B> lelempn—Press Association—Copyrlent (Rec. February 13, 11.15 p.m.) London, February 13. The "Daily Telegraph's" Berlin correspondent states that a court-martial on Lieutenant Schrovder commences shortly. The lieutenant is charged with accepting ,£SOOO from a Russian secret agent for a plan of the fortress of Possn. Finding it impossible to purloin the plan, a girl named Ida Nullerthal, whom Schrovder engaged to marry, suggested that it ehouid be tattood on her shoulders.
After several nights this was accomplished, and the girl, on travelling to Russia, received the money. The extravagance of the couple resulted in suspicion falling on them, and both were arrested. The incriminating plan was found when the girl was stripped and examined in prison.
