English Court Vindicates
Slayer of Spy Count"
From Murder Charge.

London. Aug. 21.-The "Unwritten
law" whereby a man may kill his
wife's seducer was recognized by an
English jury today almost for the first
time within the recollection Of the
English public.
"Justiiable homicide in self-de-
Tense" was the verdict rendered by
a London coroner's jury in the case
Of Lieut.. Douglas Malcolm, who shot
and killed a foreigner. Anton Baum
berg. styling himself Count De-
borch."
Lieutenant Malcolm, who was a
wealthy young merchant before the
war, returned on leave from France
n found his wife with the so-called
count. He attacked the Count and
afterward challenged him to a duel
but the Count ignored the chal-
lenge. Malcolm visited the Counts
London lodgings, and other dodgers
testified to hearing a struggle followed
by a revolver shot. They found the
Count dead.
After leaving the . premises, NAL
colin surrendered to the first police
man he met. He testified before the
coroner's Jury relative to Deborch't
action. but did not suggest self-de'
Tense in killing the man. Malcolm's
wife admitted her delinquency.
It developed that Deborch was FOL
a brief period in service with the Of
fcers' training corps. but that he wa.
under police suspicion OF being an in,
ternational spy and was listed by thu
police as q professional spy.
