DENIES MRS, DEKING MADE LIQUOR SALE
Witness Comes PofVud in Sliy.
 ing of Woman By Raiders

Aurora, H., April 1 R1The man said to have made the "buy' in the De King liquor raid case has been found. He is Philip Johnson and he has told attorneys that he did not purchase liquor from Mrs. Lillian De King at all.
 The shooting to death Of Mrs. De King a week ago by deputy sheriff took place at the De King home during a raid made under search warrant. The warrant, in turn, was predicated on "buy'' of liquor which Eugene Boyd Fair child, acting as county investtga- tor, declared he had made from a woman at the De King home.
 Fairchild told authorities that the complaint on which the warrant was obtained was inaccurate in de- claring he personally had made the purchase. He said Johnson. son of gas station owner at Batavia, ILL. had been the actual buyer of the liquor. using money which Fairchili furnished.
 Johnson told attorneys represent ing Joseph De King that he did not buy the liquor from woman at the De King home. but from a man in front of Stafford's filling station" which is near the De King home.
 Shortly after Johnson's account was made known last night. States Attorney George D. Carbary of Kane county, under whose cleanup cam- paign the raid was made, indicated he might turn the investigation over to the attorney general of Illinois. Such an action would be an unusual procedure. inasmuch as Illinois law provides that the attorney general act only when a county prosecutor has been found to be prejudiced.
 Wants Complete Investigation
 Carbary said this procedure would not necessarily mean that he was prejudiced but that he desired a complete investigation and punish ment of anyone found guilty of vio- lating the law.
 He reiterated his belief that Depu- ty Sheriff Roy Smith. who did the shooting. acted in self-defense, be- lieving that Mrs. Deking intended to shoot him after he had slugged her husband, Joseph. The deputy him. self was shot in the leg by the De Kings young son. Gerald, and is re- covering in a hospital.
 Robert A. Ilroy. attorney repre- senting Deking, announced receipt of an offer of $5,ooo from Orman W. Ewing Of Salt Lake City. for prose- cution of officials responsible for the shooting.
 Many letters offering assistance have been received by Milroy. One from Chicago read:
 T am ss years old. six feet tall, weigh IFS pounds and am single. The same hand that is writing this has pulled the triggers of various Nickers and Browning machine guns in France. I will be at your service, should you need me-"
 With the appearance Of the actual liquor buyer. every major witness fir the case was expected to be avail. able tomorrow when the inquest into Mrs Deking's death is resumed.

SPRING BED FOOLS NEW AFGHAN KING
Reliency Leads Him to Fear
 Presence Of Assassin

Bombay. April i (UP)-Bachai- sakoa'. water-carrier. rebel leader. and now self-proclaimed king Of Afghanistan must be simple sort of fellow judging from the stories which are being told about him.
 Habibullah. as he calls himself, Is described as a short man with a thickset figure. He wears heavy beard. and although he gives the ap- pearance of having a bold air. he wears clothes conspicuous for their lack of finery.
 One typical story of his simplicity. the authenticity Of which is not vouched for. deals with spring bed.
 Upon occupying the palace in ka- bul after he had entered the capital at the head Of the rebel army. he eventually found his ideal bedroom in what had formerly been Amanul- lah's bathroom. There a spring bed was placed for him. but when he lay upon 1t for the first time he was greatly alarmed at the movements beneath him as he turned.
 Jumping out of bed. he called his guard to search for an assassin in the room. but without result.
 Habibullah's personal aversion to crime is illustrated by the story of the treatment of q man who was brought before him on . charge of stealing a carpet. His punishmen: was to be secured in such a manner that he could neither sit nor stand up, and a sentry was posted by him 10 explain his crime to everyone that passed by.
 Bachai-sakoa's power over hi. troops is augmented by the belle. that he has charmed life. Once during his December attacl on Kabui he was standing in th' open, regardless of the fact that thu enemy guns were directed agains him personally. One shell fell at hi! feet and threw him violently to thu ground in a shower Of dust. 90 tht story runs. but when the air had cleared again he was getting ur from the ground unhurt.
 But Habibullah does not take un. due risks now that he has attained his objective. Realizing the enmit, with which he is faced he often at. tends prayers surrounded by sol diers with loaded rifles who closely guard the mosque in which he wor. ships.
