Won Arnim's Sentence.

New YORK, December ia Berlin
special states that Count Won Arnim has
been sentenced to three months impris-
onmcnt, deducting from the time the
period which he has already spent in
confinement in Jail.
BERLIN, December 20.-In the clos
ing proceedings Of Won ArnimS trial
Yesterday. presiding Judge Herr Reich,
in his summing up, said it was impossi-
bic to impugn Count Won Arnlms good
faith IN his statement relative to the re-
tention of the documents of the second
class, US no positive act was committed,
these documents must be dismissed from
debate. The same remark applies t"
the documents of the third class. The
accused was not to be blamed for the
publication of the item in the Echo. In
Parliament nothing had been
proyed against him IA author of thesrey-
Citations in the Vienna PreSse. Astans-
burg and Hauser refused to testify. Bas-
sart's evidence proved the truth OF
Arnim's denial of the authorship OF the
article in the Spencer Gazette. The
charges of the prisoners want of credl-
bility were therefore untcnable. In re-
gard to the Palilico recall dispatches of
the first-class accused could not be held
to be guilty of cmbczzIcmrnt
but he had committed crimina,
fault, as according to his own admission
he removed them from the embassy at
Paris to Berlin. This, he says, he did
because he thought the documents were
so important that it WAS necessary that
he should deliver them personally to the
foreign office. Nevertheless be remained
in Berlin nearly menth without doing
so. The plea of forgetfulness urged by
the defense cannot be maintained, for
the Count knowingly conveyed the docu-
ments in question to Carlsban. The nc
cused is thus convicted of an oiicnse
against public order, in purpo~ely max
! ing away with thirteen state papers. The
defendant position andthe importance Of
the documents, aggravated the otfense
which, however, was mltigated by their
subsequent restoration. The sentenc" oil
Won Arnim in addition 10 his term OF
imprisonment, requires the payment OF
the costs. The Count Is permitted to re-
tain his official dignities with the title OF
E1cellency. He will 90 to Italy lmme-
diately on the expiration Of his term o!
Imprisonment, for the restoration Of his
| health.
LONDON. December 2l.-A special tc
the DAILY Ne,rs from Berlin states that
both the prosecution and defense have
appealed to KammergeriCt from the SEN
,ence Of Count Won Arnim. The case
will come up in higher court in about
three months.
