RATRENAU’S MURDER. “THE TIMER ” SERVICE. (Received’this dav at 9.30 a.m.) BERLIN, October 11.
Remarkable evidence was given at the Rathenau niuj'der trial, which disclosed the existence of an academy, attended mainly by boys between thirteen and sixteen years of age, with the avowed object of cultivating a spirit of imperialism and Prussianism as a counterblast to the boy scout patrols ; one of the products thereof was a schoolboy named Stuhenrauok, fcl who designed the first plan of Rathenau’s murder, which was not followed. He coolly informed the Court that he had judged Rathenau a danger to the country in consequence of the Rapallo Treaty, and had arranged with Gunther, one of the accused, to murder Rathenau at a, supper party, given by a prominent industrialist, hut as Gunther failed to keep liis promise to provide him with a revolver lie said the friendship cooled. Stuh'enrauek’s evidence was a mass of political trivialities. It is stated he was allowed to remain at bis public school after the proceedings against him had been decided in bis favour.
