Dr. Gottfried Hessel was discharged on Thursday by Mr. Vang,han,

after a complete break-down of the evidence against him in relation to the Great Ceram Street murder. An alibi was quite satisfactorily made out, and the evidence of the very

important witnesses who identified Dr. seel was thus dis- credited. We are, therefore, farther than ever from any chance of securing the real murderer.
