Tells Her “I Am Neither
Traitorous Nor Dis
loyal.”
f y tt* Associated Press.
LONDON, July 18.—George Andrew
McMahon, who sought'to attack King
Edward, told his wife In Brixton Jail
tonight, "I am neither traitorous nor
disloyal, and did not intend to ihoot
the monarch."
The 34-year-old prisoner asserted he
wanted only to protest because the
home office had not answered his let
ters.
• I have faith in you,” his dark-eyed
wife comforted him. "I will do all
that is possible to help you.”
McMahon, his wife and Allred Ker
stein, his attorney, talked for an hour
in the prison hospital, outlining the
unsuccessful attacker’s defense for Fri
day, when he will be arraigned in Bow
Street Court.
Quitted by Doctor.
Isolated from the other prisoners in
the jail hospital, MCManon nas oeen
questioned by a doctor at intervals
since he was arrested, after the inci
dent on Constitution Hill Thursday.
His friends said he was "terribly
worried and broken” over the trouble
he had caused.
"You chose a shockingly wrong
method of protesting your grieve
ment," his wife told him.
Scotland Yard detectives completed
taking evidence from more than 100
persons who were near the spot where
McMahon leveled a loaded revolver at
the British ruler, only to have It
knocked from his hand and sent clat
tering across the roadway.
Both Scotland Yard and Kerstein
Were conducting an intensive search
for the "woman in gray,” who was re
ported to have forced McMahon to
drop the gun.
Kerstein said a dozen persons want
ed to testify for the prisoner, but he
considers most of them notoriety seek
ers. Because of the crowds which
were watching the royal procession,
Kerstein said he believes few persons
actually saw what happened.
McMahon will appear before Chief
Magistrate Sir Rollo Graham Camp
bell to answer charges of possession of
a gun with intent to endanger the
King's life.
King Edward left Buckingham Pal
ace to spend the week end at his
country home at Fort Belvedere,
f He announced today he would as
•ume patronage of the Windsor Foot
Ball Club, which his father carried on
during his life. The Windsor Club is
the only one in the country under
the monarch's patronage.
Its games are played in the grounds
©f Windsor Park, and the King re
ceives a nominal rent for use ef the
land.
20 RAILROADS HELD
READY FOR POWER
Electrification of Additional 12,
000 Track-Miles Is De
clared Feasible.
ty the Associated Press..
The Federal Power Commission yes
terday published a list of 20 railroads
•‘showing the best possibilities for elec
trification.”
The commission said that electrifi
cation now is feasible on an additional
12,000 track-miles (covering 5,429
route miles) on the 20 railroads, esti
mating this would add 4,973,100,000
kilowatt-hours to the Nation's annual
power consumption.
"All of the proposed electrifications
are on principal main lines, where
the greatest density of freight or
passenger traffic occurs,” the com
mission said.
The majority selected are Eastern
roads and coal carriers, the commis
sion added, but electric-powering was
judged feasible for others because of
•'co-ordinated operations with existing
sections” and the steep grades and
tunnels encountered.
The commission's report on “use of
electric power in transportation,” part
of its national power survey, showed
that "up to 1935 there had been a
' total of 2,768 route miles for 6,441
track-miles) electrified on 29 steam
railroads and that these 29 railroads
used for traction purposes nearly 1,
BOO,000,000 kilowatt-hours of electric
energy in 1934."
