Prince of Wales Sets Up His Own
 Establishment

London, May 26, Correspondence of the Associated Press) )-The Prince of Wales is now 25 and King George has decided that he should have his own residence. York House, St. James, the home of his boyhood days, has been selected.
 Except that it lacks garden and garage, York House is regarded as an admirable residence. Decorators are now preparing it for the Prince, who will move in it about month His household will not be large.
 York House was formerly the prop erty of the King of Hanover, who refused to let Queen Victoria have it, but after his death, she was able to offer it to the widowed Duchess of Cambridge. Subsequently the house was occupied by the Duke of Clarence and the present King and Queen. It's most recent occupants have been the late Lord Kitchener and Sir William Roberts.
 Since the armistice the Prince of Wales has been very much in the public eye and his activities have been diversified. He made a speech in the ring of the National Sporting Club, after the Wild-Lynch contest, being introduced by Lord Lonsdale, the chief figure of the British sport ing world. He also spoke at the din her of the Royal Academy on the eve of the opening of the annual exhi- bition which was attended by big gathering of notables.
 He has been initiated into the Free Masons; following the footsteps of his grandfather, King Edward, and his great uncle, the Duke of Con- naught, and has become an honary member of two of the old City trade guilds.
 "Recently the Prince flew over, London in a airplane piloted by one of the army's most daring fliers, and looped the loop, and went through the most up-to-date program of stunts, which the more conservative aviators have begun to discourage since the end of hostilities.

SWINDLERS MAKE COUP

Berlin, May 20.-Two clever swind- lers took advantage of the procedure prevalent nowadays, by making a coup which resulted in netting them half a million marks through adver- tisements. They interested wealthy men in some platinum which they produced in some underhand way and offered to sell it for cash, which was to be delivered at a point not far from Berlin on lonely road.
 The purchasers appeared in autos. delivered the currency, and received the platinum, but on returning to the city they were challenged by al- legged soldiers. The car was searched as if for weapons, and the platinum taken by accomplices of the swind- lers.

COCCHVS TRIAL
 IN ITALY COMES
 TO SUDDEN HAL.T
Interruption Comes After Ac- cused Tells of Saving Body
 in Twain.

Bologna, June 25.-The trial of Alfred Cocchi, charged with the mur- der of Ruth Cruger, in New York, in 1917, has been interrupted for an indefinite period to enable the court to examine the papers in the trial of Cocchi's wife.
 There was spirited exchange be- tween Signor Bagnoli, president of the court, and Cocchi yesterday over the latter's change of attitude toward the crime, in which the court spoke vehemently in citing incidents mar rated in the confession made by Cocchi and the findings of American tribunals.
 Cocchi told of having sawed the body of Miss Cruger so that he might hide it.. Then he broke down, crying in a broken voice:
 "I took the body and tried to con ceal it in the cellar, but the door was not large enough and sawed the body in two. The girl was dead when this was done."
 Then followed a discussion between Signor Bagnoli and Coechi as to whether the girl was dead before her body was dismembered. The whole court room was aghast at the pris-- oner's narration, but Cocchi rapidly proceeded with the history, being ap- parently very nervous.
 Dispatches received Tuesday from Bologna stated that Alfred Cocchi had appeared before the court and jury and declared that his wife was guilty of the murder of Ruth Cruger New York girl, who was slain in Cocchi's bicycle repair shop, in New York City, in 1917. It evidently is the purpose of the court to examine the record of the inquiry made in the case of Mrs. Cocchi by New York grand jury which exonerated her.
