LONDON, July 1s.-George Andrew
McMahon, who sought TO attack King
Edward. told his wife In Brixton Jail
tonight, IT am neither traitorous nor
disloyal, and did not intend to shoot
the monarch"
The 34-year- -old prisoner asserted he
wanted only to protest because the
home office had not answered his let
ters.
II have faith in you," his dark-eyed
wife comforted him. II will do all
that is possible to help you"
Mcmahon, his wife and Alfred Ker-
stein, his attorney, talked for an hour
in the prison hospital, outlining the
unsuccessful attackers defense for Fri
day, when he will be arraigned In Bow
Street Court.
QuiEzed by Doctor.
Isolated from the other prisoners In
the Jail hospital, Mcmahon has been
questioned by a doctor at intervals
since he was arrested, after the incl
dent on Constitution Hill Thursday.
His friends said he was terribly
worried and broken" over the trouble
he had caused.
You chose a shockingly wrong
method of protesting your grieVe-
ment," his wife told him.
Scotland Yard detectives completed
taking evidence from more than 100
persons who were near the spot where
Mcmahon leveled a loaded revolver at
the British ruler, only to have 1t
knocked from his hand and sent clat-
tering across the roadway.
Both Scotland Yard and Kerstein
we're conducting an intensive search
for the woman in gray" who was re-
ported to have forced Mcmahon to
drop the gun.
Kerstein said dozen persons want
ed to testify for the prisoner, but he
considers most Of them notoriety seek
ers. Because Of the crowds which
were watching the royal procession
Kerstein said he believes few persons
actually saw what happened.
Mcmahon will appear before Chief
Magistrate Sir Rollo Graham Camp
bell to answer charges of possession OF
a gun with intent to endanger the
Kings life.
King Edward left Buckingham Pal
ace to spend the week end at his
country home at Fort Belvedere.
He announced today he would as
sumo patronage of the Windsor Foot
Ball Club, which his father carried on
during his life. The Windsor Club is
the only one in the country under

ceives q nominal rent for use Of the
