TEN YEARS TO REFLECT.
Berlin's Crooked Banker Gets q
Long Sentence.

Long Sentence.
BERLIN, Aug. 12.-Herr Wolff, the
defaulting banker, was today sentenced
to ten years imprisonment at hard
labor. Herr Dittemann, also default
ing banker, received the same sentence,
The firm of Hirschfeld & Wolff,
of which Wolff was the manag-
ing partner, had been in business for
siXty-fOur years. and Herr Wolff occu-
pied other positions of trust. He was a
prominent society man, and lived life
of ostentatious wealth. He did little in
the speculative line until recently,
when his private eXtravagances and
losses at the gaming table led
to his embarrassment. He tried to
recoup his losses through dealings in
Paris and Berlin bourses. AS matter
of fact the firm had been insolvent since
1873. For number of years Wolff has
been living by selling and pawning the
securities of depositors, working in
connection with Banker Joseph
Leipzer. 1t was asserted that
Wolff, with all the facts known
to LeipZger, pawned securities of de-
post amounting to 3,500,000 marks.
LeipZger finally went to the wall and
his failure fastened the downfall of
dlrSchneld ana WOlH. Among the
numerous artistocratic creditors of the
firm are Prince Henry of Prussia. who
loses 100000 marks; Prince Gunther of
Schleswig Holstein, brother of the
the empress of Germany. whose loss
also amounts to 100000 marks. Others
are Count ZeidhtZ. Count Bredow, Tel
stager Godsmit and Count Gutenberg,
of the imperial household, now premier,
and Count Lehnderoff, chief of the
royal stables. A large number of in
dustrial companies lose their deposits.
On the Sunday before his arrest
Wolff had party in his box at
the opera house. After the perform
ance the party visited DressePs rest
aurant, where a costly supper was
given. The bill for this supper is still
unpaid. Wolff was president of the
Resource club. an organization COM
posed OF wealthy parvenus and finan-
ciers, who are addicted to reckless play
ing. 1t is recorded that upon the even
ing of the failure OF the firm Wolff
refused to pick up couple of thousand
marks in bills which he had accident
ally dropped at the gaming table. He
left the money on the floor for the wait

THEY TOOK srRYCHNINE,
A Mystery Concerning Two Girls
of Nebraska,

PARAMOUNT, Neb., Aug. 12.-1t now
appears that Misses Bertha and Lizzie
Shuitz, who fell from a buggy Wednes-
day last, were not killed by the fall, but
committed suicide. The matter is being
slowly sifted and developments are
being made. County Attorney Sloan
came here from Geneva and began a
quiet investigation. He visited every
drug store in town, but each proprietor
empiiaticatly denied having sold the
girls poison. He then began a search
of the druggists registers. On one page
of the register was found the following
entry: Bertha ShultZ for H. ST.
strychnine, s ounce-rats and mice.n
The bottle containing the poison was
found i'll the Shultz yard. The label
was scratched off. Physicians estimate
that the bottle contained enough poison
to kill 120 men. An effort will now be
made to find some cause for suicide.
