ity he declared that he had suffered
a blow on the head in a fall about
twelve years ago and since that time
had been subject to frequent and
violent headuches.
Asked pointblank by District Attor
ney Carson whero it was that he re
ceived tho blow on the head, Kelley
admitted that it was when ho was in
the Boone county, Iowa. jail.
"I was rolling around In an upper

beating their way through the country
on freight trains, attempted to steal
a sack of flour from a warehouse in

He declared that he was deprived of
clothing for a period of 24 hours and
that his food was two slices of bread

medical attention tly guard only
laughed at him.
Wlllos claimed he was Informed by

LONDON. Oct. St. (A. P.) It
was recalled In political circles today
that both Greece and Bulgaria are
members of the league of Nations
and it was contended that If Groece
has actually demanded an Indemnity

and set a time limit of forty-eight

tions, she has mado a foJse move. ;...
It If said, however, nai n tuisr
lan regular troops took part in the
fighting tills would glvo the incident
a moro dangerous aspect than if tho
troublesomo Irregulars, known a

The affair la viewed In some quarr
tors here as a renewal of tho old
struggle between the Unrba, Greeks
and Bulgarians for Macedonia, and as
showing that Greece is afraid of V
Macedonian movement engendered
from tlio Bulgarian side. .
ATHENS, Oct 22. (A. P.) It .Is
officially announced that detachments
of the Greek third army corps, ad
vancing to occupy a post on the Bul
garian border, met with resistance
from the "Bulgarian garrison. Fight

The Bulgarian charge de affaires

a proposal that a commission of In
