ATTACK ON THE KAISER.
A SEA-CAPTAIN’S MAD PRANK. By Telegraph. Press Association. Copyright Berlin, March 8. Welland was irresponsible for his actions. He explains that he was formerly a sea-captain, and felt a fit coming on. The sounds of a fountain, mingled with the voices of the crowd, caused him to imagine he was aboard ship. The excitement intensified the delusion. He attempted to heave the lead, but threw an iron and struck the Emperor, then became unconscious. The iron was eight inches long, two inches wide, and three and a-quarter inches thick. It weighed nineteen ounces.
