bOLO PASHA INSANE,
BROTHER IES1If|ES
Monsignor Makes Impassioned
Plea at Trial of Accused for
Treason.
PARIS. Fen. IL,

PARIS, FER. IL.
When the trial of Bolo Pasha for trea-
son was resumed yesterday his brother,
Monsignor Bolo, prominent as pulpit
orator, took the stand in his behalf. He
asserted nj the outset that he was n pa
triot. first Of all, and was defending his
brother because of the conviction that
he was insane.
Monsignor Bolos testimony was more
in the nature of pleading than a deposi-
tlpn. Tie reviewed the entire case.
Speaking OF the prisoners journeys to
Switzerland, he expressed the opinion
that Bolo Pashas purpose IN going 20 see
the former khedIvc Abbas llIlmi, was
to win him over to the side of the Allies.
The prelatc ridiculed tho idea that a
man SO wise IN the WAYS of the world
and SO cynieally clever as Count Won
Bernstorif, then German ambassador
at Washington, could have mistakcn Bolo
Pasha for an important political per
sonage. The witness scoifed nj the idea
that any Of the references IN Count Won
Bcrnstorff telcgrams Ia Berlin were to
The prisoner.
The spectators in the courtroom, who
have been hostile tn the prisoner through
out the trial, appeared To bc impressed
by the eloquent plea nt his brother, who
drove home point alter point, enpha-
sizing them hy striking the rail OF the
witness stand with his huge fist.
Monslgnor Bolo madc the most OF the
presumption that Hugo Schmidt and
Adolph pavcnstadt, from whom evidence
was obtained in America against Bolo
Pasha. are German spies Pavenstadt

it is probable that the agitation Of

ATTACKS HENEY FOR

packer, in an interview here, assails
Francis ]. Heney, attorney for the fed
eral trade commission, for giving out
interviews.
Almost daily during the past two
weeks there have appeared in the press
interviews with Mr.. Heney in which he
has undertaken to tell what he and the
government intended to do with the
packers" said Armour.
The public was told Saturday that
the government will assume control of
the business of the packers through
receiverships. On other occasions Mr..
Heney has informed the public that
the packers would be prosecuted ciVily
or criminally and on one occasion has
intimated that certain OF them would
be sent to Jail
1 had assumed until I read Mr..
Heney's interview that the question of
civil or criminal prosecutions or TAX
ing charge of the packers business
through receiverships was a matter
that was lodged by law in the depart
ment of Justice.
Under an act OF COM ress the gov
eminent has in effect already assumed
practical control OF the packing bust
ness.
mo greater injury can be done the
packers than to affect their credit by
fomenting public discomfort. If there
is no other way to curb Mr.. Heney,
then the packers must resort to the
only avenue that is left and appeal to
public opinion
