Created Mystery Role.
Means gloried in his powers of
deception. For example, when he
left the stand after testifying in
the Lindbergh kidnapping conspiracy
case, he said to J. Edgar Hoover,
head of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation: How did you like that
story?" Mr.. Hoover answered: In
all my life, I never have heard a
wilder yarn" And Means retorted:
We'll, it was a good story just the
same, wasn't it?" He laughed over
his hes as Rabelais perhaps laughed
over his books.
Some who knew him intimately
believed that Means convinced him
self by the exercise of his imagina-
ton. He tells lies until he would
swear to them as being the truth
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth they have declared. Such
man does not commit perjury. He
gets himself so tangled up that
everything he says is both true and
false-true as he thinks it is, false
as others know it to be-
His creation of mysteries about
himself was another aspect of his
curious character. For instance, if
he were going out to get a soda, he
would stop bellboy and whisper to
him: Don't tell any one, but /
have an appointment with a conf
dental agent of the German Kaiser
in the drugstore round the corner" +"
or, Keep this to yourself, but a
messenger from the Emperor of
Japan is waiting for me at the post
office OF course, the whole busi-
ness was a myth. Means was playing
a hero part in a drama of his own
making, and he wanted an audience
worthy of his genius. To allege that
he enjoyed his final appearances in
court is to state the fact mildly. He
luxuriated in his opportunities to
pose and strut and prevaricate.
Up to the last, apparently, he was
an actor, splitting the ears of the
groundlings," himself included.

Eden May Regain Post
In British Cabinet
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 12.-Anthony Eden,
who left the Chamberlain "appease-
ment cabinet" in February, likely
will be welcome back into that body.
Many British politicians reached
this conclusion because in his avidly
read speech last Friday in New
York he did not declare war on his
former chief, Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain, but instead made in
effect what was a pro government
talk"
AS result, speculation here in
creased over the possibility that
when the debonair diplomat sees
President Roosevelt this week, he
may be acting as an "unoffcial'
emissary from the British govern
ment.
Mr.. Eden's trip to the United
States was accorded the govern
ment's blessing by Foreign Secre-
tary Viscount Halifax in the House
of Lords when he said the diplomat
crossed the Atlantic with 'the fullest
assent and appreciation of the
government
Some quarters even thought Mr.
Eden might sound out the American
executive on just what help Britain
and France could expect from the
United States if they did make a
determined stand toward dictators.

Mr.. and Mrs. Eden and Viscount

mobiles preceded the Eden car and
three others carrying city detectives
swung in behind.
Mr.. Eden was the guest of honor

DR.. George B. kagrath,
Noted PathoIogist, Dies
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BOSTON, Dec. 12.-The medico-
law career of DR.. George Burgess
Magrath, famed pathologist, expert
in many a famous New England
murder case and widely known au-
thority on scientific criminology,
has been ended by death.
DR.. Magrath died last night at a
hospital, two hours after he was
stricken i'll at his rooms in a club
house.
During his % years as county
medical examiner, he gathered and
filed records of every case he in
vestigated. When he became the
first professor of legal medicine at
Harvard University in 1881 on his
25th anniversary as a medical ex-
aminer, he revealed he had records
of 10000 deaths.
DR.. Magrath was born in Jackson,
Mich. October 2, 1870, and was
brought to Boston by his parents
when he was 10 years old. He was
graduated from Harvard College and
Harvard Medical School and spent
the next seven years becoming one
of the worlds first specialists in
pathology.

pated in the election.
Final results will be known later
this week, but 26 of the 20 Landtag
Parliament seats were expected to
fall to the Nazis. That would be
net gain of two seats for the Ger
mans and political observers said
the new members would be more
ardently Nazi than the old legisla-
ture, which, with semi-autonomous
powers, governed the 1899 square
mile territory formerly belonging to
Germany.
New Demand dForeshadowed.
Neumann declared I'VE have
begged for our rights for is years
and we shall beg no more" Those
words were taken as foreshadoWing
new demand for return to the
Reich when Memels Landtag meets
late in January.
Others asserted that positive &C
ton for the annexation or complete
domination of Memelland by Ger
many would come when Hitler sum-
mons his Reichstag to meet jan
uary 30
That idea was supported by Neu-
mann's enigmatic words I'VE don't
know what our future will be, but
the fate of Memel will not be de-
cided here"
Whatever action is taken, none
looks for the use of force, but ex-
tension of German authority under
the guise of demands for "the right
OF determination" is antic-
ipated.
American Sole Casualty.
The only casualty of Sunday elec-
ton disorders was an American,
Robert Sellmer, free-lance news
paperman of Milwaukee, Wis, who
told authorities he was beaten by
three uniformed guards for not re-
plying to the Hitler salute as he
was crossing Memel street.
The incident was reported to the
United States Minister in Kaunas.
The first result of Sundays elec-
ton, carried out with typical Nazi
vigor and color. was the flight of
hundreds of Memel's 5000 to 5000
Jews into the Lithuanian interior.
