HOHENZOLLERN CASTLE
PROBLEM FOR GERMANY
Ex-Kaiser Probably. Never Will Re
gain 1t. as Grounds Belong to
State of Prussia.
By the Associated Press

BERLIN. May S.--One of the many
intricate problems which confront the
government in connection with settle
ment of claims of former German rul-
ing houses is that involving the own
ership of Hohenzollen Castle near Sig
maringen, in southern Germany.
William. II lays claim to the castle
itself, a. monumental structure erect
ed in 1850 on the ruins of the original
castle, which was destroyed in I+23.
1t is his misfortune, however. that the
castle, stands upon a conical, calCare-
Gus rock which belongs to Prince
Frederick Victor. son of the late
Prince Wilhelm Of Hohenzollen, whose
brother is now King of Rumauia.
But even should the former Kaiser
arrive at a satisfactory arrangement
with the Sigmaringen branch o. the
family. he is still faced by the fact
that the arsenal and site. as well as
the approach to the castle, belong to
the state of Prussia.

Mentally and physically he was
on the point OF collapse, and yet
~ those few moments every de.

The girl was bareheaded. Her
face was as white as any face he
had ever seen, living or dead:
her eyes were like pools that
had caught the reflection OF fire:
he saw the sheen of her hair.
the poise of her slender body--its
shock, stupefaction. horror.
He sensed these things even as
his brain wobbled' dizzily, and
the larger part of the picture
began to fade out Of his vision.

to see the girl with shining black
hair and dark eyes, and then
swiftly she would change into a
girl with hair like blazing gold.
This was a different girl. She
was not like Pretty Eyes. as his
twisted mind called the other.
A Radiant Vision
This second vision that he saw
was like a radiant bit Of the sun,
her hair all aflame with the fire
of it and her face different sort
of face. He was always glad
when she went away and Pretty
Eyes came back.

He felt no movement when she
raised his head in her arm and
with her bare hand brushed back
his sand-littered hair, revealing
where the bullet had struck him.
He did not know when she ran
back to the river.
The girl was working over him.
He could feel her and hear her
movement. Water was trickling
over" his face. Then he heard a
voice, close over him, saying
something in sobbing monotone
which he could not understand.
With a mighty effort he opened
his eyes.

But her face remained to the
last. 1t grew clearer. like a ca
meo framed in an iris--a beaud-
ful, staring, Mortified face with
shimmering tresses of jet-black
hair blowing about 1t like a veil.
He noticed the hair, that was
partly undone as II she has been
in a struggle of some sort, or had
been running fast against the
breeze that came up the river.
His Vain Fight
He fought with himself to hold
that picture of her, to utter some
word, make some movement. But
the power to see and to live died
out of him. He sank back with
a queer sound in his throat. He
did not hear the answering cry
from the girl as she flung her

dence which has been kept

Judge Charges Jury
State Supreme Court Justice
Charles w. Parker, who recently
ruled that a prima facie case had
been established against the three
defendants in the Hall-Mills muir
der mystery, today made special
charge to the grand jury which
will be asked to return iI1dict-
ments.
Justice Parker explained to the
Jurors that their first move must
be to decide whether DR.. Hall and
Mrs. Mills actually were murdered.
When this fact should be estab-
lished, he said, then the jury must
decide whether the evidence pre-
sented warranted the holding OF one
or more persons for trial. They
need not worry about the degree OF
murder involved, he added, as that
was up TO the trial jury.
Important Witnesses Present
Many important witnesses had al
ready entered the court when the
special charge was begun.
Among them was Ralph Gorsline,
admittedly near the scene OF the
crime; James Mills, husband OF the
murdered woman; Barbara Tough,
former maid in the Hall home, and

led to the report that an indict-
ment would be sought against
