PLEADS JUSTIFICATION.
The Assassin of Hoshi Toru on Trial
in Japan.

Yokohama, Sept. 1S.-The trial of
Eba Sotaro, assassin of Mr.. Hoshi
Toru, former minister to Washington,
is now in progress and absorbs public
attention. The high social and moral
station of the prisoner, his extraor-
dinary, cool, collected and sane de-
meanor made his statement when un-
der examination an event of great
dramatic interest. He gives intense
moral indignation at political corrup-
tion as the sole motive for his deed.
Under this impulse he was acting
strictly in accordance with old JAP
anese idea of the duty of a Samurai.
Intense popular sympathy is aroused
in behalf of the assassin and the gov
ernment is therefore in an embar-
assing position. To execute capital
punishment upon shim would cause
storm of public indignation, while to
condone his crime would give rise to
a spirit of emulation of his deed.
Judgment will be given in few days
and it is generally believed that life
Imprisonment will be the sentence.
