Testimony i'm the Won Armim Tria

/ Testimony i'm the Won Arnim Trial.
LONDON. December 15.-Thc Times
! Berlin special says, Baron Holstcin teSti=
| fled in the Won Arnim trial yesterday
/ that in consequence of being informed
| by Jandsburg that Won Arnim mistaken
| " attributed To Bismarck the intention of
/ going to war with France on account of
| the pastoral letters of the French bish &.
! ops. he wrote TO friend in Berlin to
inform Bismarck that the ambassador in
| Paris was becoming nervous. Addition
al dispatches between Bismarck and Won
Arnim are published. Among the most
| important is one from Won Arnim stat
! ing that the German government should
not discourage the hopes Of the Bonapart-
lists, rs they were the on y party which
| did not proclaim the necessity OF war
of revenge To this Bismarck replies,
! there iS no occasion tn encourage any
! faction while Theirs faithfully fulltls the
treaty stipulations. Another dispatch
! from Bismarck informs Won Arnm that
! he is mistaken if he thinks Germany de-
sires Italy and France to quarrel, AS in
that event Germany would be dragged IN
to support Italy.
! In the Won Arnim trial to-day, addi-
tional arguments for the defence, were
made by Herren. Dackhorn and Munkcl
| The former maintained that even if the
documents which appeared in the Vienna
papers, were published by Won Arnlm,
he could not be legally held TO account
therefor. The papers were exclusively
his private property, and had been drawn
up for his own use. No national motive
could be- imagined for these proceedings,
| as the Foreign Office possessed duplicates
} of all the documents alleged TO be detain-
/ ed. The accused could retain the dccu-
ments until the Foreign Office proved its
/ claim to them. In the civil action there
was no evidence that further publication
was intended.
Herr Munklc intimated that the Judges
were wanting in this case in their usua!
impartialitv towards the accused. lie
/ thought they unconsclously yielded TO
influence the proceedings from
u high quarter. The Insin-
uation was repelIed by the Court. The
counsel for the dcfcn-" having closed, the
prisoner was permitted 10 speak. He
said that the documents relating 10 his
conflict with Prince Bismarck were a
grave in which was buried the 'riend-
ship Of his youth. Nothing could show
that be had, at any time, acted IN oppo-
sition TO his instructions. He could
swear that he bad committed no Illegal
act. Judgment in the case will probably
be rendered on Saturday.
