Though severely wounded he had car
ried to Empress Eugene the announce

Germany, and on this intelligence she |
had been aided by him. DIR. Evans. an
American dentist at Rouhr, and the late |
Duc de Morny at once escaped to Eng

Gen. NJ. Adaras came to the United |
States soon after the declaration of the |
French. Republic, to which he announc
cd himself bitterly hostile. Finally"
said ORourke. M. Adaras is man
whom believe utterly incapable of be- |
ing a party to any such clumsy methods |
as that adopted by the Dublin assassins. |
He is a soldier. not merely by profess |
sion, but with soldiers instincts and |
iislikes to any Molly Mcguire style of |
Heis cultured man of the |
world. and not at all likely to have any |
affiliations with men of that type"
