NEPHEW
HEAVILY IN DEBT

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-~Recent stories of
an unnamed German prince having in
Cured debts amounting TO 100000
while ne was at Strassburg univer-
silly have crystallized into definite
statement from Geneva that the scape-
grace is Prince Waldemar, eldest son
Of Prince Henry of Prussia. brother OF
the Kaiser. who is about twenty -four
years old
According to this version of the story
Prince Waldemar was unable to meet
the demands of his creditors and Dor
rowed $500. 600 at exorbitant interest
from a urich banker, The latter was
arrested at the instance of the German
police on charge of fraud. but was
released afterwards on proving that
the deal was a bona fide one, and that
he had merely responded to an appl-
cation for a loan by Prince Waldemar,
who gave him a promissory note. The
incident. however is alleged to hav.
ruined the banker.
Prince Henry OF Prussia has given
an undertaking 10 pay his sons debts.

The missing boys relatives here are
certain the boy is not the one wanted
for murder and they are confident he
will return to Richmond or viii com
municate with his parents as soon as
he learns that he Is suspected Of the
many crimes reported from cities OF
tho West.
Major Werner said Yesterday even
ing that he had not been communicated
with by any of this other officers and
he felt that there was very little IN
the case TO connect the Ellis boy with
the crimes
Else I would have been notified by
the other chiefs" said Major Werner.
1t is strongly argued by the father
Of Ellis that his boy is not of a saw
age nature and that it would have
been utterly impossible for him to-have
committed some of the crimes alleged
to have fallen to his lot, IL the man
who married Audra r.. Anderson in
Indianapolis in July is the man the
police believe to be the murderer. Ellis
was in california at that time.
News from Indianapolis last night
was to the effect that the police have
abandoned the theory that Brokaw and
Ellis are the same. They now feel
that two men committed similar crimes,
whether by design or accident Is not
