Cologne, July 7. The responsible publisher’ of the Neue Rheinische 
Zeitung, Korff, and its editor-in-chief, Karl Marx, were interrogated 
yesterday at the office of the examining magistrate, both of them 
being accused of insulting or libelling the Chief Public Prosecutor, 
Herr Zweiffel, and the policemen who arrested Anneke. The 
interrogation began at 4 o’clock. After its conclusion, at about 6 
o'clock, the examining magistrate and Public Prosecutor Hecker 
accompanied the accused to the office of the editorial board, where 
with the aid of a police inspector a search of the premises took place 
in order to discover the manuscript and thus the author of the 
inculpated article.” There was found a note in an unknown 
handwriting but it was not a copy of the inculpated article. This note 
was added to the dossier of the indictment against Marx and consorts. 
In view of this last expression, it seems that it is intended to institute 
proceedings against the editorial board en masse although the 
responsible publisher, Korff, who alone appends his signature to the 
newspaper, undertakes, of course, also the legal responsibility for it.
