sons hesitate to say that the Judge dlsRraced
the bench by usurpinR the functions Of the
prosecuting attorney In the trial Of Prussian
editors last week. and the newspa pers through
out the empire agree. as rarely before, In sd.
monishlng the Government to act quickly In
response TO public opinion. The popular aRita-
tion has increased In the last three days until
II promises to raise the most important pollt-
ical questions in both Landtsa and Reichstag.
Not only Is q reform OF judicial methods called
for. but the creator freedom OF the press also
from police restraint is DEM and ell as an lmme-

Yesterday the Berlin Association Of Solicit
tors and Kings Counsels sent to the Ministry
Of Justice a memorial Affirming that both

also declares that It will be I'm possible to elicit
the truth in any case II the practices OF dis

Apart from Brause vetter's browbeating and
the hectoring OF all the defendants witnesses
by the Crown Prosecutor. the trial Of the
editors showed a bad side Of the Berlin police.
The prosecution was forced to admit that. at
the meeting at the Friedrichshsin on Jan. 1S,
the police had their agents provocateurs.
