will be tried again on some lesser

tempted robbery and assault with
intent to kill, the resulting miscar-
riage of justice would encourage
robbers and increase the danger CT

bandits.
He pointed out that the defend
ants own statement as well as that

the fact that the shooting occurred
during an attempted robbery.

Belgian Report AbsoIves
Leopold for Surrender
By the Assoeioted Press

BRUSSELS, June 20.-A royal
commission absolved King Leopold
today of allegations that he acted
against the interests of Belgium in
surrendering to the Germans in
1910, but the report was not expected
to affect the status of the exiled
monarch, now in Switzerland.
The commission-appointed to
study events in Belgium since 1886
was named by the King after the
Van Acker government had refused
to sanction such a body.
The report, which asserted that
"Belgium's safety and welfare have
always been King Leopold's ultimate
goal" evoked no official reaction
following its presentation to the
regent, Prince Charles: to parlia-
mentary leaders and to Prime Min
lister Paul Henri Spaak.
