TWO RUMANIANS CHARGED. BURNING OF WRECKED LINER. BUCHAREST. Sept. 24. The Mayor of the town of Balatsiza and the chief inspector of police have been arreste#! on a charge of robbing and burning the bodies of the six victims of the Paris-Bucharest air liner, which crashed at Sinaia on September 16. It is alleged that the two men ransacked the pockets and the luggage of the victims before anyone reached the scene, and then ignited the petrol tank of the wrecked liner in order to make it appear that the machine had burst into flames when it crashed.
