TRIAL OF PRINCE EULENBERG

DRAMATIC EVIDENCE

"THE TRUTH IS OUT."

Received July 8, 10.20 p.m. BERLIN, July 8.

The trial of Prince Philip Eulcnberg on a charge of perjury in connection with the case against Herr Harden, editor of the newspaper "Zukunft," was continued yesterday. A witness named Ernst, who was once Prince Eulenberg's valet, gave dramatic evidence against accused. During the evidence of this witness Prince Eulenbprg was silent, but was convulsed with rage. Ernst repeatedly paid: "The truth is out. You and I, Prince, are lose so far as this world is concerned. Nothing can help us now."

Recently Prince Eulenberg was arrested after, at his own request, having been confronted by two witnesses from Munich, who, at the hear • iug of a libel suit brought by HenHarden against the editor of the "Neue Freio Volkszeitung," de clared that tha relations between the Prince and themselves were censurable. The Prince, who was then ill, was arrested on the ground of perjury at the re-trial of Harden en a charge of libelling Count Kuno von Moltke. Four months'imprisonment, the costs of both trials (estimated at £1,000), and compulsory publication of conviction in newspapers in Berlin, Hanover, Cologne, as well as in his owi periodical, the "Zukunfi," constituted the punishment imposed upon Herr Harden at that trial. The Crown Prosecutor demanded conviction on the ground that Herr Harden had failed utterly to just'fy either the charges of criminal practices agahi3t Count Moltke and Prince Eulenberg, or the allegation that they had engaged in political activities inimical to the State.
