FORGED NOTES TRIAL

(Unitea Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) Received 11 a.in. to-day. BERLIN, Jan. 14.

A piquant statement was made at the forged notes trial that Karunilze in 1925, in Paris, met the son of the late Alfred B. Nobel, founder of the Nob-el Peace Prize ; and discussed with the son the possibility of financially assisting a plot lor (Georgian severance. He later objected to co-operating with the “German right wing mucldleheads. ” The judge interposed and rejected the evidence as irrelevant.

Another accused, Bell, offered to secretly give the names of tire emissaries of the Balkans if the prosecution guaranteed their lives would not be jeopardised. The allusion to secrecy was apparently due to the Communist newspaper “Hotel ah lie” publishing details of a secret hearing at which the name of a son of the Bavarian Premier was held to have been mentioned as the Balkans participant. “My husband was convinced that the question of Bolshevism or civ ilisation could only be solved by the sword, as other great problems in history have been done, explains General Hoffman’s widow in connection witii the forged .notes disclosures. “My husband was of the opinion that Bolshevism was out to stir up the coloured races in Asia and Africa against Europeans, who must sooner or later present a united front and fight Bolshevism. I think events have borne out my husband's view.”
