Joel, the London and South Af- rican mine owner and financier. The defendant is believed by some to be Frank Xurtze, the Murderer of Woolf Soot, brother of the prosecutor in the present case. That crime was committed in Johannesburg ten Years ago, and Veltheim's lawyers are 118' ing this fact on whieh to base the defence that the present prosecution is instituted out of revenge by the murdered man's brother. A French Secret Agent. When his case was called Veltheim candidly admited that he was a se- cret agent of the Freneh Government, and boldly annouricee his address as the Quai Dersay the French Foreign Office): Paris, which fact, by the way, may account for the zeal of the Ger- ffian detectives in attempting to ob- tain his extradition from the French Government on the charge of obtain- ing $10,000 from n German woman. Veltheirn told of questioning the de- tective who brought him from France concerning the eleven warrants which formed the basis of his arrest, the chief of which was that involving the alleged Seel blackmail threat. "When the warrant charging Me With an attempt to blackmail Joel was read," said the ;prisoner, in an uncon- cerned manner, "I said: 'Fancy an innocent letter like that being con- strued intoa threat to kill and imir- der I have had the opinion of Sir Thomas Barclay on that letter.

Von 'Veltheim, on being • airested tell you to go back to Joel and Mll him not to make an ass of himself? Did he tell you to advise Joel. to read that letter a second time?" • "No;" answered the. detective., "Von 'Veltheim simply said that Seel. was 11,. fad], to take any notice of the letter." In response to further questions, the detective admitted that he did not caution Von Velthelin that any state- ments he slionld melte would be used against him. : . • ' In view of this .faet and the strength of the enunsel who are con- ducting Von Veltheines defence, there 'seeing to be a pretty good chance, that ' the prisoner will again, slip friani the clutches of the' law.
