a despatch from Basle.
The former was shot by his escort,
while trying to escape, as he was be-
ing taken from his home to military
headquarters.
The woman was beaten into insensi-
bility by mob and then drowned In
the Landwehr Canal.
An earlier Berlin despatch, by way
Of Amsterdam, said Liebknecht stab
bed guard and made break for lib-
erty while being taken to Jail. ~
The automobile in which the Spar
tacan leader was en- route to Jail
broke down. The escort proceeded
on foot.
Liebknecht stabbed one of the
guards with knife he had concealed
and ran. Soldiers in the escort fired
at him.

Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg.
The government is expected to take
violent measures in an effort to sup
press the new disorders.
