I'm NO ANGEL" IS
PRINCPSTFSTIMONY
Zu Gutenberg Replies to Court
Questions in Weak and
Shaky Voice

BERLIN, July 16.-Beginning with
today the presiding judge allowed one
newspaper reporter to be present at
the zu Gutenberg trial to supply such
accounts of the testimony as are not
inconsistent with public morality.
The prince, in a weak and shaky
voice, replied to questions put to him
by the court.
How do you explain Ernst's testi-
mony concerning your conduct with
him?" inquired the judge.
Ernst is for me psychological
puzzle answered the prince.
II know there are bad men, COM
mented the judge, but in this case you
would have it appear that you are an
angel and Ernst devil"
Il certainly am no angel" replied zu
Gutenberg. and l have many weak
nesses. Ny best qualities have been
expressed. 1 think. by enthusiastic
friendships and generous acts, but
unfortunately even these qualities are
twisted by the world into meanness
and filth. The advice of the day is to
be egotistic to the very bones"
Pressed for an explanation of his
meaning in the letter he had written
to Ernst, the prince exclaimed:
MY dou, MY 1Ou' NdS III
then than l am today"
When asked to explain the rapid
promotion of Herr Kistler, a court
councillor to whom the prince was un-
usually friendly, the prince related
at length Kistler's services as his pri-
vate secretary, his fitness for letter
writing and his ability in indexing
documents. Continuing the prince ex-
planned the letter he wrote to the
emperor in 1888 in the interest of
Kistler as an expression OF his wish
to see Kistler taken care of on his
(the prince's) death. Kistler's future
lay near to him. he said, and as the
prince felt his relations to the en-
peror might be regarded as justifying
1t to Kistler to be used in the event
of his death.
LETTER SEIZED IN HOUSE
This letter was produced in court,
having been seized in Kistler's house
by the police when they searched the
premises. 1t was ornamented with FIVE
seals and indorsed My last request"
The letter is addressed to his majesty
the German emperor, and in exag-
gerated language the writer commend
ed Kistler TO the imperial favor In
conclusion the prince said:
My last breath is a greeting to your
majesty"
After the princes explanation of the
Kistler letter his breath became short
and quick and he grew so weak that
the doctors recommended an adjourn
ment. This was taken and the proceed
ings of the day were over.

drive John out of Oroville on the
ground that he was habitually drunk
and crazy.
Several of the letters and papers
found in the Chico room which Peter
Claudianes occupied contained refer
ences to mysterious person known a S
the Greek" and there were mentions
of large sums of money which had
somehow come into his possession. A
bill for SIG from the Golden Eagle ho-
tel was found made out to H. John
son and P. Claud. The latter is un-
doubtedly meant for Peter Claudianes.
as the alias Claud was the one first
used by his brother, John, and it is
significant that H. Johnson is the name
given to the police by one of the four
hired thugs who were recently arrested
for trailing Special Agent Burns while
he was working on the Gallagher cases.
Another letter was found from Charles
S. Peery the attorney who defended
the men who trailed Burns, but this
letter contains nothing of an incrim-
mating nature, relating only to fra
ternal maTtcrs.
COMPARISON OF WRITING
Comparisons were made yesterday of
the handwriting on the letter written
by John Claudianes to his brother,
which was picked up by Jimmie Nc
Grath, a newsbey, and led to Johns ar
rest, and the handwriting of the va
rious notes received by Managing Edi-
tor Fremont Older of the Bulletin.

an offer of reward in the dynamiting
cases was withdrawn from the Bulle-
tin. There are many strong points of
resemblance between the John Claudi-
anes letter and some of those received
by Older, but 1t has not been estab-
lished that the author was the same.
John Ciauidanes did not leave the
city prison yesterday Langden and
Burns and the members of the detec-
tive department who are working with
them spent a busy day running down
clews and he held several long confer
ences at police headquarters, but no
new arrests were made.

PAPER FOR VARIOUS ROOMS.
Wall Decorations to Add to the cozi-
ness Of the Home.

Light but not bright should be the
guiding note when selecting the papers
with which to decorate the walls OF
your home.
Where there is light there Is always
a cheerfulness which nothing else can
produce, but brightness of colors soon
er or later will affect the nerves.
Where the rooms are small small
figured paper should be chosen. as this
will make the rooms appear larger,
and vice versa with the rooms which
appear too large.
Here are few suggestions: For the
yestibule, Il grove-like effect; for the
nails. plain felt paper or tapestry de-
sign; for the bedrooms. a lowered de-
sign. with lighter or Il darker body ac-
cording to the amount of light ad-
mittCd to a room.
For the parlor a quite decorative de-
sign. chosen with judgment to match
furniture; for sitting room and dining
room. arbor Or orchard effects are ef-
fective and becoming; bathroom. kitch-
en- and laundry are best painted.
One paper should not be placed over
another. as disease germs breed there
easily. and the thickness causes the
paper to fall from the walls.

A little fine minced parsley is now

while around the edge of the platter
are ranged slices OF boiled beets.
