FAMOUS DETECTIVE ON
TRIAL.
ALLEGED GERMAN CONSPIRACY.
NEW YORK, January 23 it.
The trial commenced to-day of William
Burns, the famous detective, who
successfully investigated the dynamite
outrages in San Francisco some years
ago, and of Martin Egan, an employee
of the late Mr. Pierpont Morgan, on
a charge of publishing papers taken from
a lawyer's office. -
The defendants' counsel admitted
that his clients entered the lawyer's office,
but contended that they were justified,
because their purpose was to defeat
a monstrous plot to enable Count
Von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador
to America, to see the Allies' con-
fidential orders to Mr. J. P. Morgan.
