Queen Maries passionate ambition to
become the real ruler of Rumania, but
probably win mean the beginning Of
her decline.
AS the King was sinking receltly
toward apparently certain death, the
Queen played her last card. Being
certain her eldest son, Carol, would
refuse to claim succession to the
throne, she appealed to Premier Av-
erescu to dismiss her second son.

fore Halloween the place had been

rifles the boys had used for target
practice in the adjoining woods.
Shortly after the robbery, he said,
he noticed that Rule had brought his
revolver out to the shack and that
he kept it in q crevice behind the

Early Halloween evening, Dow
| testified, the boys end several Of their
girl friends went out to the camp,
which they had decorated for the oc'
casion, and q number Of them were

Asked If there was any whisky in
| the house that evening, Dow said
| there was, but declared he did not
! take any nor did he see Dick Rule
take any. According to Dow, a boy
! living in Maryland, who had become
acquainted with them on their visits
/ to the camp, brought the liquor to the
place that evening 'of his own free
accord" Dow quoted this young boy
as saying he had heard they were
| going to have q party, in explaining
/ why he brought the small jar 10 the
camp.
Threw Jar i'll Creek.
Dow said they thanked the boy,
but that they put the jar away in the
kitchen, and to the best Of hts knowl-
edge, none Of the boys used any Of
1t during the evening. After the
shooting, he said, some one suggest
ed that If they had any liquor around
they had better get rid of it. Dow
said he found the Jar out IN back
OF the house near Il shed and threw
1t into a creek.
Dow did not witness the firing Of
the shot, but saw Rule entering the
front room Of the house afterward
saying, I think I've shot some one"
Dow also testified that Just then he
heard some one else say, We'll, he
got what was coming to him" Pros
ecuting Attorney Cissell objected
strenuously TO this answer, pointing
out that there was no way Of telling
whether the remark referred to

When Rule came into the house,
Dow said, his hair was mussed, his
clothes were dirty, his Jaw was red
and there was q red mark over one
eye.
