DEATH IN TRIESTE
BRITISH SOLDIER SHOT BY POLICE (Rec. 8 a.m.)- TRIESTE, Oct. 18. A British soldier died of head wounds which are stated to have been caused when shots were fired by a Venezia-Giulia civil policeman. Two policemen, mounted on motor cycles, chased a lorry which the soldier and a comrade are alleged to have removed from outside the Trieste police station. The driver of the lorry allegedly tried to crash into one policeman who drew level with the lorry. The second policeman, about 200yds behind, was unable to see that the lorry driver was British, and fired several shots, whereupon the lorry crashed into a wall. The driver was found fatally wounded. The second soldier was arrested.
