GIRL ANARCHIST'S TRIAL VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL.
"POLITICAL"
CRIME.
Patus, December 28th.
A verdict, hailed with enthusiastic approval by the Socialists and the oppon etta of the existing order "generally. together, it must be noted, with some less extreme sections of opinion as well, was given on Monday when Germaine Bertos. who murdered Marius Plateau, the head of the Camelots du Roi," was acquitted At a quarter to four on the afternoon of Christinas Eve these two questions were put to the jury by the president of the "Did Ger- Assize Court at the Seine: main Berton commit wilful murder?

THE FINAL SPEECHES,
What were the motives, it may be asked, for declaring not guilty the girl who had that down in cold blood the chief of the Camelots du Roi" in his office at the Action Française Before trying to indicate them it is worth sum marising very briefly the speeches made at the close of the trial, first by the couns reprenting Peteau's family, second- of the Advocate General, and, lasts the appeal for acquittal made by Torres, counsel for the defence. The first of them was an attedpt-obviously hopeless in the circumstances--to rid the case of its political aspects and to induce the jury to look upon it, not as a quer- tion between the dction Française and the Abarchists, but as the plain fact of the murder of Marius Plateau by Germaine Bertua The Advocate General followed on somewhat similar lines, declaring that in Germaine Berton the jury must see only of anarchy.
