FLOWER MEDIUM" CONVICTED.
Eighteen Months Imprisonment for Fraud
at Her seances.

SPECIAL Cable Despdfch 10 THr SUN
BERLIN, March 2s.-Frau Anna Rothe.
the so-called flower medium who has
been on trial for a week on charges Of
swindling, was convicted to-day and sem
fenced to eighteen months imprisonment.
The testimony given during the trial showed
that the woman had swindled many persons
by charging admission fees to her seancee
and then apparently producing oranges
and flowers from the air. a. well as making
tables noat and bringing ghosts to view.
The woman was convicted OF forty-eight
cases OF cheating and twelve cases Of at
tempted cheating The eight months which
she had already spent In Jail will be deducted
from her sentence Of year and Q half.
All the experts who testified agreed that
Frau Rothe was sane. Most Of them char
scterized her 8 anoes as the simple swindles
Of an amateur juggler.
In testifying In her own behalf Frau
Rothe said she acted In good faith and did
what those who paid admission fees ex-
pected her TO do. She said she had acted
under the influence Of the sbsconding i'm
presario Jentsch as Trilby did under the In
fuenoe OF Svengah. She oontended that her
case was one Of genuine spiritualism which
was neither immoral nor irreligious.

REGRET MACDONALD'S FATE.
BRITISH BELIEVE THE GENERAL
WAS HARSHLY TREATED.

Governor OF Ceyion Criticised FOR Giving
Publicity to the Case-"F1ghting Mac"
VINO Rose From the Ranks. Never Popu.
lar with the Society Of the Colony.
Special Cable Dsspoieh TO TIE sun.
LONDON, March 2s.-The sensational end
Of the career Of Sir Hector Macdonald. the
only General In the British Army who had
risen from the ranks, Is received with uni
versal sympathy here and on the Continent
Without prejudging the lamentable affair
which led TO his suicide, 1t Is felt that he
was harshly treated.
The Outlook says the Governor Of Ceylon,
Sir J. West Ridgeway. would have shown
more discretion had he initiated the reserve
c. the local press and confined himself to
the statement that Gen. Macdonald was
doing all that was required Of him In re-
turning to answer the charges before
court-martial.
The Saturday Reviev goes farther. It
says: we cannot refrain from expressing
regret that some way could not be found
whereby he might be permitted to resign
his command, and thus, at least. save his
name from being connected with the pain
full memories which must now forever
attach TO It"
It Is known that Gen. Macdonald disliked
Ceylon, and the society Of the colony re-
ciprocated his feelings. He had succeeded
a commander OF aristocratic connections
and a social entertainer. while Gen Mac
donald had brought no domestic establish
ment. and he had only his army pay to
spend. Thirty years Of his fifty-year life
had been spent in India, Egypt and Africa.
He had fought and been wounded In all
these countries.
1t was In Afghanistan that Lord Roberts.
then Sir Frederick Roberts. offered him his
choice OF the Victoria Cross or an officers
commission. He chose the latter, and In
twenty-eight years, without missing a
grade. he had become q Major-General.
There is no doubt that the British Army
and the British nation have had full value
out OF Hector Macdonald.
PARIS, March 2s.-The body Of Major
Gen. Sir Hector Macdonald was shipped
from here for England tonight. The
Generals son had charge Of 1t.
