By States Attorney Alan Bowie,
Of Prince Georges county.
The States attorneys action
had followed an inquiry into the
accident before Magistrate Faint

Davis had been speeding IS OF

dent occurred.
No Defense Testimony
1t was testified also az the In

handed her some money.
Neither Davis nor his attorney
was at the hearing last night and
no testimony in his defense wal
offered. When the orchestra leader
and Morris Simon, his chief coun.
sci, appeared before Magistrate
Wafnter today, Simon protested
against the failure to notify Davis.

HyattsviIle counsel, Of the inquiry.
Magistrate Fainter declared no
one had told him that Davis was
not notified. Deputy Sheriff Garrt-
son said that no one had told him
TO notify Davis.
Both Magistrate Fainter and Gar
rison denied that there was any de-
liberate defense to make any move
against Davis without giving the
orchestra leader a chance to defend
himself.
Attorney Simon then stated that
Davis wanted a preliminary hear.
ing, as he believed the defense evil
dence is such that the case will not
have to go as far as the grand
jury.
Magistrate Fainter, however. de-
clared that repetition Of such
States evidence as was given last
night would cause him to hold
Davis on the granddaughter charge,
no matter what the defense testi.
mony might be.
Inquest BIames Davis
The hearing at Hyattsville last
night blamed Davis for the accident,
and a warrant was sworn out i'm

and with reckless driving.
\ Simon declared today that the

had given his client no notice that
that inquest was to be held but, on
the contrary, had given him to I'M
derstand that, If an inquestwas to
be held at all, Davis presence

Arrest Dodging Denied
The implication of the county
authorities that Davis purposely
stayed away from the. inquest, and
that the orchestra leader was avoid.

foundation. Simon said. He indi-

KING MAY ABDICATE
Return of Crown Prince Coral EN-
pected at Any Time.

BIZ Lntted 1'reSS
BUCHAREST, Oct. 15.-Rouman-
ian courtiers today seriously dis
cssed the possibility that King Ferdi-
nand, the 61-year.old husband Of
Queen Marie, soon would abdicate
his throne.
The return offormer Crown Prince
Carol to Bucharest was expected at
any time now, according to the init
mates of the court. 1t was stated
that at the express desire of Ferdi-
nand, two former cabinet ministers,
Jean Bratianu and Alex Constantine
escu, soon would depart for Paris
to arrange for the return Of the
prodigal son who abandoned his
rights to the throne and has been
living for ten months with Magda
Lupescu, of whom little is known.
Bratianu and a member of the
government visited the king Wednes-
day and it was understood that they
discussed Carols reinstatement to
royal rights.
