AMAZING SPECTACLE.

A correspondent of the Daily. fail writing from Berlin on July lech, says:

Berlin is sweltering in hest.un- relieved by even the tiniest breeze, and a large proportion of the population bas fed from the city to bathe in the lakes and streams which surround it.

Having heard that 50,000 were expected at the most accessible of the bathing places, on the shores of the Wannsee, a large lake, I motored out there in half an hour this afternoon and saw one of the. most extraordinary spectacles in Europe.

The complainant said that she was a schoolgirl, aged sixteen years and a half. On May 28th, while waiting for a friend, she met Blood, whom she knew, and he invited her into a house where he was staying with his married sister,

Later Blood suggested that they should go and look for her friend. With Blood the walked along Scotch Common-road, Ealing, and at the corner they sat down.
