Statistical Inference — range statistic of a shifted uniform family

Let Xi∼fθ(x)={1,θ−12<x<θ+12 0,otherwiseX_i \sim f_\theta(x) = \begin{cases} 1, & \theta - \frac{1}{2} < x < \theta + \frac{1}{2} \ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} such that θ∈(−∞,∞)\theta \in (-\infty, \infty); i=1,2,…,ni = 1, 2, …, n. Consider the following statements: I. The distribution of X(n)−X(1)X_{(n)} - X_{(1)} is independent of θ\theta. II. Eθ[(X(n)−X(1))−E(X(n)−X(1))]=0E_\theta[(X_{(n)} - X_{(1)}) - E(X_{(n)} - X_{(1)})] = 0, for all θ\theta. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
