LATTER S ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THEORIES DISCOUNTED. (Received January 18, 9 a.m.) BERLIN-, January'l7. In connection with the --attemptec! suicide in the fortress at Glatz of Trench, an Englishman, who, witij! Brandon, another Englishman, wag sentenced in December, 1910, to | years' confinement on a charge of e»# pionage, it appears that letters recently written by Trench discount th« theories that he wished to commit! ! suicide, or had any desire to escape.Hie had not complained of his treat* meat while in the fortress, and had , severely criticised Captain Lux, who was serving' a' term of six years' imprisonment on similar charges, for escaping when it was perfectly understood that the lenient treatment (that was being accorded the prisoners they had been allowed all com- . lorts and the society of the governor and the officers of the fortress) was conditional on their undertaking not to attempt to escape. Since Lux'a escape Brandon and Trench have been subjected to the most rigorous res* frictions.
