BERLIN, Dec. SO.-The sui
eide OF Count Percival Douglas
was as dramtic as any of the
many tragedies enacte din Ger
many during the Christmas sea-
son.
Count Percival was a descend
ant of the ancient Scottish FAM
lily. Formerly he was one of the
wealthiest men in Berlin and
owned large estates in east Prus-
sia. He formed an unfortunate
attachment for young woman
for whom he sacrificed his posi-
tion in society and much of his
fortune.
Determined at last to end his
infatuation for her, Count Per-
civai married the young woman's
sister.
The countess soon learned her
husbands affections did not be-
long to her, sued for divorce and
was granted it Count Perciva1
quickly dissipated what was left
Of his fortune. Finally he was
forced to live in poor lodgings.
Christmas eve the count retired
to his bed and swallowed cya-
nide of potassium. He did not
take enough of the deadly drug
to kill himself instantly and
died only after IL hours of ter
rible suffering.
Count Percivars suicide has
stirred society to its foundations.
The edtails of it, which became
known today, throw glaring
light on one of the most vicious
sides of Berlin life.

Juror Questions Witness

Juror George Trickman asked per-
mission to ask the witness a question.
He wanted to know where an aisle in
the sanatorium building had its exit
or entrance on the porch. He desired
to be sure as to where Edmunds saw
Doctor Burke in the aisle. The wit
ness said he saw Doctor Burke coming
toward the closed door that opened
on the north of the porch. He ex-
planned, with the aid of the chart, the
location of the doors.
Asked why his evidence regarding
Doctor Burke's being nervous a short
time before the explosion differed from
that given before the grand jury, when
he then said Doctor Burke was cool
He explained that when Doctor Burke
was nervous he did not display as
much agitation as other people, but
took it more quietly.
Miss Ada Clark was the next witness
and she corroborated Earl Edmunds'
testimony as being with him in the
diet kitchen at the time of the explo-
sion. She said she also saw Doctor
Burke and Jean Maxwell, the night
watchman. short time before the ex-
plosion.
She said she saw Doctor Burke at
the tent after the explosion and he re-
marked that Lu Smith had blown her
self UP and that she might have had
the dynamite for two years
Miss Clark testified as to her having
seen a note written by Doctor Burke
to Lu Smith, in which the doctor said
in substance:
