GrOusset had been sent ont Of the Hall and back 10
his prison. for contempt of Court he turned and SAID
"But, Monsieur | have still some evidence to
give of the highest Importance" The Court,
not wishing for any more evidence from that that
sidc-having already as much as they could
well manage-paid no attention but sent the
culprt off between two gendarmes, and nothing
more was heard of him until the trial was over lhe

wrote in prison to Glandaz, and of which he sent
copy to the advocates Floquct and Launer IN whlch
letter he declared that if Fonyiee had said IN the

the 1st inst, most cOuIteOusly worded note from
Gen Anderson in which he gives me permission to

this explanation puts somewhat different face upon
the matter, but is it not little singular that the
sympathies Of Gen. Anderson, Ike those Of so many
other Americans should be 50 acutcly awakened Tor

Americans the only ones who are guilty OF this

was told me in the courtroom at Tours by person
who overheard the conversation. Two very elegantly
dressed French ladies were sitting In tront OF my
