proving his entire ignorance OF the
charge OF treason and has now sent In

some reason or other the authorities
are contesting this claim. In the mean.

awaited developments. In couple Of
days the local papers came to hand, and
when he read them he nearly had n
fit. They had at once adopted the
theory that he died from the results

sime OF his past career to support the
hypothesis. They also intImated that

Johann Orth next bought In 1891 q nne
ship In Liverpool, which he renamed
