the utmost etfrontery. When asked if he
ever appeared In police court before he
replied:

notoriety he had achieved.
During the examination of the prisoner
Nj. Meyer suspected the accuracy of the
prisoners statements and said:
Il believe you are living"
BretOne glanced angrily at the Judge
when the latter made this remark, and
gave a second and then a third name; but
the Judge still insisted he did not believe
him and ordered the police to Inquire into
the prisoners antecedents. Bretone then
became very violent, and wien Meyer
asked him his motive for committing the
crime be replied:

bourgeois Government, which is so caIlous
to the poor. You have captured me. but
others will come who will succeed better

lasting two hours Breione was returned to
Mazas prison. Chief Inspector of Police
Molller expresses the belief that Bretone
has just arrived from London. When

lously clean, and this and other details
show that he was in comfortable circum-
stances, and not mere carpenter as he
preiends to be. His linen is marked

with the com mittee in a thorough discus

that the stock of the road is largely in the
hands of heirs and their guardians, and
none have authority to institute reorgani-
Zation proceedings. which renders it nec-
essary for the bOndhOlders to move in the
matter.
The Holland houses which Mr.. Boisse-
vain represents have placed about

proposition he makes to the COMMITTEES is
for an extension of the period to 1C0 years

be allowed to operate the system, includ-
ing the main line and branches, and the
bonds to be secured by the entire system
and not the main line alone, as at present.
