A POLICEMAN FLIRTS.

AMOURS WITH A COUNTESS. Captain Hester, of the Prussian police, is to be taught by a disciplinary court the exact rules which a police officer must observe in conducting a flirtation with a beautiful countess. The charming person with whom he flirted, the Countess von Bothmer, lodged no objection against his conduct. The persons who are vaguely described as “the disciplinary authorities” hold, however, that his conduct was unsuitable for an officer of the police. The result of their investigation is embodied in, a document of 20 typewritten pages which constitutes the indictment against him. The worst charges against him are: He often walked in the streets of •Potsdam with the countess without her husband. His telephone conversation with the countess were, according to the evidence of a policewoman, of the most shameless kind, which is clearly shown, by the fact that he called her “darling” and “dear child.” At a police hall at which a number of the wives of police officers were present he so far forgot himself as to dance with a millinei'. •Captain Hester declared that his conduct has always been correct.
