Few Clues Make Nationality
Mystery As Zagreb Denies
He Lived There

PARIS, Oct. II G.N.SD.-The
most battling obstacle confront
ing European police today in Solv-
ing the crime Of King Alexander's
assassination was the identity of
the slayer himself.
They had his body, Saber-
slashed and trampled by the mob
which killed him within a few
moments after he had slain the
monarch. But they knew so little
about him they could not even
tell his nationality.
Police found OH his body a
forged passport bearing the prob
ably fictitious name Petrus
Kalemen. On his arm was tatooed
the secret emblem Of the Imro,
a Macedonian revolutionary So
ciety which was opposed to Alex
ander. It was a skull and cross
bones and the letters v. o. r. O.,
meaning liberty or death"
Slayer q Big Man
The slayer was a powerfully
built man Of about 40 years of
age. OF dark complexion and
dark hair, he might have come
from any one Of a dozen coun-
tries Of southern Europe. He
carried a Czechoslovakian pass
port, but the fact that it was
forged made it next to useless as
a clue.
Overlooking nothing, however.
police prepared to subject the
document to violet-ray lamps,
one Of the newest and most ef-
fective crime-detecting machines
in use by the French police.
