UGS TE Ss leased from a German Prison. Berlin, March 4—The military court of the First which began an inquiry yesterday into the sanity of Lieutenant Prince Prosper von Arenburg, who is serv- ing a term of imprisonment for the murder of a native, suspected of be ing a Bricish spy, while commander ofa station. in German Southwest Africa, decided to-day that the prince was mentally irresponsible when he committed the murder, and, there fore, declared his sentence of death and subsequent commutation to fifteen years’ imprisonment to be null. The court listened all day long to the reading of the testimony or which the prince was convicted, deal- ing exclusively with the killing of the native, “Willy” Cain, who was ar rested upon the prince’s suspicion that Cain meant to assassinate him The testimony showed that the prince shot Cain with a revolver as the latter lay bound and caused a soldier to run a bayonet through Cain's heart, the prince himself twisting the bullet wound ia his head, One motive for | ed in the testimony diers formerly under the command was his infatuation fora comely Damara woman, Yokbeth, Cain’s wile, who had rejected his at- tentions. The prince, after the murder, asked Yokbeth to enter his household, and she replied: “And see the murderer of my husbandevery day? No!” The prince sat through the long 5 sitting of the court, apathetically ___listening to the reading of the testi- mony. It is understood that the prince’s family will place him in a private asylum. The case excites the deepest inter est in Germany and a Socialist who heard the decision of the court, said: “That means 10,000 more votes for us.” TRAINS BURIED IN THE SNOW The “Jawbone” Road of Central Montana is Blocked.
