THE CHICAGD “TRIBUNE: TRIDAY. JULY 25, 1878 HOEDEL. The First Attempt on the Life of the German Emperor. Trial, Conviction, and Sentence of the Wonld-Be Assassin. Dispch 1o London Times, Brnray, July 10.—This morning the trial of Emil Hetnrich Max Hocdel, the journeyman tin smith who sttempted the lifoof the German Emperor on the 11th of May last, cams on be- fore the iligh Courtof Btate. O! the large crowd assembied in frontof the Kammergericht, but tew found it possible to penctrate futo the ‘all, the spaca sct apart for strangers barely ac- commodating fitty persons, Hoedel, who ar- rived in a prison van, esconrted by mounted potice, displuyed his usual uuconcern. There was AX INSOLENT SMILE on hils 1ps when, with a defant lovk at the audi- ence fighting for sents, he aat down in the duck wliere he will have to ltaten to bis dovm. Herr Witke, Kiug's Coitnsel, the lawyer affictally ap- polnted to conduct the defense, having taken bls seat by the accused, Herr yon Luck, the Public Prosccntor, caused the charge ta be read. Hoedel, It appears from this fmportant docu ment, was born at Lelpsic on the 47th of May, 1530, e has not been in the army, beilog vro- pounced unfit for military service. Asa boy he was flogged by the police of his native city for petty theft. On the 11tk of May last, between 8and 4 o'clock p. m., he took up his statlon on tho pavement of the Berlin atrect called Unter- Seniinden, ond ot m distunce of three paces fired his revolver at the German Emperor, who, §n an open caleche, with hisdaughiter, the Grand Duchess of Baden, was returning from a drive futho park. Hauving missed bis altm, Hoedel run across the road, and, turning round before geaching the trces Acparatiug the maln rond from the lesscr rund, fired a sucond ghot at tlie Ewperor's ‘carringe, The second bullet fallod likewise, Hoedel then rap across the well known avenuc of lime trees, from which the street derfves Its name, and, having fired two more shota at tho persons pursulue him, threw bis revolver away and was arrested. The accused DENIES HAVING FIRED AT TIIB EMPEROR. fie contends that, having been out of work for some time past, destitution made him deter- snine upon saicide. Iis sclecting Linden aa the _#cepe of his exit from the world he accounts for by & wish to scquaint fasbionable peuple with tho miscry of the working classes. There can be no doubt, however, that he dls- charged tho_first shot with Intent o kil the Emperor. From evidenco given by soveral mitnesees it i certain that Hoedel walted for Emperor’a carrioge, concealed by a vellcle which happened to ba standing in the road, that Jic left bis cover ouly at the moment ol the Emperor _driving past, and that at that moment he advanced towards the Emper- or's carriage, and, strotching out his arm and holding his revoiyer strulicht before him, discharged ® shot ntthe Emperor. A slfzht wreath of smoke veing at that noment percept- e behing the Ensperor’s hend, it Is concluded ~that the hullet whizzed just past his Majesty's perion.

Nor are tho (ndications wanting that THR ATICMPT WAS PIREMEDITATED. On the 27th of April Hoedel inquired of a urneyman named Petach at what hour the uperor was {n the habit of driving out. Early In 'X o naked a Journcyman named Krueger whether the Emperor uscd to drive out in an open or closed carriage, On the Uth of May he Imd his curfe takon by = ?‘hntogmnhcr named Iitrich, telling him that ho would soon be o famous_inan, and that thousands of his cards would be sold when a certain pleco of intelll- yence flushed through the world, A few duys fater he saked ono Herr Raliscter, a gentleman tntirely unknown to hlin whom be happoued to meet ng the stiop-window of a guusmith, wheth- w e Phought o revolver of the sort oxhibited ia the window would carry scross the streef. On the dav_of the deed the prisoner told & blind organ-grinder named Schuctzand bls conductor, named.

As members of an excursion party from the Wost were essaying an entrance to the cave in the customary oilcloth suits there was a roman- tic accident. The trip under the fall through the cave, though not really dangerous to any one of nerve. Is often quita apoalling to inex- perienced adventurers. The formation of the cave Is probably familiar to most of your read- ers. The gradual wearing away by tha water at the foot uf the fall of the shaly substratum of the precipice has left tho limestone rock above, from which the water plunges, projecting at least thirty feet out beyond thc base, thus mak- ing a great chamber, over which descends in deep folda of azure the maguificent cur- tain of the contral cataract between the Amecrican and Canadlon shores.
