of Judge Smith in department one Of
the superior court discharging the

the district attorney and of the court
merely inconsiderate, were it possible to-
do so. Is the jury a mere nominal an
pendage OF the court? Is it to be wiped
out whenever its action does not please
the district attorney? Who has set the
district attorney up as censor over the
Jury? What would become OF the
district attorney if the jury should
retaliate upon him? Under what pro-,
vision Of law did the court discharge
the juror? Is not the panel thereby in

BERLIN, Feb. Professor Koch, vino

well reception to his laboratory assis-

probably be absent from Berlin about
three months. He explains that he
only partially disclosed the method of

he desired to stop the rush of doctors to
Berlin. If he had described the method
of manufacture more fully, he says he
would have been more worried about
the details. Great discomfort prevails

"A Political Art.


MADRID, Jan. 12.-From information

Selverstoff. 1t is also said that he is
really Padlewski.

exactly answer the the description OF the
murderer given out by the French detec-
tives. 1t is also asserted that the man
arrested admits he commit Jed the mur-
der, adding that it was for a political
object" He failed in his plan to embark
for the United States at Barcelona
owing to the passport regulations being
so strictly enforced at that port. Con-
seaucntlv the prisoner says he returned
to Oleot because he thought he would be
safe there owing to the absence OF rail
way communication with that town.
Padewski declares the killing OF Gen.
Scivcrstaii was not crime-"not a
criminal murder" but political act. y
| He claims he was betrayed to the police
by the custom officer, who represented
himself, as being member of the secret
society. The prisoner is perfectly calm
