TREASON TRIAL.
SUDDEN INTERRUPTION. . COUNSEL RETIRE. By Telegraoh—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 7 8 p.m. Munich, March '<». The treason trial was suddenly interrupted through the Chief Prosecutor failing to continue, owing to humiliating attacks by counsel for the defence. The action of two prosecutors in indignantly leaving the court followed a remark by one of the defendants' counsel that a regular mania for arrests prevailed on the side of the prosecution, but they had not arrested those guilty of the ‘blood bath of November 9, meaning Kahr. Lossow, and Teisaer. The audience applauded, whereupon the Chief Prosecutor left, banging the door violently behind him. The court later reassembled, when counsel for the defendants apologised, but it is not yet certain whether the prosecutor will return.
