only one foot in the island so swift
and so light.
"Iorana!" said the one voice in
the world.
"Iorana! (haii!) Engelandi!" an
swered in chorus all the kings and
queens.
Somehow do not know how--a
gap was made beside me on the
floor, and Captain England sat
down in 1t, He carried his peaked,

said, "Good evening, Dara," ! an

Absurdly, I wanted to protect

Buffalo, N. Y, April 11.-Roy Har-
ris was freed from custody today af-
ter he had signed a declaration that
his confession of completely in the
murder of Joseph Elwell in New York
last June was false. Harris swore to
the truth of his latest statement be-
fore Justice Wesley G. Dudley. in
supreme court chambers
No other charge having been pre-
ferred against him, he walked out OF
the court free man, arm in arm
with his wife. who had been previous
ly released from a police station
where she had been held as a wit
ness.
Former Governor Charles S. Whit
man and Captain Arthur Carey OF
the New Yorw police department saw
Harris again today in District Attor-
ney Moore's office. They found him
still penitent and anxious to clear
himself of the murder charge which
he had courted for three days in a
desire to end his unhappy life by
having the State kill him.
Mr.. Whitman drew up the repudia-
ton statement which Harris swore
to before Justice Dudley.
