Of the cars an emporor's toast at Bres-
tau) was resumed today, the public pro-
Becutor announced that he had institut-
I'd proceedings against Baron Won Juet-
Eow on charges Of forgery and fraud.
The latest development in an inter-
esting case is the result of the evidence
taken yesterday, which tended to DEM
onstrate that Baron Won Tausch, the
commissioner of the detective police,
traced the discriminating article to the
foreign Office. 1t was subsequently de-
Veloped that Barn Won Luetzow was the
Ruthor of the assertion that the false yer
Bion came from the foreign office, and
1t was thus proved, Also that Won Luet-
Eow was an agent of the secret police
This led to clash yesterday between
Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein and
Won Tausch. The former declared that
the foreign office, for some time past, and
for good reasons, had refrained from
employing the political police when in
uuiring into the authorship of articles
and the minister for oreign affairs ac-
rused the commissioner of detectives OF
fermenting suspicion against himself.
This caused Won Tausch to ask for the
nS he inf -t,o
fact that he was not in the prisoners
dock but on the witness stand
The conclusion Of he trial is awaited
with great interest, as il is expected to
reveal the doings Of the court clique

Gutenberg, the former minister of the
interior; the latterS cousin, the present
court marshal, and Richthofen. the ex-
chief of police is credited with causing
the downfall Of General Count Won Cap
Tivi, the predecessor Of Prince Hohenlohe

Beiberstein.

sions with Won Tausch but nothing OF
fnterst developed from his evidence.
During the days proceedings there
was a sensation in court. Baron Won
Luefzow stated that when he gave Won
