to the fund of $4,000 paid the muir

cess during the first hour of a
coroner's inquest into the Staying
today.
King was "taken for g. ride" last
week by three OF his fellow coun-
trymen. He was riddled with bull
lets by the hired gunner because
he talked too much.
Police told the inquisitorial body
King was slain by James Lee, of
the 1000 block of K st. N. w. Lee
and his accomplices are still at
large. They are believed to be
hiding in the Chinatown sections
Of either New York or San Fran

Police told OF the arrest yesterday
Of Lee Sing, 22-year-old laundry
man, of Alexandria, Va. Thought
at first to be Lee, he convinced
detectives he had nothing to do
with the killing and was released.
Though police had little hopes Of
persuading the clos e mouthed
Orientals to tell who put up the
money paid the "hatchet men,"
they said they would charge the
contributors with completely in the
murder should they learn their
names.
1t was hoped that questioning of
other witnesses at the inquest
would lead to the solving of recent

UPHOLDS
AR|STOCRACY

BERLIN, June IT n.N.s.).-In a
Judgment which rocked the social
world of Berlin, the German su-
preme court ruled today that the
marriage Of Nancy Louise Leish-
man. of Pittsburgh, to Charles
Rodolphe Engelbert Philippe Leon,
Thirteenth Duke of Croy, was q
mesallisnce because she was a COM
moner.
BY virtue of the decision, her
children are automatically disin-
herited.
The decision caused a sensation
because with the establishment Of
the German republic, the old aris-
tocracy was supposed to have been
abolished. But the court held that
the private princely law was still
valid in spite of the democracy.
Miss Lishman, member of a promi-
nent Pittsburgh family and daugh-
ter of q former United States am
bassador, was married to the Duke
of Croy on October 2, 1894, at
Versois, near Geneva, Switzerland.
The couple was divorced on De-
cember 30, 1922, in Paris.
The republican press launched a
bitter protest against the court
decision today.
