DREYFUS.
The Mournfui story Which Led TO the
Five Suicides in Paris.


The romance which from time 10 time is
thrown around the conviction of cx CAPTAIN
Drcyfus is very interesting, but. unfortunately
for the convict, il is only romance. The idea
OF his innocence was probably created by n
French novel that appeared some time before
his arrest, and the hcro OF which was a cap

of a conspiracy. Singularly enough. The story
fitted the case of Dreyfus very wcl, except in
one important point, his Innocence.
But the imprcssionablc composition Of MANY
French minds assumed form Of suspicion in
regard 10 the justice of the traitors convic.
ton, n suspicion whose only real foundation
was the fact that hts trial was conducted
with closed doors. All sorts OF sensational
stories were told OF the condemned nan, es-
pecially in the English papers, in which his
escape, OF, rather. his many escapes were de-
tailed IN n style worthy OF the yelowest Jour.
nalism.
The fact is that Dreyus was convicted on
the clearest evidence. There was no possi
bility of any conspiracy against him. He
was caught at his Infamous work, and only
escaped the death sentence by the law, which
fails 10 prescribe capital punishment for
treason in time Ot peace.
