From Berlin Point Of View.

Berlin, Nov. 27.-The Balkan situa-

more disquieting. The Austro- Hum

Servia or Montenegro to disturb the
peace. In the meantime negotiations

Paris, Nov. 27.-The case of Madame

after a day of sensational deyelop-
ments IN the matter Of the murder OF
her husband and her stepmother, Nine

Barring this change of magistrates,
there have been 10 developments since
last night. Madame Steinheil is still
under arrest on, the charge of aiding
and abetting in the murder of her hus-
pand and stepmother
Expert physicians have declared that
Madame Steinheil undoubtedly is suf-
fering from a kind of hysteria peculiar
to & certain class of neurasthenicS,
which manifests itself in the inven-
ton of the widest accusations.
There is in full blast today a cam
paien by the Nationalists and anti

that the authorities have had an inter-
est in smothering the truth concerning
these murders.

dame Steinheil stayed for a week after
the murder of her husband, declared
today that she was an honest and hon
orablc woman. The count said, how
ever, he was convinced Madame Stein
he'll was no longer possessed of her
mental faculties and he characterized
the story that she was at the death of
Felix Faure as a base calumny. On the
contrary he declared there was ample
evidence to prove that she was at that
time i'll in her own home.
George Perry and Denis Cochin, Con-
servative members Of the Chamber of
Deputies, have announced their inten-
tion of interpellatinS the government on
the attitude of the maGistracy in the
Steinheil case. This action is designed
to raise the political side Of the affair
with which the newspapers are becoming
more and more occupied.
Various new theories on the crime have
been advanced since the arrest of Nine.
