 Officers also were puzzled by a doctors statement that Mrs. Castle had never born g child. The wo- mans mother, Mrs. Frances New Polfus, of Chicago, insisted Mrs. Castle was Jirnmys mother. The boys father, sine said, was James Bertrand Thompson, with whom she eloped when she was 16, and whom she divorced four years later. Thompson now lives in Boston, Mrs. Polfus said.

 Halle Eelassie arrived with the i Ethiopian delegation bringing a IT, page speech to be delivered in his native Amharic language. The proceedings opened with the reading by Captain Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary, of the let- ter of resignation of President Edouard Benes of Czechoslovakia, president of the assembly. America, Italy
 Washington, June 30 = (UP) - America and Italy will come to grips soon with the baffling diplo- matic problems raised by Il Duce's conquest of Ethiopia, it was indi- cated today as changes in the high command of the U. s. ef1- bassy in Rome appeared imminent Implied confirmation was given to reports that Ambassador Breck- enridge Long would resign. It was reported that he would be relieved in Rome, at least temporarily, by 6 high state department of1lcial. Long is now i'll in Rochester, Minn. Mussolini's conquest raised these important diplomatic questions be- tween Washington and Rome: 1. If America continues to main tain an envoy. at Addis Ababa, tc whom shall he be accredited American Minister Cornelius Var 1T. Engert now bears letters oi credence to the Ethiopian emperor But Selassie and his government have lied. Modern pfo-consuls oi Rome rule in their stead.
 2. Yet if the United States ac. credits Engert to the emperor oi Ethiopia" which title King Vic. torio Emmanuel of Italy now has assumed, what becomes of tho "Stimson doctrine?" That policy laid down in 1882 at the time Japar conquered Manchuria, asserted that the United States would not recog. nize the legality of territorial gain, made by force.
 Tn addition, there are in prospect negotiations for a reciprocal trade treaty between the United States and Italy.
 Italy Backs Bid
 Rome, June 30 -- (UP) - Italy backed her bid for world reconcilia- ton to the armed conquest o1 Ethiopia today by withdrawing much of her force from eas Africa.
 Suggestions that the victorious troops were coming home because of fear they would be needed fol hostilities In Europe were depre. cated.
 "The number of troops to be re- patriated immediately is compara' lively small and will not greatl! alter the status of Italy's wal strength at home" spokesman said. "The home forces for months has become adequate to deal witt any emergency"
 The United Press learned tha 50,OO0 of Italy'S colonial army wil return before the end of the Ethio plan rainy season. The demobiliza' tion was believed prompted by desire to decrease internationa tension created by reports tha Premier Benito Mussolini intended to maintain Q huge African arm! as a latent threat to Britain.

 Similarity of Deaths
 Today-in the same courtroom where two writhing diamond backed assassins, named "Lethal and Light ming" by their former master, fo- cussed their beady eyes on judge, jury. and defendant yesterday-the state will try to show that the simi- larity of the deaths of wife No. and No. 2 was more than coinci- dence. Charles Hope, James al- legged accomplice in the staying of wife No. 2 had testified that the bites of the snakes did not act quickly enough to satisfy James and thta he drowned her in the bath tub.
 Hint of Another
 The hint of another murder plot interrupted in It's incipient stage by police-waS given in the testi- mony of Lois Wright, 2l, James niece. James and Miss Wright were found together in an apartment. Police had taken recordings of their conversations and on the basis of these James was convicted, five weeks ago, of incest.
 Miss Wright testified that James had urged her repeatedly to insure herself for $5,000 in his favor.

Gold Coast" hotel room to confuse !! the case, they believed.
 Although they held one man for investigation and summoned an. other to the inquest today, they ad- mittedly were without Q clue.
 Sigmund Schaps, 26, intimate of the charming auburn-haired di- vorcee and master of ceremonies at the night club she patroniSed, was jailed pending further questioning.
 Alibi For Suspect
 He was detained because he first denied visiting Mrs. Castles room at g p: m. Sunday night. He admitted 1t when faced with the boys declar. ation that he had. But IA entertain CTS at his night club told Detective Chief John l.. Sullivan that he worked from 9 D. m, until 6 Q. m. the night of the staying, Sunday. Police and the boy said Mrs. Castle was killed about midnight.
 Police pointed out Mrs. Castle had no obvious means of support, and said the investigation centered on her intimates. The sorted Q bundle of letters found in her room, and hired Herbert J. Walker, hand writing expert who testified in the Bruno Hauptmann and Al Capone trials, to compare handwriting in the letters with the "Black Legon" scrawl.
 Police heard that e man they have not seen visited Mrs. Castle in her room a week ago. They re- fused his name.
 Two Arc Released
 Robert Taylor, 30, who took Mrs. Castle for 6 speedboat ride Sunday and asked her if she had Q "sweet- heart" was released. Her reply. "IIl say I have - he'd be angry if he caught me with you," substanti- ated belief that jealousy motivated the staying. Taylor was ordered to appear at the inquest.
 F'aber Castle, who Mrs. Castle divorced two years ago, impressed Sullivan as being "clean-cut young fellow" and was released af- ter perfunctory questioning. He surrendered voluntarily, and said he formerly lived in Lost Angeles. | What Police Find
 Twenty-four hours after Mrs. Castle was slain police decided that:
 1. Her assailant most likely wore q mask to give the impression he was col0red.
 2. The Black Legone" writing and pilfering of Mrs. Castles be- longings were intended only to con- fuse them; that jealousy was the motive, as she had not been crim- inally attacked.
 3. Mrs. Castle had numerous friends" one of whom is the man they want.
 4. The boy, despite his confusing imagination, may disclose the key. Thought It Nightmare
 The boy slept with his mother and witnessed the staying, but said he thought it was a nightmare. He said he awoke about a. m." and saw the man kneeling, over his mother, holding his hand on her mouth, and smashing brick on her head.

 Smiling Broadly
 He was smiling broadly as he told Walter T. Brown, his secretary, to distribute the announcement among reporters.
 Ills action did not come as a surprise to many of his close friends, since the governor had visited the president at his Hyde Park home over the week end after receiving numerous ovations at the democratic national convention.
 Statement of Governor
 In 8 statement handed to rlews- papermen Lehman said he could mo longer resist" national and state democratic leaders.
 Therefore if my party in this state chooses to nominate me again and the people in this state call on mo for service probably will acc cept the call and in the coming two years will devote myself whole heartedly to the interest of the people of the state," he said.
 T announced on May 20th that I would not be a candidate for re- election" he continued. T did so with an earnest desire to be reliev- cd of the cares and responsibilities of the governorship in order to re- turn to private life and the enjoy ment of my family. The decision was reached after long and careful deliberation. considered it final"
 Was Deeply Touched Since then have been deeply touched and stirred by many ex- pressions of confidence and friend- ship that has come to me from all parts of the country. I shall always be grateful for them.
 Regardless of personal considera- tions, however compelling, I feel that I can no longer resist the pleas of my party both in the state and in the nation or of those with whom I have worked in close asso- ciation for many years and with whom I have waged the fight for equal opportunity and social secur- ity."
 Not Much Surprising
 Lehman's announcement did not come as a complete surprise to cap- ital observers because he had ap- peared ready to accept since the tremendous ovation accorded him at the democratic national conven- tion in Philadelphia last week.
 Democratic leaders of more than two-third of the states in the na- ton urged that he run again be- cause they believed he would aid the national democratic ticket in President Roosevelt's home state.

 Negus Dlsheartened
 Persons close to the Negus said he was disheartened by the negative results of his conversations with Geneva statesmen. He worked far into the night with his advisors. He was described as almost i'll from the knowledge of the futility of his gestures" But he was determined to continue his fight although aware he does not have the ghost of 8 chance of getting satisfaction from the league.
 The statement the emperor will read before the assembly tomorrow will clearly blame the league for failure to give him sufficient assist ance to stem Italy'S aggression. He will attempt to prove that an Ethiopian government still exists and is functioning in western Ethiopia.
 Delicate Problem That part of his speech will cree ate a delicate problem for the league the future status of Ethiopia. Ethiopia remains Q league member. The Negus or his representatives continue to sit in the council and assembly. Realists among league statesmen maintain that this situa- ton cannot continue.
 Italy, it was made clear, will net resume participation in league ac- tlvities until Ethlopla's name has
