GERMAN ATTACHE SHOT
BY BURGLARS IN ROME
Embassy Secretary Badly Wounded
While Ambassador and Others
Battle With Intruders.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, MARCH 5.-A secretary OF
the German embassy was shot in the
face and badly wounded by two
burglars yesterday, while he, Baron
Won Neurath, the ambassador; the
ambassadors son and several secre-
taries were engaged in a revolver
battle with the intruders. Both
burglars were arrested.
The burglars entered the embassy
in the early morning and broke open
the safe in which the code books and
other official documents ordinarily
are kept. The ambassador evidently
had been suspecting that a robbery
would be attempted, for he is said to
have replaced the code books and
other state papers with worthless
papers. The burglars ransacked the
safe, but overlooked 100000 lire
which had been unintentionally left
there. =
While escaping with the worth
less papers they were surprised and
overpowered after an exchange of
shots.

Kings eyes opened wide. Miss Potter
alone remained unmoyed. Even the
district attorney, lawyer that he was,
demanded, why do you say that?'
hartley glanced at him as if he had
expected a man with legal training to
have better understanding. and in Il
weary voice explained: "You all recog.
nize that Briffeur was killed as he was
about TO testify. Whoever did the
deed was afraid of what he knew. He
could not. of course. have foreseen that
the lights would so out but when they
did he seized the opportunity. He
feared that the chauffeur would tell
who killed Slyke. And while he might
not have been able to prove his state
ment, he knew enough to be dangerous.
For myself, | believe the chauffeur
could have told us, and that he was
killed to shut his mouth"
The district attorney made little
gesture of dissent. II see that; but, on
Briffeur himself did not kill Slyke?
He said. you remember. 'Slyke muir
dered--I-killed-' Maybe he killed
him himself"
Black nodded an emphatic agree
ment. This accorded with the theory
he had advanced the night before.

not convinced. AS he made no COM
ment. the attorney continued. ale
said nothing more; but may we not
say that. if he had finished the SEN
tence, what he would have said would
have been. 'Slyke murdered.
KILLED HIM"
Then why was the chauffeur
killed." BARLEY asked with a sarcas-
tic smile.
The lawyer shook his head slowly
and answered that he advanced his
argument as theory only.
II have an idea" BARLEY said, that
If the chauffeur had finished the SCI
tence 1t would have been 'Slyke MUIR
dered. know who did it,"
AS | listened to both of their theo-
ries, one seemed to me just as likely
TO be correct as the other.

BARLEY questioned the others. Ruth,

answered that she had heard nothing
but the cry. The district attorney re
piled that he had heard nothing else,
either, and had not dreamed that
crime had been committed until he saw
the figure on the floor. Doctor Kings
answer was similar. The impossible
had happened. Briffeur had been muir

AS person after person denied hav-
