DEFENDS FLIGHT
 OF Ex-EMPEROR
Hindenburg Prepares and Publishes Exculpation of
 Wilhelm.

Berlin, March 2O-Aroused by re-
 cent criticisms of former Emperor William regarding his flight from Germany to Holland last fall, Field
 Marshal von Hindenburg has pre-
 pared and published 8, defense of the ex-ru1er's action. After depicting the situation as it existed in November, caused by the weakening of the army, the doubtful reliability of the forces in the field and the brea king out of the revolution at home the field mar shaI writes:
 '5The peaceful return home of the emperor then became impossible. II could only have been carried out through the forceful employment of loyal troops and civil war would have i been added to the hostiIities with the enemy.
 The emperor could have retaken himself to the fighting troops in or der to meet death at their head in a last attack upon the enemy, but the armistice so keenly desired by the people would thereby have been post poned and the lives of many soldiers uselessly sacrificed. The emperor finally, in agreement with his advisers and after a severe mental struggle, decided to leave the country, solely in the hope that he could thereby best serve the Fatherland, save Ger many from further losses, distress and misery, and restore peace and order to her.

While the Japanese delegates do not accept the view that treatment of foreigners and discriminating immigration laws are purely matters of domestic policy. they say they are content to ask from the League only a recognition of the claim of their people now living in foreign countries to equal rights

The coroner finds that the accused and her victim were both morally de- prayed. Dickovisky. met her when she was IS years old and won her affections to such an extent that he eventually caused her to leave her husband. The finding states, +'It was shown that the wife to enable the victim and herself to live together. was given poison on two occasions by the deceased, together with a load ed revolver, for the purpose of kill ing her husband. But although fn- fatuated with the deceased she failed and refused to carry out his designs. Instead she destroyed the poison and returned the revolver to the deceased at his request.
 It is pointed out by the coroner that the records or the Board of Charities show the woman told this story about the poison long time ago and also declared Dickovislxy was the father of her two children. The board started suit against Dick ovisky to force him to support the children and obtain a. decision against him. An appeal was taken to the common pleas court.
 A hearing on this appeal was to be held soon and the coroner finds that the victim had this hearing in mind when he met Mrs. Sachcosizy on March 16 and Invited her to the Al pine hotel. There he urged her to change her testimony when the suit was tried again and to deny her pre- vious story that he had tried to in duoe her to kill her husband
 When the woman refused. .Dicko- vosBy took c revolver from his pocket and pointing 1t at her exclaimed, You die or I die.''' He became so excited that he dropped the revolver and the woman picked it up. She retrea;ted to the coroner of the room. Then Dickovosly arose from the chair. locked the door and advanced toward the woman, demanding that she return the pistol to him.
 The coroners report reads: His locking of the door, his attitude and features as he approached her were such that she said to him, I'll cry out. I'll shoot So alarmed was she fo rl1er personal safety that when he came within five feet of the place where she was standing she pulled the trigger and shot him in the throat and he fell upon the floor and struggled near her she shot again, the bullet striking him behind the left ear
 Under the circumstances I am of the opinion from the evidence taken. farily establishing the above facts, that the woman in the situation shown and in the email room speci-- fled, having no apparent means of es- cape, to protect herself from bodily injury or death, was legally justified in shooting the deceased. I find the deceased came to his death at the time, place and manner shown as a result of being shot to death by Fan nie Sachcosky in defense of her per son from imminent an5i great bodily injury or death"
