Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 31.-Actlon was

suggestions, adjournment was taken
until that time.
The case now hinges entirely on
the nature Of the instructions Of the
court SO far as further proceedings
are concerned. The prosecution adj
nlits that there has been no corrobo-
rative evidence connecting the de
PENDANT with the killing Of Steunen-
berg directly, but it is basing its
hope of a conviction on the estab-
fishing Of proof of a conspiracy to
kill enemies Of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, alleging that the muir
der Of Steunenberg was an incident
to that conspiracy. If Judge Wood in
his instructions says that 1t is not
necessary for the state to produce in
dependent testimony showing Petit
bones connection with the crime,
there will be no argument.
If, however, the court instructs that
proof of conspiracy in itself is sufR-
cient providing the state has pre-
sented sufficient proof that the de
PENDANT was a member OF the con-
spiracy and that the killing Of steun-
enberg was an incident to 1t, the
case will be argued.
The state has asked that instruc-
tions to this effect be given, basing
its request largely on the instructions
given by Judge Stewart in the case
Of Paul Corcoran, who was convicted
Of conspiracy In connection with the
Occur d'Alene troubles in. 1899. In.
his instructions in the Haywood case,
Judge Wood naid:s
1T makes 40 difference in this case
what crimes have been committed in
Colorado, in the Occur d,Alenes or
elsewhere or who is responsible for
the commission of such crimes IL any
there be; the defendant cannot be con
victed unless the state has established
beyond a reasonable doubt that he Is
guilty Of the crime charged in the in
alctment, to-wit: The killing Of
Frank Steunenberg."

SAYS JUDGE SHOULD GIVE HIM
FOUR MONTHS.
GERMAN LIBEL SUIT
state Attorney Tells q Receiving !
Letter Threatening Him win Death
II Verdict ef Court II Unfavorabls
to Defendant Harden.

Berlin, Dec. 31.-The hearing Of the
Harden-von Moltke libel suit was re.
sumed this morning. at the opening
OF the session the Judge questioned
Count Kuno Won Moltke as to whether
he had resigned from the army as q
result Of the articles published ~
Harden IN Die Zukunft. The count
responded emphatically in the amrm-
alive.
The states attorney, DR.. Isenbeil,
then opened the pleading and demand
ed the imposition Of q sentence Of
four months imprisonment against
Harden. He declared that Harden had
assumed that there existed near the
person Of the emperor q group Of men
who were detrimental to the inter-
ests Of the fatherland, and which he
felt himself called upon to dispense.
Among the members OF this group
were Prince Zu Gutenberg and Kuno
Won Moltke.
Harden attacked these two men,
founding his accusation upon the
mere word Of. a h~ysterical woman,
Mrs. Won Elbe, the former wife Of Won
Moltke, and upon statements made BY
her mother, Mrs. Won Heyden, who
was quite as untrustworthy. Upon
this authority Harden had declared
the men to be possessed Of abnormal
tendencies.
Threatening Letter.
In conclusion, the states attorney
said he had received a letter threat
ening him with death If the verdict
of the court vas unfavorable to Har-
den. He felt obliged to call the atten-
ton to this letter, but he laughed at
the threats.
DR.. Zelle, counsel for Count Won
Moltke, then made q brief address in
which he said Harden had permitted
himself to be persuaded into a re-
gretable act, and pictured Won Moltke
al a nan Of extremely gentle and.
sympathetic nature.
Count Won Moltke then spoke in his
own behalf. He said he had discarded
his army UNIFORM because he did not
want it besmirched. He denied that
any political group or camarilla ex-
listed near the person Of the emperor.
The only group in the encourage OF
his majesty, the count declared, was
the imperial family circle, which was
loved and honored throughout the
land.
Herr Bernstein. attorney for the de-
Tense, argued that Harden had no rea-
son to doubt the word Of Mrs. Won
Elbe, and that he vas impressed by
Won Bismarck's statements
concerning the Libenberger incident
and the testimony of Professor
schweinger regarding Won Moltke. He
protested against imprisonment for
his client. The court then adjourned
until Thursday, when Harden will be
heard in his own defense.
