"THE MAN WHO SAVED HIS HONOUR."
flls Case to be Re-opened. By Telegraph.—Press Association. — Copyright. Received December 32, 12.53 a.ra. Berlin, December 21. The Ivaiser has ordered an enquiry into the killing of a‘ civilian by Lieutenant Bruse* witz to ba re-opened. About two months, ago, it will bo remembered, llrusowita murdered an engineer ut CtirUrubo who hai accidentally touch id his chair in a and aeClined to apologisd. Bcnamfita placed b,ls friends at tho oaftl doors, and thou cllaaod the engineer down tho passage, killing him with his sword, remarking at the same time “My honour is saved.” After an enquiry, Brusowitz received the totally inadequate punishment of four years’ imprisonment in a fortress, and he was also dismissed from tho army. It will be interesting tow ilcb whether tho re-opening of the case will result in Brusewitz receiving what he so richly deserves for such a cowardly act, or whether bis sentence will actually bo reduced. Tho "Court of Honour” of Germany, Which apparently justifies murder when its sacred corns are trodden upon, is such a strange and wonderful thing that it is np.t at all improbable that Brnsowitz will'in tho end escape with even a loss severe sentence than he has already received.
