A Singular Case,

singular case has just been decided in Germany after occupying nearly a year in trial. When Prince Bismarck died, two Hamburg photographers bribed watcher in the room to allow them to take a fash-light picture of the dead chancellor They tried to sell the photograph. but the Bismarck family interfered. The photograph itself furnished the evidence which convicted the persons concerned. The men who took the picture did not notice clock on the wall, which was reproduced in the photograph, and re- corded the exact moment when the view was taken. It was known who was on watch at that moment, and the faithless watcher gave the names of the photographers. The pictures have been suppressed and the photographers sentenced to jail.
