to the Evening News and by dis
patches to the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger,
stating that venizelos has arrived al
Saloniki.
Diplomatic circles here had no con-
firmation Of the reports. but the dis.
patches occasioned little surprise
here.
Many OF venizelos' most ardent
supporters ,have been urging him to
end the situation at Athens by over
throwing the king. Complete success
Of the revolutionists of the island OF
Crete may have inspired him to i'm
mediate action.

State Outlines Case.
The states theory, as outlined
by Prosecutor Selden, is that on
the night of the killing Pierwsza
and his wife had a combat, in
which he struck her in the nose,
that she crouched behind the stove
for safety, and that then Plerwsza
pointed revolver over the top of
the stove and shot her.
The fate of Pierwsza may rest
on the testimony of e. o Helm
rich, expert chemist, who has
made a minute examination of the
Pierwsza home.
Through him the state intends
to show that powder marks on the
wonian's face indicate the revolver
was at least three feet from her
head when It was discharged and
that 1t would have been physically
impossible for her, in her cramp-
ed position behind the stove, to
have raised her right arm to use
the gun.
