Charlotte Won SAKE Meiningen. the eldest
sister Of Emperor William. was brought
into the Harden-von Moltke libel case
today aa the person who had supplied
Maximiiliam Harden with the information
concerning the Euienburg group near
he person OF the emperor upon which
Harden based his campaign against the
so-csiied canariiia.
Harden had two meetings with the prin-
cess. seemingly at her request. Prof
(schwsnlnger. who was present at these In
.erviews gave a brief account OF these in
a deposition.
\ General Count Wilhelm Won Hohenhau
was mentioned at these meetings, but no
reference was made 20 Count Kuno Won
Moltke.
Princess Charlotte and the emperor have
been on cool terms for several years The
late Prtace Bernhard. husband OF the prin-
cess WIS long opposed TO the influence OF
Prince Philip xu Eulsnburg at court. 1t is
apparent that the princess did not forget
this feud, and that she has been instru-
mental In running zu Eulenburg's reputa-
tlon and his consequent loss of favor with
the emperor.
The evidence Of Prof. schwenfngsr. who
was physician to the late Prince Won Bis
marck, was read 10 the court, Ths profes-

against Won Moltke In spite of the cool
ness existing between the court and Mrs.
,schwehlnger Harden. the professor set
forth, mad met the hereditary princess Of
SAKE Mefuingen twice in his presence in
the course OF visits Of Schweneck- On one
) OF these occasions the princess talked about
General Count wilhelni Won Hohenau. and
expressed her sorrow that such degen-
efacy should occur in high circles
Prof. scheningeT deposed that he was
very much astonished when. following the
appearance OF the article in Die Zukunft
the excitement against Harden broke out
He could not understand the reason, as the
articles were not intended TO have per-
sonal, but only a political significance.
Connaante OF Bismnrck.
Pref. EchweninGer. who Is now 81 years
ola. was for twenty-five years a notable
drure in Germany because Of his intimacy
with Prince Ven Bismarck. This began
when schweninker was about 20 years old
The younk man became Bismarck's physi-
clan for his gcut. and this led to conf
Dental ana personal relations, which made
Rchweninger q political parsonage until
the old chancellor died. Since this time
the professor has quietly followed his pro
fessional duties In the University OF Ber-
lin The reappearance Of Schweninger re-
calls to the German public the days when
he was reputed 70 be one of Bismarck 3
most able advisers.
| continuing. Prof Schweninger says he
\considered Mrs. Won Elbe, the divorced
wife Of Count Won Moltke 10 be mentally
sound ana not likely to suffer illusions.
He consequently believed her oringinal as
Sertions. She had related many incidents
OF the counts violence in which he alone
appeared 10 be biameable. The professor
had heard rumors of the perversity OF
Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg even during
the life OF Bismarck. but the name Of
Won Moltke was never mentioned in con-
nectIon with these matters.
Loved Prince More Than wife.
Mrs. Won Elbe told him that her former
husband. Won Moltke. loved zu Eulenburg
more than ne did her.
Continuing, the professor said he had
related to Harden BismarclSs opinion of
Eu Eulenburg. whose tendencies. the
prince considered. UNITED him to act as
confidential adviser to the emperor lie
sould not say whence Bismarck had ac-
auired this knowledge The chancellor
expressed the opinion also that certain
hhperial adjutant. whose name was not
mentioned, had more influence upon the
chancellor himself Bismarck declared in
this connection, according to Prof.
sehweninger. that II the members OF the
Camarina were so foolish as TO permit
their influence to be suspected the Cana
rlila would Immediately cease to exist
Prof schweninEer declared that he
would not have introduced Harden TO Mrs
Won Elbe had he considered the latter "a
be untrustmorthy. Harden's desire. he
said, was TO make the affalr public in the
interests Of the Fatherland, not as per
eonAl affair.
The state then introduced witnesses
whose testimony was intended to discredi'
her testimony.
The count suffered greatly from his
Wifes disposition. but he was patient with
and kind to the countess. no matter what
she did. Mrs Won Denwitx, a former
friend OF Won Eibe. testified, and said
that Mrs. Won Elbe once told her her
daughter was nl-advised.
Baroness. swassen gave testimony to the
! sfset that Mrs. Won EIbe. during her frst
maTTiase with Won Kruse. acted disso-

entire course OF the prooeSdings that he

After this statement Count Kuno Won
