MATION'S COUNSEL ASKS
FOR SANITY REPORT
(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH"}
London, July 16.
His Majesty the King is unmoved by the apparent attempt on his life during the procession of the Guards this afternoon, and his only comment upon the whole affair, which has so profoundly stirred the Empire, was a terse estimate of the man responsible. "The damn fool," His Majesty said, without heat.
It is believed, however, that the incident will lead to a general tightening of police precautions for the King's safety: It is recalled that as Prince of Wales the King disliked constant shadowing by plainclothes officers and often evaded them.
Meanwhile, George Mahon, the man who dropped a revolver as the King rode past him at the head of his Guards, has been arraigned at Bow Street before Sir Rollo Campbell. He denied any intention or desire of injuring the King. He merely acted as he did by way of "protest," he said, but did not clucidate further.
It is learned that last April, giving] The name of MeMahun. this man un- successfully sued Mrs. Violet Vandere- Ist, anti-capital punishment crusader, for £67 10%, allegedly due him for nu- tomobile rental. He was denied per mission to appeal and exclaimed "That is not justice! Whereupon the court--forced-im-to-apologise
