BERLIN MURDER CHARGE. GIRL’S BRAZEN MENDACITY. Berlin, Feb. 13. Revelations in the Kranz case continue to appeal to the public. The frivolous indifference and brazen mendacity with which Hildegarde Scheller answered the questions of the Vioe-Prefect of Police is regarded as most shocking when it is remembered that her brother and hov lover were killed practically in her presence. The girl’s callousness is partly explained bv a discovery made by a policewoman, who went to the Scheller home to inquire regarding Hildegarde’s antecedents. She found the girl’s father bent over a table withTiis head in' his hands. He was not bowed down by grief, however, but was solving a crossword puzzle. Elinor Ratti, a gir] friend of Hildegarde. who visited the house on the night of the murders, was ruthlessly cross-examined when she attempted to exonerate Kranz at the expense of Scheller.—(A. and: N.Z.)
