/ GERMAN SENSATION.
AN OFFICER OF THE IMPERIAL
COURT ARRESTED.
Count Won Kotz Accused of Sending
Scurrilous Letters to Members OF
the Aristocracy-- HIS SAN
ity Questioned.

BERLIN, June 22.-The Cologne Ga.
zette has caused q sensation by announc'
ing today that Count Won Kotz, one oi
the masters of ceremonies of the impe-
rial court, was arrested Sunday last on
a most extraordinary charge. The arrest
of Count Won Kotz is the result of four
years patient police invest igation. Dur
ing all that period members of the high
est aristocracy of Germany have been in
receipt OF anonymous letters end postal
cards. These missives, in most in-
stances were used by the anony nous
writer to make the most indecent per-
sonal accusations, and were either
against the persons to whom they were
addressed or against their intimate
friends or relatives. Husbands were led
to suspect their wives, fathers learned TO
doubt their sons, daughters began to
look with suspicion upon their mothers,
lifelong friends were separated, and. in
brief, irreparable wrong was done in q
great number of noble families. In q
number of cases the persons who re-
ceived those scandalous communications
placed them in the hands of the police.
On Sunday last Count Won Kotz, upon
returning from visit to Schrsi bersha n i,
Prussia, was arrested in this city by
General Won Hahnke, chief of the en-
peror's military cabinet and aide de
camp to his majesty. charged with be-
ing the author of these long series of
anonymous ISLANDERS.
Shortly after the arrest, upon the
suggestion of General Won Hahnke. who
personally examined the prisoner,
physicians were sent for in order that
Won Kotz's mental condition might be
determined. 1t was shown that the
prisoners father died in an insane
asylum and the examining physican's e
opinion was that the son was the victim
OF mania. The inquiry is proceeding.
The Local Anzeiger says the prisoner
protests his innocence in spite of the
overwhelming proof against him. 1t ia
thought possible the case will not come
before the law courts, owing to the gem
eral belief that the master OF ceremonies
is insane.
Van Kotz was formerly a captain in q
UhlAn regiment. He retired from the
army in 1884, but is still member OF
the army reserves. and was very popular
in society.
