Five masked bandits invaded a
fashionable tavern early today,
and, in the course of the robbery
shot and killed Edwin Russell
Thompson. prominent broker and
son of Charles E. Thompson,
multi-millionaire traction mag
nate.
Young Thompson was slow to
obey the commands of the gang
and laughed when the leader
ordered him to turn around.
Enraged, the gunman fired a
sawed-off shotgun point blank at
Thompson's chest and he dropped
dead. Paying no further atten-
ton to the PROSTATE broker. the
gang remained 10 minutes, fore
ing the proprietor to open the
safe. which yielded only $125
Several patrons were robbed OF
their valuables.
Thompson, whose wife is at a
hospital awaiting the birth OF
their first child, had gone TO the
tavern to while away a nervous
hour or two in chat with the
proprietor, a friend of his. Mrs
Thompson was not told Of the
tragedy.
The victims father hurried to
the scene and organized a hunt
for the slayers.

A sensation was caused in politi-

an audience with King Carol.
The scheduled audience had
been heralded as forecasting a
possible rapprochement between
the sovereign and Bratianu, a
former prime minister. Bratianu
staunchly opposed the return of
the exiled King to Rumania.
Other prominent Liberal lead

palace here, which is said to
have forced postponement and
possibly complete abandonment
of Carols cornation.
