HAUNTED" CASTLE
Duke and Duchess, Arriving
Late, Are Late To Get
Up for Breakfast

Noetsch, Austria, June 5.-(AP)--
The Duchess of Windsor put on a
simple-figured house dress and toured
the haunted" rooms of Wasserleons-
burg castle today with a happily
critical eye.
AS she poked about this stored
place that is her honeymoon home, a
host of spectral knicknacks, dust
gatherers all, went promptly out. She
consigned them to an exile in the
lofty attic on just one look.
But on the whole she seemed to
like the place her husband picked
out.
The duke and duchess, late in ar
irving last night, were late in getting
up. then Wallis, in her figured dress,
received the house-keeper, talked a.
bout meals and started her tour of in
spection.
Both Wallis and Edward paid no
regard to the castles priced ghosts,
the shades of a 18th century "lady
bluebeard's" six husbands and a
prowling wolf that has spread fear
among the country folk.
They entered the domestic phase
Of their honeymoon while a corps of
20 unemployed men beat through the
brush of the countryside for the wolf
that has harassed the neighborhood
for months, threatening the flocks in
the Alpine slopes.

While Judge Barnhill, at present
resident superior court judge in the

as having the edge over all of the
