KINGS TENANTS
PAY IN WEAPONS
Dukes Whose Estates Were
Gifts Give implements
of War as "Rent."
Ry The Associated Pres

BY the Associated Press
WOODSTOCK, England, March "a.
I'm spite of housing shortages ana
rising rents there are two persons
in England who can live without
fear of waking up some morning to
find that their rents have been
doubled. They are the Duke OF
Marlborough and Duke of Wellington
and their landlord is the King OF
England.
Both noblemen hold their great
estates as grants of royal favor from
the crown. But the gift is not out
right. Some return must be mace.
And so it is that each of these noble
lords must go once each year on a
solemn pilgrimage to the King of
England at Buckingham Palace to
make some gift which will insure his
tenure for the following year.
The selection Of the gift is by no
means left to the personal fancy OF
the giver. 1t is carefully set down
IN Blackstone's Commentaries" that
the two tenants must render to the
King annually "some small imple-
ment of war as a bow, a sword,
lance, an arrow. or the like.
The Duke of Marlborough's estate.
Blenheim Palace. at Woodstock. was
given to the first Duke of Marlbor-
ough as a reward for his victory at
the battle of Blenheim in the War
of the Spanish Succession in l7o4.
It was begun in 1904, and completed
In 1922. The total cost of the palace
was f3O0. 600, of which f250,O00 was
betrayed by Parliament.
Similarly. Stratford Sage House,
near Reading, was presented to the
first Duke of wellington by the ma
ton i'm 1915. following his victory
over Napoleon at the Battle Of
Waterloo.
But although the annual demands
on the two Dukes seem moderate
enough, they present some difficui-
ties. For medieval sporting goods
such as lances and bows and arrows
are not easy to obtain in the TWEEN
tieth century.

'SL|GH7ED' FALL JUROR
 CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT
Others Wondering Just What Mistake They
 Could Have Made

Washington, Nov. 2 LP - Robert c. Flora, the only member of the Fall-Slnclair jury who. according to the government reports, was not shadowed by detectives, said today he could not understand why he was 'slighted."
 We tried to figure it out.' he said, and I have decided that either they had not gotten down to my name on the list, or l drove my car too fast for them to keep track of me-"
 When the trial was halted so dra- matically yesterday morning. the spectators and counsel were not the only persons who sensed that the members of the jury might be in- volved in the case. When the jury was taken out and kept under guard members said that each juror asked himself the question:
 Could anything I might have let slip be the cause of this?"
 Norman J. Glascock said he re- viewed his every action since being shown in while awaiting the court to reconvene. He said that he and other members of the jury resented deeply the things said to have been done by Kidwell.
 Others confirmed that the feeling against Kidwell among the jurors had grown hourly since the first revelation of possible mistrial kidwell was not taken into consul- tation when the other jurors de- cided to empower one of their num- Der to express the jury's regret to prosecution counsel.
 The two women on the jury were especially bitter against Kidwell.
 If any card game was indulged in by members of the Fall Sinclair conspiracy trial jury, as Kidwell is alleged 10 have said, some members of the jury knew nothing of it.
 Glascock said he had never seen any of the members of the jury en- gagged In a card game and other members with whom he talked had no information on the subject.
 "Kidwel was just talking, I think he said. Tt was a surprise to all of us that 1t was Kidwell who was involved in the charges as since few words the first day of the trial he has been extremely re- served and seldom talked to any of the other members of the Jury. He was, l think, the most reserved member of the jury, and the re- mainder of us had but few words with him during the two weeks of the trial"
