with her clothing before the flames did
much damage TO her person.
She also rescued her children from

result of accidentally turning on gas
while undressing to take a bath
yesterday.
He partially disrobed in a bedroom
and then went to the bathroom. Mem
hers of the family heard him let the
water run into the tub. They paid no
more attention to the bather for nearly
half an hour. Then Mrs. Keulich re-
marked thai he seemed to be very
quiet. She followed by knocking at
the bathroom door. No response came
from within, so she opened the door.
Keulich was unconscious in the bath
tub and the room MAS filled with
gas and the tub with scalding hot
water.
Mrs. Keulich called other members
of the family, and the unconscious
man was removed to another room and
placed on a bed. Meantime messengers
had been sent for physicians. and when
three or four responded the neighbor-
hood was in an uproar.
Keulich was removed to the City
Hospital, and it was said he would re-
cover.
An investigation of the bathroom
showed that Keulich had been acct
dentally overcome. He had removed
his trousers and thrown them over
the gas jet and in doing so had turned
on the gas. The steam arising from
the tub had prevented his smelling
the gas. The bathtub was hardly long
enough to prevent Keulich lying at
full length and this alone prevented
his drowning in the water prepared for
a bath.
Mrs. Keulich's action was opportune,
for had she delayed a few moments
longer asphyxiation would have re-

H
PRINCESS
Old Physician
Testifies at Harden
Libel Hearing.

BERLIN, Dec. 30.-When the court
which is hearing the Harden-von
Moltke libel suit reassembled today
Harden appeared to be very weak
while Count Kuno Won Moltke was ex-
ceedingly cheerful and keenly inter-
ested in the proceedings.
Professor ~Schweninger, who was
physician to the late Princ von Bis
marck, declared that he had no ill
feeling against Won Moltke, in spite
of the GOODNESS existing between the
count and Mrs. Schweninger.
Harden, the professor set forth. had
met the Hereditary Princess of Sake
Meiningen twice in his presence in the
course of visits at Schweneck. On one
of these occasions the princess talked
about General Count Wilhelm Won
Hohenau, and expressed her sorrow
that 'such degeneracy should occur IN
high circles"
Continuing Professor Schweniger
saws he considered Mrs. Won Elbe, the
divorced wife of Count o Moltke, TO
he mentally sound and not likely to
suffer Illusions. He consequently be-
lieved her original assertions. She had
related many incidents of the counts
violence in which he alone appeared
TO b. blamable.
The state then introduced witnesses
whose testimony tended to discredit
Mrs. Won Elbe.
Baroness Swassen gave testimony 20
the effect that Mrs. o Elbe, during
her first marriage with Won Krusc,
acted absolutely; she mentioned va
rious details.
Countess Danckelmann swore to cir
cumstances detrimental to Mrs. Won
Efbe, and to Count Won Moltke's en-
thluslastic admiration Of his flancee dur
ing their engagement.
