CHAT WITH TCHITCHERIN. FRENCH VIEW OF THE CRIME. (Received June 9. G p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON, June 9. A message from Berlin says importance * is attached to a three hours' conversation which took place there between the German Foreign Minister, ilerr Stresemann, and the Russian Commissar of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Tchiteherin. It is believed that Herr Stresemann impressed upon Mr. Tchiteherin the importance of restraining the excitement about the Voikoft murder.
