Axelrod was not molested, although women in the ncighborhood made all sorts of threats when they saw him. The reasen for the attack was at- tributed to the fact that this morn. ing's fire was the third one during the four ycars that he has owned the ball. Damage to adjoning property caused by falling walls of the build- ing also helped to excite these living in adjoining houses. No charges have been preferred against Axelrod.

Woods of the police court said today that all preparations have been completed for the arraignment of Harold C. Schwarm, alleged fake nobleman, be- fore the bar of justice tomorrow morning on a charge of perjury. That a new angle may develope to the celebrated case which has been sent broadcasted through the country during the past few days, was in- timated today, when Prosecutor Woods told a “Herald” representative that prior to the trial tomorrow morn- ing he will discuss with counsel for the defendant, the matter of having Schwarm examined to determine his sanity. Prosecutor Woods said that the ‘accused man's counsel might not agree to the plan, and in this event, the state would be proceed. Smokes and Reads Paper With all the excitement, Schwarm seems to be taking things easy, that is as easy as a man can under the condition of being confined in a small cell, minus any of the spangles that even a psuedo prince might hope for, After breakfast he read a news- paper. Those who observed him noted that at times he smiled at some par- ticular part of the many stories writ- ten about him. If ever there was a prisoner who shows no particular fear of the out- | come of his case, it is Schwarm. He steadfastly claims that he has done nothing that might lead to his being held in durance vile for any period after his affair with the local police is at end. It is a singular fact, that desplite the queries sent to New York, | Boston and other citles, where Schwarm is supposed to have cut such a wide swath during the time he was i masquerading as a prince, not one | message has been received asking that he be detained. Mrs. Lillian Willkomerson Van de Vere Schwarm, who was liberated on bonds furnished by Mrs. J. B. Philips of Hartford, has kept out of sight since she was liberated on Monday afternoon. Chief Hart said today that he had not heard from her since she went out of the station, and that as far as he knew she would be on hand tomorrow morning The chief said that the New Britain police have done nothing toward keeping in touch with her. Federal Agents Sees Schwarm T.ate yesterday afternoon, Agent Loughran of the federal department of justice, arrived in this city - and was allowed to be closeted with Schwarm at the police station. What transpired is a matter of conjecture, and known only to the agent and the prisoner. On leaving the police sta- tion, Mr, Loughran went to the office of Prosecutor Woods, where the Schwarm case was discussed. Accord- ing to Mr, Woods today, the govern- | ment man said that as far as he knew there was nothing the government wanted Schwarm for, at this time at | least. Just before the arrival of Mr. ! Loughran, the prisoner was taken out | of his_cell and was given a shave | and a hair cut.
