The Kenilworth Advertiser. — 1894-06-02 (Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England)

THE KENILWORTH ADVERTISER, SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1894.  Onr dement in London has been notoriously prominent lately, what with Irreneh and Italian Anarchists, and Germans charged with stosstional murders. The trial of Marie Henna= for the murder of Mr. Stephens, whose body was Seined packed in a trunk, takes place at the end of this week, and two Germans, named Seamier, man and wife, employed at a small foreign hotel and restaurant in Shaftesbury Avenue, are in custody for the murder of their employer's wife, who was tied and strangled in her bedroom the other MR. lag. Additional interest in the crime has been  fiNeign  SHAFTZSBURY Avis;Kos Mumma. aroused by the attempted suicide, flight, and subsequent capture of another German, named Schmerfeldt, who persuaded the victim's husband to go out for * walk with him on the fatal evening, and who afterwards—apparently conscience stricken at the part he had taken—left a letter on his table addressed to Mr. Basch, the husband of the murdered woman, giving the address of the two people charged with the crime, and declaring "that the blood ef the wife as not on his hands, but that he had deceived his Mend Basch and was sorry for it."  The eyes of plain people, unaccustomed to the intricacies of company finance, and unfamiliar with the skilful arrangements of figures put forth in prospectuses and balance-sheets and certified by eminent accountants, have been opened considerably during the hearing of the Foster v. Newnes libel suit. Pew of us who are in the habit of calling a spade a spade and not an agricultural implement would be able to follow out the train of financial reasoning which makes it legitimate for a man to drat, commission on profiti which might or might not be received: yet we had the word of a City accountant that that is & ,recognised thing; and we had an exhaustivi account of the way which companies an formed to flout other companies, and how debutture securities are treated as cash, as well as asmerous other matters per Ma. H. F.  plexing to all but accomplished company promoters. The upshot of the whole case was, as we all know, a verdict for the defendant, and yet in the face of that Mr. Foster (who. it may be remarked, has abandoned similar acticsUl against other papers) declares his perfect satisfaction with the verdict on the ground that his personal honour and credit remain unsullied. Verily a case of "And you are right, and I am right, and all of us are right!" as Mr. Gilbert puts it.  For the next fortnight the Agricultural Halt. Islington, will be the scene of the annual Royal Military Tournament, and the picked men of Hsi British army will shew their skill with the weapon* of their various branches, and in gymnastic and other exercises. The main features of the tournament, as usual, include the always attractive .musical ride (which this year is divided betweeh the lit Life Guards and the Royal Scots Greys), Royal Artillery driving and galloping, and displays by a body of non-commissioned officers of the Danish Army Gymnastic School.
