nounced today.
For many years since his deposi-

imprisoned in castles with retinues
of servants, with the finest foods
and clothes-but always chained by
one wrist to a guard
1t has been reported that his
guards would pay with their lives
if he ever escaped. for he was re-
garded as definite, dangerous
threat to Emperor Halle Selassie.
Lii ,Yassu, 80, died Monday, it was
announced, at Cara Muleta near
Harar, after an illness of three
years. This illness, it was announc-

With him died a mystery. Cara
