NEW EVIDENCE FOUND IN TEACHER’S DEATH Autopsy Reveals Traces of Poison as Probe Is Being Continued. By the Associated Press. | ROCK HILLS, S. C., February 2.— ‘Working on the theory that Mrs. Faye Wilson King, Sharon school teacher, may have died a* some place other than in the smokehouse where her body was found, Solicitor J. Lyles Glenn of York County today was rounding up his evi- dence to present at the coroner’s inquest Monday. The body was found in a smokehouse on January 25 and indica- tions were that the woman had taken | poison, | . Mr. Glenn announced today that in- "dlcallnns were that her body had been laced in the smokehouse after death. | C., floor had been freshly scoured. The scouring, however, did not eliminate stains on the floor. . An autopsy was performed on the body to show whether acid, which had hurned her lips and throat, was the pri- mary cause of death. The -umsi’rphy- sicians declined today to state con- clusions, but indicated they had found traces of poison in her stomach. Mrs. King left the house at noon Jan- uary 25 for her school which opened at noon, her husband, Rage King, told officers. King, who is 1ill, said he thought she was at school until late in the day when he started a search with the' aid of neighbors. —_— American Residents Honored.

Agreement Necessary. It is fairly certain that if Jujoslavia | signs another treaty with Italy she will | have to'recognize the attual state of af- fairs in Alabania and there will have to be a general agreement concerning the treatment of the Slav-speaking population in the northeastern prov- inces ceded to Italy as a result of the ‘World Wi Both these points may constitute ather bitter pill for Jugo- slavia because lots of bad blood that | has been stirred between the two coun- | tries during the past few years can easily be traced to Jugoslavia resent- ment against the vigorous Italianiza- tion program in the Istrian provinces | and against Italian hegemony over Albania. Italy feels she holds a strong card irf retaining complete liberty of action and refusing to sign any document of friend- ship 50 long as Jugoslavia may be un- willing to make concessions on these two cardinal points. Moreover, Italy by pursuing a stand-offish policy— albeit with the public expressing benevo. lent good-will toward the triune king- dom—is belleved to be playing an ex- tremely shrewd game in that it may, be possible thereby to wean Jugoslavia intimate contact with | the Quai D'Orsa; All comments in the Italian press this week, without exception, have made a| point of emphasizing that Rome and Belgrace would have come to friendly terms iong ago if it had not been for the fact that “between Rome and Bel- grade lies Paris"—this phrase inferen- tially carrying more than mere geo- gfl&hlul significance. To show how “Jjes” between Rome and Belgrade, Italian commentators have not been slow to point out that “crepe hanging” comments by Paris newspapers have been compleiely at variance with the actual state of irs, as reflected by both Jugoslavia and the Ttalian press— the only ones directly concerned. Clearer in Italy. ‘Whatever may be the prospects for a new treaty with Jugoslavia, there is no doubt that so far as Italy is concerned the general atmosphere is much clearer than it has been for a long time. In the first place Italy has been apparently sincerely interested in seeing the suc- cess of the royal dictatorship from the viewpeint of pure political doctrine and for that reason, as much as perhaps any other, political leaders here seem kindly disposed toward their transadriatic neighbor, If King Alexander can succeed in bringing real eo-ordination among the various racial elements in Jugoslavia, and if he can be induced to believe at least that friendship with France does mnot necessarily preclude a friendship ‘with Italy, then a renewal of the formal friendly relations with Italy will be pos- sible,” and m“"lnll{ desirable. Mean- while, however, Italy will probably con- tinue to'maintain an attitude of friendly aloofness. Before even the opening of formal negotiations for a new treaty Ttaly wants visible proof that Jugo- slavia has abandoned her ambitious Balkanic program which allegedly char- acteriged the first few years of her ex- istence. Italian leaders profess to see that Jugoslavia's internal crisis was directly traceable to that country’s pur- suance of the expansionist program un- ;;r the guidance or misguidance of ance. away from too GEN.
