POLICE GUARD NINE. STElNHfIL,
Authorities Take Precautions Against
Hostile Demonstrations.

Paris, Dec. 1.-THE investigation of
the Steinheil case did not make any
great advance yesterday. NJ. Andre,
the examining magistrate, heard only
a few secondary witnesses. The most
important results. however. are ex-
pected from a lengthy examination Of
Nine. Steinheil. which has been fixed
for to-day and Wednesday,, and the
magistrate will decide from the evil
dence whether the reconstruction
Of the crime in the presence of Nine.
Steinheil will be necessary.
Extraordinary precautions are be-
ing taken in view of a possible hostile
demonstration to-day. Nine. Steinheil
will be brought to the court at an ear
ly hOur and she will be kept hence
forth in the historic Conciergerie.
1t was announced last night that
Nine. Steinheil's counsel, M. Aubin,
will retire from the case. The reason
given for this is that he tool up the
case prior to the criminal Indictment,
but that he now prefers to turn it
over to a special assize court advo-
cate, as he is not versed in that class
of work.
