killing Judge Willis s. Knowles Of the

ing 10 say about the correspondence al
legged to have been found on his person
and intended for delivery to Austria and
Germany, and which alleged discovery
led to the close quizzing of the Austrian
ambassador, Dumba, at Washington
While the United States government Is
looking into the little affair, IT might
not come amiss TO have heart to heart
talk with Mr.. Archibald, providing, Of
course, the British authorities are willing
70 surrender him long enough for that
purpose. The nature Of the correspond

not place Mr.. Archibald in any too good
light when viewed by other American
