After replying to a question or two from
the court NJ Peletier continued: After
settling this personal matter there re-
mains nothing but to maintain in their
entirety my conclusions to the effect that
there is no likeness between the WRITING
of the bordereau and that of the pris-

Continuing. the witness said that after
a fresh superficial examination of the
Esterhazy and Dreyfus writings he ex-
pressed the belief that the bordereau
could only be ascribed to Esterhazy.
NJ. Couard. the official expert in the Es-
terhazy case in 1897. then testified that
he was instructed by Major Ravary to
eXpertly examine the bordereau and speci-

witness insisted upon experimenting with
the original bordereau and specimens of
Esterhazy's caligraphy, written by Ester
hazy in the presence of experts. Beyond
this the experts and Esterhazy had no
relations. The latter, therefore could not
have influenced him and the witness pro-
tested against NJ Zola's accusation and
adhered TO his opinion of 1897 that the
bordereau was not the work of Esterhazy

Who Hate Him May Attempt

TACOMA, Aug. 2s.-Oriental advices per
steamer Tacoma state: The Emperor of
China. Hwang Hsu, is now provided with
three meals a day, at each of which he
is only given two kinds of vegetables and
a small bowl of rice. 1t is even suspected
that an attempt is being made to starve
and make his Majesty even weaker than
he has been. To a confidential eunuch
his Majesty recently said:
MY restoration to power is only a
question of time, hence l am only too
anxious to maintain my health and bde
my time. / am only afraid that the one
or two traitorous Ministers who hate me
may by their Vaccinations succeed in
destroying me, and / have no means of
counteracting their treachery."
A report has just come of a serious riot
in Chinese Thibet at a place called Paao

the China inland mission has workers.

Thomas ]. Cook, a Peatlands
Farmer, Shot While
He Slept.
HAD A BAD RECORD
The Girl In the Case Flatly
Denies the Charges Made By
Mrs. Cook.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ANA, Aug. 28.-Thomas ].
Cook, a Peatlands farmer, recently ac-
quilted of the murder of Jasper Griggs-
by of the same place, was shot and
killed by his wife Katie this morning.
Jealousy was the cause and trouble
had been brewing for some time. Cook
was one of the est-known men in the
county and had the reputation of being
gun fighter and reckless man. He
had resided in this county eighteen
years. and in that time had engaged in
a deadly fight with his brother, each
emptying his gun with intent to kill.
without harm resulting. For some
time he and his wife had been on i'll
terms because of alleged infidelity on
his part.
Cook was found this morning by
alarmed neighbors lying on a mattress
in his wife's room, with bullet hole in
the corner of his right eye, stone dead.
The wife says Cook went out last night
and did not come home until o'clock
in the morning. When he returned she
upbraided him for infidelity and was
told to do the next best thing if sh.
didn't like 1T. Cook threatened to do her
bodily harm If she exposed him. They
quarreled, and at length Cook fell
! asleep and his wife took gun from
beneath his pillow and shot him. The
| shot alarmed the hired man, who
/ aroused the neighbors.
! The girl in the case is Mabel Moody.
| apparently about IS years old, and the
daughter of a rancher living some two
| or three miles southeast of the Cook
| home. She fatty contradicts Mrs. Cook
and also says that Mr.. and Mrs. Cook
! quarreled almost necessarily, and that
/ Cook accused his wife of being too init
mate with the hired man.
/ Much interest is manifested over the
! shocking tragedy as Cook, although a
! turbulent, reckless man, had many
| friends who stood by him through the
/ trial in which he was acquitted of the
| murder of Jasper Griggsbv, and who
! still stoutly aver his innocence of any
! thing more serious than justifiable
! homicide in that matter.
Mrs. Cook also has many friends in
! the neighborhood, where she is we'll
/ known as the daughter of J. H. Pope. a
/ prominent farmer of that section. She
! is Cooks second wife and is but % years
! old and had been married to Cook for
| nine years. Cook has one brother in
Tulare County and has no other known
relatives in this country. Mrs. Cook
/ was brought to this city is now at the
! County Jail. The witnesses to be called
| at the inquest tomorrow are James
Barton, Mabel Moody G. w. Moore
and w. NJ. Kesmann. The preliminary
| trial is set for August 80. Prominent
| counsel has been retained to represent
| the prisoner. The defense will be emo
tional insanity and the feeling tonight

DUKE OF ORLEANS
LEAGUED WITH GUERIN
Such Is the Belief Said to Be Held by
the Police Authorities of

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S-A Sun cable from
Paris says: The Courier du Soir says It
has learned of the Importance which the
Government attaches to the siege of the
house in the Rue de Chabrol in which the
anti-Semite leader, Guerin, and a number
of his friends have intrenched themselves
against the authorities. If true. it ex-
plains the reason why the place was not
attacked days ago by the military.
The paper declares that the Government
believes that one of the pretenders to the
French throne, presumably the Duke of
Orleans, is in the house with Guerin. and
1t wishes to capture him alive, in view of
the proof that his presence would furnish
of the monarchist conspiracy If an as
sault should be made on the place 1t might
happen that the pretender would be killed
and this the Government wishes to avoid.

ing to the Rome correspondent Of the

u of the evidence to-day. for a
change, was in favor OF Dreyfus.
i I Five witnesses were for him and
two against him.
The most interesting testimony was
that Of Chief Handwriting Expert
Charavay who had come to declare that
he had changed entirely his opinion.
which in 1894 was against, and is now
in favor of Dreyfus, who he to-day af-
f1rmed was not the author of the bor-
dereau. His candid confession of error
was received with murmurs of salts
faction in court, which became discreet
applause in spite of Colonel Jouaust's
patent disapproval, when he solemnly
added:
Il declare here, on my soul and con-
science, that the bordereau was writ
ten by Esterhazy."
The most important incident, how
ever, was Colonel Jouausts acquies-
cence TO Major Carriere's request that
a Yogatory commission be instructed to
take Colonel du Patty de CLAIMS depo-
sition. The initiative came purely from
the Government Commissary, Maitres
Labori and Demange having no faith
IN such a measure, because 1t allows Du
Patty de Clam to escape cross-eXamina-
tion, which is the only thing worth
having under the present circum-
stances. Du Patty de Clam being a wit
ness for the prosecution, Major Car
riere will simply prepare list of ques-
itons which an examining magistrate
will put TO Du Patty de Clam at his resi-
dence and nobody supposes that the
witness will be very much embarrassed
by the interrogatories.
To-day the central figure in the
courtyard, which is the meeting place
for all the leading persOnages of the
trial during the suspension of the ses-
sions, was Captain Freystmetter, who
was the subject Of many 1attering re-
marks on his manly and soldier-like
bearing. Indeed. the interest in him
was so great that some persons waited
all night long outside the door Of the
court in order to obtain standing room
in the rear part of the courtroom, in
the hope of seeing him at to-day's sit
ting, an impression having gone abroad
that he might be recalled. His modest
and frank manner inspired admiration
in all except the generals and the other
military witnesses for the prosecution.
who seemed afraid of him and scOwled
in his direction from the other side of
the courtyard. Captain Freystmetter
will not remain here until the end IF
the trial, but will leave Rennes in a few
days.
NJ de Freycinet, formerly Minister OF
War. arrived this afternoon and will
testify tomorrow.

Girl Kills Her Father,

From the Rapid City Journal Of the
2Sth ult. We CLEAN the following addit-
ional particulars concerning the killing
of Frank Bouts by his fifteen year old
daughter, a mention of which appeared
in our issue Of last week:
Sheriff Leedy returned from New
castle last evening, bringing with him
two children belonging to the family of
Frank Bouts, who was murdered near
there last Tuesday. The man was killed
by his fifteen-year-old daughter. Bouts
was B. & Nj. tie contractor with a wife
and eight children. Mr.. Leedy says he
found the mans home to be nothing but
hut, with proyerbial pile of rags for
beds. There was nothing but filth and
the most abject poverty to be seen.
The man had been very abusive to his
children, beating them and driving
them out into the cold without anything
to eat. 1t seems dreadful to think OF a
girl killing her father, but she had en-
dured hardships Of his making until she
had lost patience, and she took rife
and blew his brains out while he slept
BY mistake the sheriff of Weston county,
Wyo., took the matter up and had the
girl custody. Mr.. Leedy did not wait to
get out requisition papers, but left her
there and brought back two other child
rem, for both Of whom he had to get
clothing before they could leave the
house. The mother and one of son were
away from home making railroad ties
when Mr.. Leedy was there. 1t hardly
seems that such poverty, ignorance and
viciousness could exist anywhere in
Pennington county. The general i'm
preston is, however that the girl only
gave her father his just deserts.
