ercept the reading OF the documents reid
rive to the ecclesiastical policy OF the gov
ernmept which includes the papers OF the
first class mentioned in the indictment.
Herr Mankle, of counsel for the defense,
notified the court that he had enter ca d
protest denying the competency VI this
tribunal to try tho case.
The prosecution then read the indictment
It accused the Count of dereliction 10 his
official duty: describes his age, occupation.
etc. until his recall from Paris; aud saws
that when Prince HobenlOhe succeeded to
the embassy at PARIS he found, after sfrlot
search, large number Of documents were
missine from its archives. These docu-
ments the Indictment divides into three
catepories: |. Those which Count Won
Arnim confesses having distracted and
afterwards restored q Those which the
Count acknowledged having taken, bat
which. regarding as his private property,
he refuses to restore. 3. Those which he
processes to have no knowledge OF.
The indictment proceeds to prove the
official character OF all the documents,
states that they were partly COmnunloA-
tons from the German Foreign office to its
representatives abroad, and partly the re-
.ports of the representatives OF the Foreign
,.ftice. + oh document. original draft n
which il in possession Of the Foreign office,

ister. Sumo of the Documents contain addi-
tons of q personal. social and confidential

not in question. Count Won Arnim kept
three journals IT correspondence sent and
recl ived, in accordance with the regulations
OF he service. but during the laht mont h
OF hi, stay at Paris he secretly kept d jour
mel with few entry numbers.

ments which we're not entered never reached
tue archives, and that the greater part OF
missing documents were not entered Then
follows an enumeration OF the documen at
the first class and copies Of correspondence
of the Foreign Office with Count Won Ar
MIN which resulted in their r. stOrati"n.
The indictment reiutes the idea that the
Count took these documents merely for tle
purpose of restoring them to the Foreign
Office. The indictment also enumerates
documents of second class, among which is
a dispatch dated November 8. 1872, asking
the Count to explain conversation III which.
