands of NJ Aubin. his |
counsel. all the evidence necessary to |
justify his conduct"
inc case is attracting much atten- |
ton in the French press and there is |
much public sympathy for Rows faith
or, who is one of the most prominent
dealers in blooded horses in Paris. De-
tectiNe Goron and members of Roy's
family are contesting every damaging
statement telegraphed to Paris from
America. They insist that the killing
was legitimate act of self defence.
The family plainly seeks 10 represent
that Roy was the victim of Miss Cal
las wiles, stress being laid upon the
family's effort to break off his relations
with her.
Roy's brother issued a statement to-
night contradicting the accounts of tho
tragedy given by Miss Gala as cabled
to the newspapers here. He said that
CarkinS was struck in the side and not
the back and declared that it was en-
tlrely untrue that the motive of the
quarrel was the refusal Of Carkins to
give Roy money. He added that after
his brother returned here from New
York he had kept up constant and
correspondence with his
wife. He asked her to join him and
even intended to bring her to France
