Berlin, May 29.-The trial of Herr
Won Tausch, the former chief of the
secret political police, charged with
perjury. treason and forgery. which be:
gan on Monday last and continued
through the week, monopolizes public
attention. The proceedings will last
at least for another week. Though a
number of revelations have been made,
showing the rottenness and moral tur-
pitude of the Berlin secret police, there
is general impression that much in
teresting information has been with
held by Won Tausch and by Baron Won
Luetzow, the chief witness against him,
especially regarding the intrigues OF
! nigh dignitaries to queer a number
of past and present ministers.
The presiding judge repeatedly ex-
pressed Indignation at the network of
corruption and baseness into which the
dispositions Of the defendants threw
light.
Won Luetzow admitted that the
names of well known citizens were
frequently forged to receipts for money
received as compensation for spy serv-
ice.
Won Tausch said the police commits
sioners necessarily had to shield the
criminal acts of their subordinate
agents; otherwise no police commits
sioner could accomplish anything.
The president revealed a number of
damaging incidents against the owners
and editors of Berlin newspapers.
Herr Schweinburg the owner of
Berlin newspaper. was charged with
receiving an annual bride of 10000
marks from the Disconto society.
1t was also excited that Norman
Schumann, who was implicated in the
scandal which resulted in Won Luetzow
being sentenced to 16 months imprison-
ment in December last while writing
scurrillous articles against members of
the present cabinet and the emperor,
was paid by Won Tausch for instituting
m believe inquiries into the author
ship of those articles, and for accusing
innocent persons of writing them.
There was another sensational trial
this week, the prisoners being charged
with reasonable acts in favor OF Rus
STA. committed at Thorn, the most i'm
portant PruSsian fortress on the Rus
sian border. Fahren, a fortification !
and a court official named AL |
brecht, were the principal defendants. |
Several Russian go-betweens fled the |
in time to escape arrest. The |
evidence showed that important mill /
tary secrets, especially regarding the |
nature of the equipment OF the Prus-
sian frontier Qualifications, had been
betrayed.
Fahren was, sentenced to four years
penal servitude and Albrecht to six
months Imprisonment
Most establishment is expressed at
he refusal of the emperor to attend the
gorgeous banquet offered him in con-
lection with the fall maneuvres, by the
,ity of Wiesbaden. AS the sole reason |
or his refusal, his majesty cited the
arge expense and the luxury of a feast
