Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. l5.-Henry
Burlson, a young man employed by
William NJ. Terry & Co, wholesale meat
dealers, in Bridgeport, may have had no
hand in the killing of the young woman
whose cUt-up body was found in Yellow
Mill Pond, and Supt Birmingham, of the
Bridgeport police, is the strongest up
holder Of the young mans entire limo
cence, but within a few hours strong
chain OF circumstantial evidence has
been developed against the young meat
wagon driver, who. a few hours after the
finding Of the womaa's body, left home,
and who was heard from today in Mat
teawan, n. Y.
His absence is no more interesting than
that OF Nancy Guiiford, a midwife, who
left her home at No. 81 Gilbert Street,
the same morning. Her husband is in
prison at Wethersfield for malpractice in
New Haven and she recently forfeited
her bail bond on the same charge. Her
husband is known as DR.. GIN.
The laundry mark &c. 81 is the cir
cumstantial evidence against the Guilford
woman, but she, too, may be innocent
OF any connection with the death OF the
unknown woman.
William Kelley, a stone mason, whose
home is at 1914 Seaview Avenue. within a
this morning which was the first link in
the chain of circUmstantial evidence. His
story is much like that OF Hall. the Eng
lish weaver. Kelley was out taking
walk Sunday evening after dark and
when he came near the southern end OF
Seaview Avenue Bridge he saw pneu-
matte road wagon standing in Connecti-
cut Avenue. A man was sitting in the
wagon. holding the reins as If he were
waiting for some one The man wore
light overcoat and a black soft hat He
was a man. as Kelley remembers, about
five and one-half feet tall, with a light
moustache.
Kelley loitered around, but the stran-
ger whipped up his horse and drove away,
only TO return to the same spot few
moments later. Kelley drew off under the
shadow Of the woods skirting the north
short of the pond. He had not been there
long when a man came hurrying through
the bushes and, stopping in the shadow
and opening his coat, drew out big bum
die and lay 1t on the ground. He began
fumbling with il, when he saw Kelley
and hastily picked up his bundle and dis
appeared in the woods. The stonemason
got out of the woods and hurried home.
il was then o'clock.
Some of the physicians who have eX-
amined the parts of the woman's body
at the morgue declare today that the cut
ting was not done by a surgeon. but by
q butcher. These physicians called atten-
ton to the manner in which the lower
legs were cut off. The young womans
legs were cut off by the use of both
knife and saw. Butchers, in cutting up
meat, use this same method, but the sur
geon does not use the saw.
The rubber tired wagon and the meat
cutter were accordingly sought after.

a telephone call at police headquarters

HE BELIEVES IN
DREYFUS' GUILT
M. Cavaignac, Minister Of War, Re-
signs from French Cabinet.
NOT IN ACCORD WITH OTHERS
Thev Claim That the Revision Is Only
Judicial. But Nj. Cavaignac Con-
tends That No judicial
Error Has Been Shown.

PARIS. Sept 3.-The Dreyfus agitation
is not abaTing. The populace was again
inAamed to-day by posters printed b.
the Steele. with which the town has been
mastered. They reproduce two letters
which Dreyfus wrote 10 the Minister Tor
war in 1894, and one which he wrote TO
his counsel VI. De Mango, in 1894, pro-
testing his innocence and denying that
he had ever been guilty Of indiscretion.
The posters also call attention to the
fact that Colonel Plcquart wrote on July
9Th. Affirming the falsity OF Lieutenant
Colonel Henrys documents and they de-
nounce the arrest and imprisonment OF
Colonel Picquart.
WHY HE RESIGNED.
These are the circumstances which LED
NJ. CayiagnAc 10 resign:
After the discovery Of Lieutenant-Col-
onel Henrys forgery The government
sought means 10 reassure the public. The
question OF revision was broachcd. Ger
lain ministers believed the time had come
TO throw light and 10 establish every re-
sponsibility NJ. Caviagnac strongly OBJ
iacted lie declared that he Was con-
yinced OF the guilt OF Dreyfus NJ. Bris-
son vainly endeayorcd TO overcome his
resistance. Later NJ. Sarrien pointed out
10 NJ. CaWagnac that the revision would
be purely judicial. NJ. Cavaignac replied
that revision could only be justified 81
some new fact were developed 20 show
there had been a judicial error and that
no such fact existed, Henry's forgery
being subsequent to the conviction Of
Dreyfus and only indirectly connected
with IL. NJ. Bourgeois. recalled from
Switzerland, made a new effort, but NJ.
Caviagnac still refused The latter then
saw NJ. Brisson, the Premier and de-
clared that his determination was I'M
movable ana that he would resign.
A CONFERENCE.
After NJ. Caviagnacs departure con-
ference was held al the Ministry Of the
Interior between NJ brissOn. Bourgeois
and Sarrien.About . o'clock NJ. Cay.ag-
macs letter Of resignation was received.
II is assumed that a majority OF the
Cabinet accept the views OF NJ. Bris-
son as the other ministers retain their
portfolios.
The resignation OF NJ. Cavlagnac en-
ables the government 20 decide the mat
ter. and Il is believed that W. Cayiagnac's
successor at the war cftice will soon be
appointed and definite resolution
taken.
