Special Cable Despatch 10 TIE sun.
BArRxurH. Oct s.-Andreas Dippold, q
teacher, was found guilty here to-day OF
granddaughter In having caused the death
by ill-treatment Of boy who had been
Entrusted to his care. Robert Koch, presi-
dent OF the Deutsche Bank, placed his two
SONS, Il and II years old, in care Of Dippold
during the summer. while Herr Koch and
his wife were in Paris.
Dippold treated the boys with the great
est brutality, tying them by their hands
and feet to the bed at night and otherwise
matreating them. The elder boy ultimately
died from misusage. The prisoner was
sentenced to eight years penal servtude
and ten years deprivation Of his civil rights.
Medical experts who examined him
testified that he was zane. but was moral
degenerate. They said that he was afflicted
with a mania for blood which could only
be satisfied by INJECTING torture.
The mildness OF the sentence, which was
apparently the heaviest that could be de-
manded. excited the spectators to fury
Men and women roee from their seats and
cursed and threatened the prisoner.
The little boy, Joachim. said Dippold had
told them that their parents believed they
should be thrashed The tragic picture Of
the boys, believing themselves abandoned
by their parents to the flendish malignities
Of Dippold, moved almost everybody to
tears. The parents, who were present,
covered their faces and sobbed.

Charges. but He Says It Was Voluntary.
WASHINGTON, o. G.. Oct. 9.-It WAS an
noulced to-day at the Treasury Depart
ment that Henry A. Castle, Auditor for the
Post Office Department. had rendered his
resignation to Secretary Of the Treasury
Shaw. and that 1t had been immediately
accepted.
Mr.. Castle has been Auditor for the Post
ONCE Department since 1897. lie said to-
day that he had intended to resign early
last April and return to his home in St.
Paul to live. He announced his decise n
to Secretary Shaw at the time, but was
dissuaded from putting 1t into immediate
effect, owing to the unsettled condition
Of affairs at the Post Office Department
growing out of the investigation Of postal
scandals Now the investigation is ended,
he says there is no reason why he should
remain in his position any longer.
Officials here, while reluctant to express
an opinion regarding the reasons for Audi
tor Castles retirement at this time, believe
TINT his resignation Is direct result OF
his connection with the now famous 'Tul-
loch charges" These charges did not
make allegations Of fraud or wrongdoing
against the Auditor, but asserted that he
was Careless neSleCful and incompe ent
in passing q number OF illegal vouchers,
and that he exceeded his authority on many
occasions.
Audi or Castle denies absolutely that
his resignation wes asked for.

PRICELESS PLATES ron -.
Souvenirs Of British Banquet Net limited
to Invited Guests.


BtsroN. Oct. "a lot Of Boston people
are deeply STIRRED because Of the pubhca-
ton of an advert isement by the firm that
furnished the souvenir plates for tho
A, olents' banquet on last Monday evening.
in which the public WAS informed that a
limited number Of tho pieces Of china could
be purchased at u each.
The men who attended the feast were
very careful to get their plates home safely,
but they did not dream the highly colored
ware that they were obliged to sign a re-
ceipt for would be so common that the
public could step in and buy at such low
figure.
Most OF the people who were at the dinner
believed they were eating something that
their children and children's children
could display proudly In the years to come
and boast that their al ossicr rartook OF
the $4,000 feast.
The Ancients who are still in Boston
say that the plates were painted especially
for the big banquet, and they do not think
1t right that they should be offered for
sale. Yet the verisement reads that
permission has been given to dispose Of
the plates held in reserve at the factory.
Members Of the organization that gave
the spread want to know who gave the
permit, and why. The advertisement
says:
THE supply is limited. and no moro will
ever be made, 30 that in Q short time their
value will be priceless.
The Anoients now here say that they
thought they were getting . priceless
souvenir when they carried their plates
home from the banquet. and they do not
understand how the plates can be held in
reserve a. the factory whom the firm that
made them advertisee that delivery will
be made probably within sixty days."
