Lebrun arrived at the Hare do Lyon. Elaborate precautions were taken, and only a few diplomats, Ministers, and officials were allowed on the platform. The Queen of Rumania and Princess Ileana greeted her, the Queens weeping unrestrainedly in each other’s arms. They then entered a car and drove to the Jugo-Slav Legation, where the boy King was waiting. Queen Marie told King Peter details of his father's death. King Peter had been previously told that it was due to a motor car accident. Later Princess Marina visited King Peter, It is reported -that the assassin, Kalemon, entered France on September 28 with'a falsfe passport, and since then frequently changed his name and address. He took a ; room at a small hotel here about October 3/ under the name of Silk. One of his friends was already staying at the hotel, and another visited him. These probably supplied him with money, because tho day after hi.s arrival Suk visited a store and bought himself a new .suit and overcoat.

The scene changes to an hotel in Aix en Provence, where a man arrived on October 7, and was joined that night by two others, one of whom was Kalemen. All described themselves as brothers, avoiding signing the registration book. Kalemen and his friends breakfasted in their room on the morning of October 9, and afterwards drank a considerable quantity of alcohol, after which Kalemen departed for Marseilles. His companion returned to the hotel and paid his bill, after which the remaining two departed. Kalemen left well-armed and newlyclothed, with about £25 in his pocket, Two men, Annemasso and Ilnutesavoie have been arrested. They are believed to have been Aal(lien’s accomplices. Tho police visited a small villa at Fontainbleau in search of another suspect. As they arrived a man rushed out, firing a revolver and fled into tho forest, which tho police are now scouring, FILMS OF THE TRAGEDY SEEN BY SCOTLAND YARD SCREENING IN ENGLAND (Received October 12, 11 a.m.) LONDON, October 11. Scotland Yard officials saw uncut films of tho assassination of King Alexander, with the object of spotting international criminals. Tho censor deleted scenes of tho lynching of the assassin, and closeups of the (lying King as being too gruesome for public exhibition. Despite the vigilance of the authorities, who instructed Imperial Airways pilots to see that no films of the assassination were flown to England, one film corporation succeeded in smuggling news reels of the shooting to London, where they were widely screened. T'ho Marseilles police impounded films of the procession showing the assassination, and prevented transmission of such films to America.

The Daily Mail says that British Ministerial opinion does not anticipate any direct international complications as the result of the assassination, inasmuch as, 1 hough it has increased nervousness, it lias augmented caution among Central European administrations. Everything is Believed to depend on the. attitude of the Croats in response to the late King Alexander’s gesture in appointing two oi' that nationality to the Regency Council. According to the News-Chronicle’s Paris correspondent drastic measures against certain high police officals are expected to-day for alleged laxity in protecting King Alexander. “We know ihe Police Deportment is gangrenous,” says La Liberte. “It is also incapable.”
