Deadly Microbes.
Washington, Sept. 23. How Ger
many "shamefully abused and ex
ploited" the piotection of the United
States by secreting in the German
legation at Bucharest, after the Amer
ican government had taken charge of
Germany's affairs at the Roumanian
capital, Quantities of powerful ex
plosives tor bomb plots and deadly
microbes, with instructions for their
use in destroying horses and cattle,
was revealed today by Secretary
Lansing.
! From Official Report
It was another o'e lie series of Mr.
Lansing's disclosures of German in
trigue made public without comment
in the same manner as the Von Lux
burg telegrams, which have brought
Argentina to the verge of war with
Germany; the Von Eckhardt letter
from Mexico City and the Von
Bernstorff telegram asking the Ger
man foreign office for authority to
spend $50,000 to influence congress.
The latest storv is told in a reoort
!to the State department from William
Whitting Andrews, secretary of the
I legation at Bucharest, and a letter

German consulate at Bucharest with
display of great precaution aroused
the suspicions of the Roumanian gov
ernment On August 27, 1916, the
evening prior to the date of Rou
manian declaration of war, some of
the cases were taken to the German
legation, located in a different build
ing from the consulate. . Convinced
thct the boxes were not taken away
from the legation by the German dip
lomatic mission on its departure from
Bucharest the Roumanian authorities
later ordered (he police to find and
examine their contents. The police
communicated with American Min
ister Vopicka, then in charge of Ger
man interests, who ' reluctantly as
signed Secretary Andrews to observe
the search. The hnxr wer found
f buried in the garden of the German

Find Great Quantities
Mr. Andrews' report says: '
1 "Upon my return from the ex-
smination which resulted in the dis
I covery of the explosives and of the
1 box of microbes, both of which the
I legation servants admitted having
1 placed in the garden, the former con
iridential agent of the German minister,
I In, Bernhardt who had been left with
I the legation at the German minister's
request to assist in the care of Ger-
man interests, admitted his knowledge
I of the explosives placed In the garden:
I told me that more were in the garden
I than had been found: that a still
I larger quantity had been buried in
1 the bouse of the legation; and that
still worse things than this box of
: microbes were contained in the lega-
tion, and insinuated that they would
have been found even in the cabinets
of dossiers which I had sealed.
k Brought to Legation.
! "Dr. Bernhardt also stated that all
these object! had been brought to
I the German legation after our lega
tion had accepted the protection of
f German interests, which agreed with
iiic siaiciucm u wic ecivsm..
similar confession was made to the
minister hv this man.
"The protection of the United
States was in this manner shamefully
abused ? and exploited. In this in
stance, at least the German govern
ment cannot have recourse to its
usual system of denial."
Fifty-one boxes were taken from
the ground in the garden. Fifty of
them contained trinitrotuolent satur
ated with mononitrotuolene, among
the most powerful explosives known,
one-fifth of each of one being suf
ficient to tear up a railroad track. In
the other box were bottles of liquid
found to be cultivations of the mic
robes of anthrax and glanders.
Instructions lor Use, V :
It bore a seal showing it came from
'the German consulate at Kronstadt
1 Hungary, and inside was found a
typewritten note in German saying: rt
: "Inclosed four phials for horses

I cdod results the presence of Mr.

irable." . . ""
Foreign Minister Porumbaru ac
companied his letter with documents
td prove the origin of the boxes and
their contents.
'It has been possible to prove in an
uridisputable way," he said, "that be

The laws of this country provide
that to be properly wed Chinese must
have a civil marriage performed in

Miss Lem and their attendants, the
women garbed in gayly-colored silks

court house and had the finishing

breakfast Witness could not. recall
having met anybody except Landers

evidence of W. C Miller, Macedonia
druggist relative to meeting Kelly at
the Miller home three weeks before;
also with conversations said to have
been held between Deputy Sheriff At
kins of Logan, with Kelly at Alto

tend that KeKy was a victim of sug
gestions and accusations; that re
peated' accusations of the crime

he was guilty of the crime of another.
The prosecution counters with the
assertion that Kelly has demonstrated

mony has shown he related details of
the crime before it was discovered.

When asked why Kelly was not
