WILMINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST, 1928.

Kharery OutWitfed.--We copy from German
paper the following fact, which occurred lately at
Warsaw. Jew, the proprietor OF an hotel in that
city, was intTused with casket containing valuable
property 10 the amount of 5o,000t. belonging to an
Engishman, who gave it to his host for greater
security. When the Englisbman asked for his
property, the Jew positively denied having received
any such thing. In despair, the Engshman pro.
ceeded 10 the Archduke Constantine, who summo-
ned the hoel-keeper before him. This Prince
used the utmost efforts to induce the Jew to surren
der the casket, but in vain. Pardon was even
offered, but to no purpose the Jew persisted in the
denial. His Imperial Highness then turned the
conversation to some other subject, and, after some
minutes, drew out his watch, and, looking at it,
said: "l believe ii is not right let me what II
Is O'Clock by yours Then seeming to take a
fancy TO it, the Grand Duke asked the Jew to ex-
change watches, to which the Jew unsuspicious of
any design, readily consented. The Prince then
withdrew into his cabinet, and despatched rusty
messenger with the exchanged watch to the hotel,
desiring him to tell the audlady, the part OF her
husband, to send the casket Immediately, as be
wanted 1t much in order to arrange some business
with the Grand Duke. The landlady, OH seeing
her husbands watch, suspected nothing, and In
stanty gave it to the Dukes valet. The Grand
Duke. when he had received the casket, offered full
pardon to the rascal. provided he would admit his
having received it but the Jew denied all know
ledge of the casket, and even swore to the truth OF
his denial. He was then, by order OF the Prince
handed over to the Military Tribunal, who senten-
ced him to be shot by twenty Jews. The latter
however, executed the sentence badly, that the
culprit suffered excruciating agony for two hours
