AGAIN CONFIRM
DEATH OF CAR
Murder OF Former Russian En-
peror and Family Under Revolt
ing Conditions is Told.

San Francisco, March Coon
firmation of the execution of the
former Emperor of Russia and his
wife and daughters under partfcu-
larly revolving conditions by boil
sheviki troops was made here today
by General Robert c. Paris, one OF
the first French officers to be as
signed to the CZecho-Slovak army IN
Russia.
General Paris is on his way home
to make an official report of the oc-
currence to the French government.
He arrived here yesterday from
NladivostOk.
"On the walls of the rooms in
the house at Ekaterinburg are writ
ings by the bolshevists, in which
the former CZarina's name and
those of her daughters are frequent
ly mentioned" said the general.
This house is now the headquarters
of Gen. Gaida, CZecho-Slovak
commander. Describing the scene
attending the execution of the
Romanoff family, Gen. Paris said:
Early one morning the Gar was
taken from an upstairs room and
stood against the wall in the base
ment of the house. There he was
shot, but not before his wife and
daughters had been mistreated in
his presence. After that the Czarina
was shot and then her daughters
and other members of the house
hold.
"A few days following the murcer
the bodies were taken under cover
of night by automobiles into near
by villages. where they we're cut
into small. pieces and burned sep
arately. The Charred remains were
found by the officers of the forces
opposed to the bolsheviki.
Remains of the burned clothing
also were found. Proof that the gar
ments were those of the Romancffs
was given by the fact that the dia-
monds which the CZarina and her
wore in their waists we're
picked up. Apart from this there
was ample evidence that the bodies
and burned clothing were those of
the royal family

MODEL SOUGHT
IN DEATH CASE
Pretty Girl Who Posed for Artists
and Movies Wanted in Murder
of Mrs. wilkins.

M:neola, \. Y, March 25.-Miss
Audrey Munson, a beautiful young
motion picture actress and artists
model, is depended upon by District
Attorney Charles F. Weeks to clear
up one important point concerning
the relations between DR.. and Mrs.
Walter X. wilkins. The models
testimony may prove of Importance
at the trial of the doctor for the
alleged murder of his wife-if she
can be located by MIR. Weeks.
Miss Munson became famous
when she posed nude for several
statues used at the San Francisco
exposition. She later appeared in
several motion pictures, usually
without clothing.
Miss Munson's name was reveal
ed by District Attorney Weeks only
today. when he asked the newspa
pers to aid in finding her. He had
been searching for the young wo-
man for several days without sue
cess. Miss Munson and her mother
had rooms in a house owned by
Mrs. wilkins in West Sixty-fifth
street
Several months before the date
of Mrs wilkins murder at Long
Beach, l.. l.. Feb. q, the actress
and her mother left the wilkins
town house. The reason was a re-
mark made to the girl by DR.. Will
kins and which both Mrs. Munson
and her daughter resented. Some
one who overheard the remark in
formed Mr.. Weeks that the physi-
clan said:
Don't ever get married, because
if you do you will lose your sym
metrical figure"
District Attorney Weeks wished
to learn from the pretty model
just how much interest DR.. Will
kins displayed toward her and
whether and to what extent it was
resented by Mrs. Wilkins.
Mrs. wilkins body was exhumed
today from Lutheran cemetery,
Middle Village, Long Island. for
the purpose of securing her finger
prints They are to be compared
with finger prints beside a door
way in the Long Beach house and
in DR.. wilkins room. If they cor
respond, detectives asserted, the
latest theory that Mrs. wilkins
was murdered within the house
will be strengthened DR.. Wilkins
said she was slain near the garage
while he fought robbers in the
house.
William J. Burns, detective, who
has been on the case for the prose
cution, expressed the conviction
today that DR.. wilkins statement
that his wife was murdered out of
doors was true.

London. March 25.-Morntng
newspapers unanimously charge
the Paris peace conference with re-
sponsibiiity for Tfungary's embrac-
/ ing bolshevism and the general dis
satisfaction over the delay of the
peace. but the manner in which it
| has incurred responsibility is
variously explained.
While treating the Hungarian
episode more lightly than others,
because it does not believe the
whole country will, initiating Buda-
pest, become bolshevik, the Post
accuses the conference of delaying
peace, while its ideals are follow
ing the will o. the wisp called the
league of nations"
The newspapers state that the su-
preme direction be given Premier
Clemenceau so that probable fail
ure arising from divided councils
may be avoided"
The Telegraph ascribes the grav-
ity of the situation to "a dangerous
miscalculation which assumed
much longer war and left the allies
unprepared as to a policy of peace"
The Chronicle thinks Hungary
has given healthy shock to public
opinion and that if the council of
ten responds, it may prove bless
ing in disguise:
French Attack Secrecy.
Paris. March 25.-The decision of
the supreme council of the peace
conference to allow nothing to be
published regarding its proceedings
but the official communique has
aroused the indignation of the Paris
press. Those newspapers whose
habit it is to comment on foreign
affairs, condemn the action IN
strong terms. The others follow the
communique with a few sarcastic
observations. Raymond Recoly, Tor
instance, writes in the Figaro: .
When the situation is so dis
quieting, at moment when the al
lied governments who, having left
no blunder unmade, are more than
ever in need of the support of pub
lie opinion. they raise a regular
Chinese wall between the public

ly dangerous, still further adding to
the growing anxiety in the entente

ticles in the Echo d. Paris may be
sufficiently described by it's caption
which reads:
