THE DRtYfUS CASE.
Gen. Zurlinden Said There was Enough
Evidence to Convict Him Again.

PARIS, April 10.-In continuing his tes-
timony before the Court of Cessation. as
published in the Figaro this morning,
Gen Zurlinden said that his own study
OF the handwriting confirmed the theory
of the War Office as to the guilt Of Drey-
fus. Dreyfus' explanation Of the varia-
ton OF the "recto' and 'verso" docu-
ments was far-fetched IL was TO the ef-
feet that his left hand was occupied In
turning up the titles of the documents
enumerated In the ''recto" and that IL
was free while he was writing the EYER
So hence the greater normality OF the
handwriting OF the latter. There existed
evidence. the witness declared sufficient
20 convict Dreyfus at another court-mar-

urged the court to reject the application
for revision.

Result of ihypodermic injections DR..
Rawson was found lettering about the
city several days ago and he was given
shelter by the police. Last night his
mental impairment became so marked
that to-day he was transferred TO the
insane hospital. While being shown TO
his ward the attendant was called away
by the actions OF a violently Insane pa
tient. and DR.. Rawson seized the oppor-
tunity TO pass into a closet where ne
used two towels and swung himself into
eternity. He was dead when found. Late
tonight something OF his past history
developed through clippings and other
documents in his possession
In November, 1881 at Salt Lake City,
Rawson married the queen Of Washing
ton society in the person OF the beauti-
full Miss Nancy Norton, a descendant OF
a fine old Virginia family. whose ac-
quaintance he made on train. At
reception given by Secretary Gresham
she was pronounced the most beautiful
woman in Washington She was only
seventeen. The marriage 10 DR.. Rawson
followed an acquaintance OF but six days,
and the young couple moved to Seattle,

social standing, coupled with his brilliant
prospects as a rising young physician.

Within a few months Mrs Rawson was
an applicant for divorce. I'm which she
avered that life was intolerabie on ac-
count of the Doctors practices"
The specific acts of which she COM
planned were not set out No opposition
was made to the divorce. her husband
absenting himself in Europe while the
proceedings were pending. Nothing is
known of his descent 10 the degraded
depths In which death found him to-day
but In his rawlings he frequently referred
TO his past history. The clippings In his
possession animated that Mrs. Rawson
married him in fit of pique, and that
she was really the bethrothed 10 Prince
Yturbide, OF Mexico, or at least attached
to him. Communica ton will be had with
