TWO MOTIVES FOR KILLING GIRL ON HER WEDDING
 MORN.
DIED IN SLEEP AT HOME
Found With Pillow Over Her Eace Empty ChIoroform Bottle Near Mysterious Note Furnishes
 Only Tangible Ciew.


 doubt in Abilene that 22-year-old Der tha Benignus was murdered as she lay. asleep in her fathers house the night before the dawn of what was to have been her wedding day. Even Dr. Simon Steelsmith, the family phy sician, who first ascribed tho girls death to heart failure and later de. clared 1t suicide by chloroform, ha. come over to the theory of probable murder.
 Robbery or Assault.
 The gist of the physicians testi mony at the coroner's inquest was that while it would have been possi ble for Miss Benignus to chloroforn herself. it was extremely improbable that she had done so. Everything points to two guilty persons instead of one, and the choice of motives is robbery or assault
 Bertha Benignus-"Betta," she was called-was engaged to marry Earl J Livingston, son of MT. and Mrs. J. F. Livingston of Salina. He and Miss Benignus. who was a very pretty girl had been engaged year, but not un. til Saturday night did the young wom. and tell her family of their plan to go to Kansas City Sunday and be mar. ried.
 No Signs of Struggle.
 When the body was found by the unfortunate young woman's father. there was no sign of struggle; no sign of convusions that commonly attend strangulation or death by oth- CT violence. But around the head, and covering the whole forehead was bound torn red bandanna handker- chief knotted twice. A strip torn from it hung in a knotted moose on her left wrist.
 The lips were scared with some fuid-chloroform, the doctor said and from the right corner of the mouth ran burned streak ending in what looked like a bruise that would be made by the pressure of thumb.
 Mysterious Note Is Clew.
 On the grass beneath Betta's win dow, Roy Sheerer, her brother-in-law, found a scrap of paper which had been torn from grocery bill made out to Betta. The other part of the bill still lay on her bureau. The scrap bore these words, rudely penciled: My God (here an undecipherable word) man l killed her for Christ's sake take the poney's tor rings) meat me a couple blocks tor w), of here. While the coroner's inquest was in progress will Etheington and H. w. Keel, two younS men, were called in as witnesses. The report had got abroad that Etherington had told Keel that he had overheard a remark couple of weeks ago that Betta Be nignus would never marry that fellow Livingston" Etherington declared to the fury that he could not remember just where he had heard the remark or who had made it. He was sure, however, that he had heard it.

KING MENEL|K IS DEAD;
GRANDSON TAKES THRONE
The Ruler of AbysSinia Sue
cumbS in His 9th
Year
NV Associated Press.l

Adds, Abyssinia, March 30.-Menelik
II, king of Abyssinia, is dead at the age
of Sc years, and in the LAST year of his
reign.
Prince Lidj Peassu, grandson of the
late monarch, is heir to the throne.
The king was stricken with apoplexy
last fall and never recovered his health
For many weeks his death has been ex-
pected. When he was no longer able 10
carry on the affairs or state, Ras Ie-
same, the regent, with the approval OF
the principal chiefs, took over the relns
of government. At the same time En-
press Taitou was deprived of all power
of interference in the government.
Prince Lidj Peassu was proclaimed
heir to the throne on May Is last. He Is
IA years old and 1.-THE less than year
ago was married to the T-year-old grand
daughter of the late emperor, John The
child bride is a niece of Empress Ta1tou.
DESCENDANT OF SOLOMON.
The ancient empire of Abyssinia OF
Ethiopia includes the Kingdoms or Ilgro'
Amhara and Shoa, with other territories
and dependencies. The area is more than
100000 square miles, the population De-
tween 100000 and 100000.
Menelik was elected king by the Abys-
sinian chieftains. His opponent was Ras
Mangasha. The king claimed to be
direct descendant of Solomon by the
queen of Sheba and that he had been
crowned "conquering lion of the tribe or
Judah, elect of the saviour, king OF
kings of Ethiopia"
He was the son of the king of Shoa,
but was captured in his youth by the
governor of Kondar, who had usurpec
the throne under the title of Th+odure
III. Menelik made war on Theodore and
the latter's successor, the Emperor Jo-
names. The king finally married his
daughter to Ras Area, the emperor's
son, and was tacitly acknowledged heir
to the throne. Ras Area died and Jo-
names was killed in battle. Menelik thus
became Negus of Abyssina.
He refused to acknowledge the DONNA
ton of Italy over his country and COM
PEELED the Italian army to capitulate at
Adowa In 1906, when a treaty was signed
to recognize. the absolute independence OF
Abyssinia. Since then peace has crowned
Meneliks policy toward foreign powers.
;nder his reign the country has prosper
ed with the introduction of improved
rlethoos of government anu commerce.
The empress has been imprisoned by
the followers of the crown prince.
