 After forty-five days of exile Count Edmund Heinecke von Larisch, mem Der of one of the noblest German fam flies and related to the reigning sov- erigns of three countries, Is going back to his native country. On May 22 he will leave his bench as watch repairer in this city and resume his noble station. He will also inherit his fathers estate in Germany.
 On June IA, 1901, the sentence of forty-f1ye years of exile which Ger man military court pronounced against him for the killing of fellow-off1cer will have expired, and on that day Count Larisch will walk into Berlin a free man.
 At present he is working In his little jewelry store, No. II East Houston street, supporting himself and his fam fly mending watches. On the day he returns to his native country he will not only take possession of his estates, but he will receive from the Bank of England a draft for almost million pounds, being the capital and accu- mulated interest of a sum of money a relative left him.
 The count was born February 8, 1884, in Castle Dernbach, Thuringia. He was the son of Count William Charles 1von Larisch and his beautiful wife, Countess .Antoinette von Hef- necke, who later inherited large es- tates and rich copper mines on the borders of Silesia.

 On the evening of June IS, 1856, a group of the officers of the regiment were III d Cdlo WuSu MAUI Noh Ohiee' made a remark about the girl they were both counting and who had shown preference for Vo. Larisch. Friends restrained the young officer from resenting the remark at the time, but the next day MaJor von Ponita took occasion to reprimand the young officer so frequently during the drill that the latter finally lost his self control and threw his glove in the majors face.
 Von Ponita rushed at Larisch with drawn sword and before the young man could defend himself had stabbed him in the forehead. He next made a pass for his throat, but the weapon pierced his cheek. Then Won Larisch ran him through the heart.
 Won Ponita fell from his horse dead, and in the tumult which followed Von Larisch dashed away, thus escaping arrest .
 He escaped to France, and in the autumn of 1856, under the name of Edmund Heinecke, sailed from Calais for New Orleans.
 He arrived there almost penniless and without even the knowledge of a useful trade. In order to save himself
