" UNDER STRESS OF EXCITEMENT"
WHY A BURGLARY WAS COMMITTED. In September last a burglary was committed in a large villa at Zurich, and was so cleverly performed that the police could not trace the author, who escaped with shares, jewels, and money valued at over £1000. A well-known firm of solicitors at Stuttgart returned all the stolen goods last month to the Judge of the Zurich Tribunal^ and stated in a letter that under professional secrecy tliey could not give the name of tlieir client, who was a wealthy man. and who became a burglar like Rallies — "under the stress of excitement." The German firm of law yers hoped that as all Hip goods have been returned and their client is very repentant, no further measures will be taken in the case. The Zurich Judge, however, has other views, and demands the arrest of the buiglttr. Tho Federal Government agrees, and tluough its Berlin Minister has demanded the arrest and extradition of tho burglar.
