 pr Karl Liebknecht, the Spartacan leader III Germany was killed durino street lighting on Thursday eyeninp according to Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company. i Several dispatches from The Asso- clated Press correspondents in Berlin filed on Friday up to 3 o'clock in tbn altefnoon and received here this morn Ing, contained no mention of the re- ported death of Dr. Liebknecht.
