A MURDER IN BERLIN.

A murder of an unusually brutal character has
been committed in Berlin. The victim, Herr Kreiss,
a tradesman of means, who is said to have been some-
what eccentric, lived alone upon his business pro-
mises, in the south-east of the city. On Sunday
morning two of his men sought admittance to the
house between eight and nine o'clock, but the bell was
not answered. An entrance was effected by a window,
and the first sign that something wrong had happened
was seen in the excited rushing to and fro of the
deceased's dog. The bed had not been used, and the
remains of supper were upon a table. Kreiss was
found dead in the office, his body lying in a pool of
blood. A rope wa3 round his neck and his forehead ,
bore a deep. wound, evidently caused by a hammer or
some heavy instrument. Near the body was a broken
lamp, which seems to indicate that a struggle had
taken place. The deceased's watch and ..hain had
been torn from his waistcoat, and the money-box had
been broken open and emptied of 900 m. The mar 1
derer had evidently secreted himself until the street-''
door badmen locked, and the dwelling, which is cut,.
'off from other houses, contained only his victim and
himself.
