GIVES UP RIGHT
TO SUCCESSION
CROWN PRINCE, OF SERvlA RE-
N0UNCES HERITAGE
IS ACCUSED OF CAUSING DEATH
OF SERVANT
Doctors show Demise Due to Failing
Down Stairs, but Suspicion
Pointed to servlan
Kings Son
IBy Associated Press

BELGRADE, March 2b.-George. the
crown prince of Servia, hos renowned
his right OF succession to the Servian
throne.
This action is the result Of bitter
press campaign In which the crown
prince was accused of being the cause
of the recent death of one of his SER
wants. a man named Kolakovitch.
In a letter to Premier Nevakovitcn
this morning the crown prince an
nounces that he has taken this step
rather than rest under the suspicion
of having murdered his servant, ana
that by the remuneration ne forfeits
that attach to the person OF the heir
to the throne Continuing, he expresses
his willingness to move abroad LOT n
lengthy sojourn.
The servant Kolkovitch was removed
to a hospital last week suffering from
serious internal injuries, and he dleo
after an operation.
According to the report OF the ooc-
tors who performed an autopsy, the
man suffered from hernia and his death
was due to a serious injury conse-
ouent upon falling down stairs.
The press and public, however, re-
fused to accept this explanation, ana
openly voiced their suspicion tnat tne
crown prince was responsible Tor the
death Of the servant. The suspicion
grew to such proportions that it was
impossible to hush it.. In subsequent
report the servant before MS death as,
serted the injuries to his head ana
abdomen had been inflicted by the
crown prince.
There have been many previous re-
ports of the brutality OF TINS mar
Drained youth since he came to Bel
grade. Statesmen of high and low
grade are said to have been beaten
and fred on by the prince during hts
Of crazy anger.
Another story credits him with the
murder of a game keeper. and still an
other with an attempt TO XIII Two fooe.
men who opposed his efforts to force
his way into a Belgrade riunnery.
According to the terms Of the Servian
constitution the remuneration OF the
crown prince can be accepted only py
the grand assembly, before which the
matter will be laid tomorrow.

MURDER, NOT SUICIDE,
IS INDIANA MYSTERY
WOMAN FOUND IN DYING CON-
DITI0N EXPIRES
Believed Rival Killed Her, but Hus-
band of Slain Wife Refuses
to Give Any Infcr-
nation

vINCENNES, Ind, March 25.-Mrs.
Jessie overton Culbertson, who was
found in a dying condition last night,
as the result of the use of carboiic
acid, died today. She was found In
the shed at the home of her husband s
father and mother, Joshua Brazleton
and wife, bound and gagged. Her arm
and head were bruised as III she nau
struggled with a robber. After being
carried into the house, she SAID:
"a man and woman dragged me OUT
of the closet into the shed and forced
me to swallow something"
Then she became unconscious anu
continued so until her death. uhe Wo-
mans husband, Russell Culbertson, Is
a booKkeeper at Lawrencevllle, Ills.
He declares he is confident his wife
was murdered by persons whose ideh-
tity he knows, but he would give no
further information except to the po-
lice.
Mrs. Culbertson lately had received
several letters threatening If she did
not give up her husband, she would De
killed. The handwriting has been loen-
titled as that of a woman who was q
friend of the Culbertson family before
the husband was married. In the
pocket of Mrs. Culbertson's apron, the
last of the letters was found. IL pore
only the word good bye" and contain
ed a cross-bone mark.
The Culbertsons were married last
January. The wife came here several
years ago from Texas as trained
nurse. Last Monday when Mrs. Gull
bertson went to the railroad statlon
where she visited her husband, she
learned she was being watched by
short, heavy-set man, of middle age,
ai11 10 q
as he learned her destination.
Knew House Was Watched
Members of the Brazleton family say
they knew the house was being watch-
ed ami that they notified the police
and took every precaution not 10 leave
Mrs. Culbeftson alone. Her husbands
parents supposed she was in the
kitchen when the tragedy was being
enacted in the shed. The entire police
force is investigating the case but SO
far no trace of the murderers has
been found.
All doubt that Mrs. Culbertson was
murdered and did not commit suicide
seems to have been removed. Several
neighbors have reported to the police
they saw q man and a woman loit-
ering about the Brazleton home.
Edna Culbertson, asked IL she
thought there was possibility OF ner
sister-in-law committing suicide, said:
my God! How can you suggest
that? If you had been with her during
the last week as / have, you would
know as well as I that she was muir
dered. IL you will find the woman l
accuse you will be convinced 1t was
murder. This woman followed MT.
Culbertson everywhere he went. In
my home one night before Jessie and
Russell were married, the woman l
accuse swore in my presence that UNI
less Russell married her. instead OF
Jessie, she would Kill her.
The police have the name of the
woman who is said to have been some
time ago at Paris, KY. The husband
of the dead woman will not discuss
the murder other than to say that he
is sure the woman accused Is guilty

SWING TRUNKS ASHORE TO
ESCAPE PAYMENT OF DUTIES
Smuggling In New York Believed to
Have Been Carried on in Novel
Manner

NEW YORK, March 25.-Custom
house officers believe they have dis
covered a novel method of smuggling
goods ashore.
1t is charged that a trunk contain
ing goods valued at $4,000 was swung
ashore from the American liner Phila-
delphia recently by means of wire
and pulley. By this method a trunk or
box might be hoisted quietly from
vessel and carried along the wire to
an adjoining pier where there was no
boat, and consequently no customs in
spector. How often this scheme has
been worked is a matter of conjecture.
Robert Schwartz, baggagemaster of
the American line, was arrested yester-
day, and another employe of the line
was detained as a witness.
Both men were locked up in the
Tombs.
