1 PRINCE EULENBERG ARRESTED. BAIL REFUSED. Received May 10, 4.2 p.m. BERLIN, May 9. After being confronted by three witnesses Prince Eulenberg was arrested, although suffering intense physical pain, and was conveyed in a motor ambulance to Berlin. The Prince's counsel sought to have him released on £25,000 bail, but the examining Magistrate refused the request. , ' ; , . Last week the Judicial Committee visited the Castle of Liedenberg, and examined Prince Eulenberg re lative to contradictions between his evidence in the Harden libel trial in Berlin and the testimony of two Munich witnesses in the trial on April 21st, regarding his malpractices. The Prince expressed his desire to confront the witnesses. He said he was unable to understand their allegations. On April 21st Herr Maximilian Harden, editor of the Berlin "Zukunft," who in January last was sentenced to four months' imprisonment for having libelled Count von JWol'tke in the course of charges of scandalous conduct, involving Prince von Eulenberg and other members of the Berlin Court, appeared as complainant -in a case against the "Neuefreie Volkzeitung," a Munich daily.paper. The latter paper has accused Herr Harden of accepting 1.000,000 marks (£50,000) from Prince Philip von Eulenberg as a bribe for the, discontinuance of his (Harden's) attacks upon the Prince. For thus libelling Harden the editor of the journal was ordered to pay a fine of 100 marks (£5).
