EDITOR HARDEN IS CONVICTED
SENTENCED TO FOUR MONTHS
IMPRISONMENT FOR LIBEL.
ING Won MoLTkE.

Berlin, Jan. S. The notorious
Harden-Von Moltke libel suit came to
an end last evening. when the accused
editor of Die Zukunft was sentenced
to four months Imprisonment and to
pay the entire costs of both the pres.
ent and former trial.
Harden was sufficiently recovered
yesterday to appear in court. He
spoke in his own defense. His first
Impressions concerning Prince Philip
Zu Eulenburg and the persons attach.
ed to the princes interests at court
had been gained. lie said, from the
late Prince Bismarck and members Of
his household.
These Impressions have been sup
plemented by conversations with Mrs.
Won Elbe. the divorced wife Of Count
Won Moltke: Prof. Schweninger, who
was Bismarck's physician. and others.
Harden said he assumed full RESPONSE
bility for what he had written. but not
for the Interpretation given by other
people to his articles. II he had in.
tended to write against the private
life of Won Moltke he had had for
many years in his possession material
that he could have used.
In passing sentence the president Of
the court said that all the charges
made by Harden had been utterly dis.
proved during the trial. and that Har.
den could have disproved his charges
himself before publishing his articles.

and finally by the murdered woman's
husband.
Husband is susneeted.
Following searching examination,
during which many incidents Of his
life were laid bare. Theodore s. Whit,
more, the husband, was held by the
police as a suspect. Whitmore, hav.
ing definitely identified his wife, was
vigorously questioned by the authori,
ties. The nature of his testimony de-
termined the police to keep him with.
in the jurisdiction Of the courts.
With touch of emotion that added
to the puzzling features of one of the
strangest crimes with which the pc.
lice have had to deal, Whitmore told
the police Of his struggle to live down
an unpleasant past and how a faith.

of the manner of her death.

Mrs. Schmitter furnished the police
with what is believed to be most i'm.
portant Information. She told of a
series of letters and kilograms, pur.
porting to come from Mrs. Whitmore.
but some of which must have been
written after her death. A trunk be.

PURCHASE OF THE YARMOUTH
TITLE PROVES TO BE A BAD
BARGAIN.
PROCEEDINGS WILL Be SECRET
NATURE OF MEDICAL EVIDENCE
MAKES PUBLIC HEARING IN.
ADVISABLE.

London, Jan. 5.-The failure Of an.
other alliance of the English nobility
with an American woman Of wealth
became public yesterday. when the
Countess Of Yarmouth, who was Alice
Thaw of Pittsburg, daughter of Mrs.
William Thaw and a sister of Harry
X. Thaw. applied to the divorce court
for an annulment of her marriage to
tn. earl of Yarmouth.
The court has ordered that the pro-
ceedings be held in camera. and the
papers are being kept se,:et.
Public Hearing lnadyisable.
The only inkling obtainable Of the
charges preferred is statement to
the effect that the nature of the medi.
lie hearing inadvisable. s..
The Countess of Yarmouth declines
to comment on the case. The Earl of
Yarmouth could not be found in his
usual London haunts last night.
1t has been we'll known for two
years that the domestic affairs of the
Yarmouths were most unhappy. The
earrs companions and his manner Of
living were such that he could not
give his wife the position in society
she had right to expect.
Earl Was Expensive.
She supplied immense sums to de.
fray her husbands extravagances, and
her friends say she has conducted her
self with dignity throughout the trou-
bles resulting from the unhappy mar
riage and her brothers. difficulties.
The Hartford family, the head Of
which is the Earl of Yarmouth's IA
Their, and to the head of which the
earl is heir, he being the eldest son
of the sixth Marquis of Hartford,
is one of the oldest and proudest of
the English nobility. The notorie-

its indirect connection with the Thaw
murder case was CALLING and this eli.
