BERLIN, June S.-Salomon Teilirian,
the Armenian boy who assassinated
Talaat Pasha, former Turkish Grand
yizier. in March to avenge the slaughter
Of his people, was acquitted of murder
to-day in the Berlin District Court.
His defense was that, at the exhorta-
tion Of his mother, revealed TO him in 8
dream, he had shot the man who or
dered the Armenian massacres to carry
out the death sentence passed on him
by the Armenian nation.
The acquittal, which has been de
manded in the Berlin press since the
trial began Thursday, came after DR..
csssirer, a leading German psychietrist
had testified that Teilirian could not
be held responsible for his act. The
horror of seeing his own mothers head
split open with an axe and of having
Witnessed other tragedies had tempo
rarily unbalanced him, the witness said

tsnse in the closing hours of the trial

who was IN Armenia at the time of the
msssscres. These witnesses brought
out thst the total number of Armenians
slaughtered by the Turks reached l.
100000, figure much larger than any
previous estimate of the extent of the
killings.
Million Armenians Massacred
Ut is conservatively estimated" said
Professor Lepsius, chat out of the
i,S5o,ooo Armenians living in Turkey
before the war only $4,000 are left"
Field Marshal von Sanders corrobo-
rated this assertion, but attempted to
Justify the massacres on the ground
that the Armenians had opposed Turk
lsh interests and had openly sym
pathized with the Russians. The wit
ness admitted, however, that Talaat
pasha had been responsible for the
executions. The question was raised
>
niony regarding the extent of Ger
maay's responsibility.
Professor Lepsius testified that Ia
aat issued official orders calling for
the exilirg and killing of the Arnleni
ans, He declared that the German
Ambassador at Constantinople also
placed the number of Armenians killed
at 100000, his estimate having been
reached through reports made to hin,
oy various German consuls.
Exile Order Meant Death
One official order Issued by Talaat

The Armenians were systematically
: led to slaughter as soon as the con-
eentration camps became overcrowded, u
SAID the professor. "They were led
out upon the desert, where they were
declmated in wholesale fashion.
The object of the Turks was not to
Ellie the Armenians, but to slaughter
Shena in cold blood, the scheme being
to Kill of whole people"
Professor Lepsius said that some
10000 Armenians in Constantinople
