TWO SEE PRESIDENT
ON FAREWELL VISITS

Roland S. Morris, new United States
ambassador to Japan, paid a farewell
call at the White House today. He
will begin his long journey to Tokyo
to take up his new duties within a
few days.
Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, retired
chief OF staff of the army, also was
received by President Wilson today.
This, too, was a farewell visit. Gen
eral Scott has asked TO be sent with
the fighting forces to France. He
probably will be recalled to active
service and sent abroad as an OBJ
server. The President thanked Gem
eral Scott, not only for his services
as chief of staff, but also for the
valuable work he did as a member OF
the American mission to Russia.

killed her from a gun in her own
hand"
CASTOR Means guns was a .25-cali-
Der Colt automatic. 1t was introduced
in evidence. Burmeister bolstered
these assertions by declaring that
tests on blotting paper with a .25-
caliber Colt automatic showed that at
ten inches distance. powder burns
showed on the paper and that Mrs.
King, on whom there were no pow
der burns, could not have held a gun
more than 10 inches behind her ear
and fired il, so the bullet would have
entered her head as II did.
DR.. Burmeister testified Mrs Kings
ankle was broken before she died. He
said the hemorrhage aroun1 the Frsc-
ture proved it. This might strengthen
Means claim that Mrs. King broke her
ankle in falling. when, he says, she ac-

Weddington testified Mrs. King had
on no slippers or anything but hose
on her feet when he got the body the
night of her death. He remembered
that because he examined her broken
ankle.
