Verdict Of Military Court in Case Of
 Won Arenberg.
 Berlin. March 1.-The military court of the 1st Guards division, which yesterday began an inquiry Into the sanity of Lieu tenant Prince Prosper von Arenborg, who is serving a term of Imprisonment for murder of a native, suspected of being a British spy, while commander of a sta ton in German Southwest Africa, today decided that the Prince was mentally ir. responsible when he committed the mur- der. and, therefore, declared his sentence of death and subsequent communication to fifteen years Imprisonment to be null.
 The testimony showed that the Prince shot Cain, a native, with a revolver as the latter lay bound and caused a soldier to run a bayonet through Gains heart the Prince himself taking the ramrod and twisting 1t round in the bullet wound which was in the head. The Prince after the murder. asked the wife of Cain to enter his househod and she replied: And see the murderer of my husband every day? No!"
 It is understood the Princes family will place him in a private asylum. The case excites the deepest interest in Germany and a Socialist who heard the decision of the court said: That means 10000 more votes for us."
