.ENGLAND'S DREYFUS CASE
Story of a London Lawyer Who
Was Wrongfully Convicted.
SENT TO A PENAL COLONY
Dsnied Opportunities to Demonstrat to
That He Was MISUNDERSTANDING
Released on a Pardon" and Given
$4,000 Compensation.

1t may come upon some people with
reign of Queen Victoria an entirely in
nocent man has been convicted in the
city of London, sentenced to impriso..-
ment for life, taken in a convict ship
to the DEVILS island of the British en-
pire and treated there with barbarous
cruelty, also that he evidently succeed
ed in getting grave doubts thrown upon
his conviction, was granted a condi-
tional pardon and finally his innocence
established by a committee of the
house of commons, with a parliament
tary grant of $4,000 as a solatium for
judicial blunder, an appalling degra-
dation and ruined career.
In the year 1913 there was a retired
surgeon and man of property named
Joshua Fletcher living in London. He
mad succeeded in corrupting clerk of
the Bank of England named Christmas.
to whom he gave large brides for secret
and exclusive information concerning
stock held for persons who had not
claimed dividends for years. In accord
ance with the law stocks on which divi-
dend had not been claimed for 10 years
became the property of the national
debt commissioners. Christmas kept
Fletcher well informed as to the mon
eys that were thus likely to lapse and
then Fletcher set to work to forge wills
and other documents that would enable
him to secure the spoil.
One day Christmas sent Fletcher
news that large sum standing in the
name of Anne Slack, Smith street, Chel-
sea. was about to lapse. Fletcher set to
work as usual, forged the necessary will
and met by appointment a confederate
named Sanders on Waterloo bridge. As
a result Mrs. Sanders proceeded to the
office of Barber e Bircham, attorneys
She saw Mr.. Barber, or rather was in
troduced to him by Fletcher as the
lady entitled to the money. Mrs Sand
ers played her part to perfection and
appeared to be a highly respectable
parsonage.
A copy of the fictitious will having
been made by a clerk in the office Bar
Der accompanied Mrs. Sanders to his
proctor and the will was proved in the
usual way. Probate was forwarded in
due course to Mr., Barber and lodged
in the Bank of England. After care
full scrutiny of the will and the other
associated documents the bank authori-
ties declared themselves perfectly sat
iSfied and the claimant was at liberty
to deal with the stock whenever she
thought proper. Barber then notified
Mrs. Sanders who proceeded to the
bank and drew out the whole of the
money. For his professional services
in the matter Barber received the mod
est sum of G23. That was the full eX-
tent to which he benefited by the trans
action. Fletcher and his fellow con-
spirators met in house in Francis

1S4S, Barber received free pardon in

1S4S, Barber received a free pardon in
Paris
Barber was now back in London. and
his first step was to apply for his pro-
fessional certificate with a view of re-
Stunning practice as an attorney. His
application was opposed by the Incor-
porated Law society ON the ground that
a free pardon did not necessarily estab-
fish innocence, as it was simply an act
of grace and mercy. The fight for his
professional rehabilitation was pro-
longed for five years, and then a re-
markahle discovery was made. A doc
ument in the handwriting of Sanders,
headed instructions for My Solicitor"
was unearthed. 1t fully explained how
Barber had been employed in the case
OF Anne Slack without having the
slightest suspicion that the will pre-
scented to him had been forged. The
court of queens bench was now satis-
fled and awarded Barber his certifi-
cate in 1858.
After struggling for some time to re-
gain his old position Barber presented
a petition TO the house of commons in
April, 1857, setting forth all the facts
of his strange and unfortunate case.
The petition was referred to a select
committee, who took evidence and re-
ported that Mr.. Barber has strong
claims on the favorable consideration
of the crown" In accordance with
this recommendation the government
granted G5 900 compensation to Bar
Der, after having unavailingly sought
to induce the Bank of England to join
in this tardy act of reparation to the
sorely tried victim of a lamentable
judicial blunder. Poor Barber died
shortly after receiving the money voted
him by parliament.-London Chronicle.

IN THE probate COURT
Executor Stephens Files His An
swer to Evans.
fDENlES THE SERVICES
Court Is Asked to Declare the Judgment
Void Lack OF Jurisdiction Di-
vorce ocsedings-Erickson
Charged With Assault.

In the matter of the estate of Frank
Stephens, Thomas F. Stephens, the exc
cutor, through his counsel, D. H. Ke-
hoe, filed in the office of the clerk of
the court yesterday his answer to the
petition of r. d. Evans for an order
to pay a claim of 500 against the Sc
tate of the deceased Frank Stephens.
The claim was for 500 alleged to have
been due George W. Munroe for pro-
fessional services rendered in the last
illness of Frank Stephens
The defendant denies that the said
Munroe performed any professional
services for the said Frank Stephens
on Dec. 6, as alleged, or at any other
time; admits that the said Munroe pre-
scented a bill for 500 to the executor
of the estate in February, but that it
was rejected; denies that the said claim
of Munroe was assigned to the petit
toner, r. d. Evans, or that the petit
toner ever demanded payment of the
claim by the executor and denies that
a judgment was ever legally entered
against the defendant for the claim by
Justice Bliss.
Answering further, the defendant al
leges that the claim was presented to
the executor and rejected; that suit
was brought in the court of Justice
Bliss on May 10th, 1899; that on May
23d, the return day, the defendant by
his counsel, D. H. Kehoe, appeared in
court and after waiting an hour for
the plaintiff to appear, and his failure
10 do so, counsel for the defendant filed
a motion for dismissal which was de-
MED by the court: that thereafter on
the first day of June, Justice Bliss en-
tered default judgment against the
defendant for the amount of the claim,
which judgment the defendant believes
was void for want of jurisdiction of the
justice, he having lost jurisdiction when
the plaintiff failed to appear on the re-
turn day. The court is asked to deny
the petition and declare the judgment
void.

The Kaiser's Sermon.

From the Christian World.,. = ,ssyeAsg7 z
A good story about the kaiser comes
from Berlin. 1t is well known that his
majesty during his annual trip on board
the Hohenzollern to the Norwegian
fiords, is in the habit of conducting li-
vine service every Sunday morning
He usually reads a short liturgy and
follows the prayers with sermon, not
of his own composition but from the
collection of some well known German
divine. During his recent trip the Of
fcers of the HohenZOllern noticed that
a sailor during divine service, either
overcome by heat or from some other
cause, had fallen fast asleep. Their
CONSERVATION was great, and they were
relieved when the imperial sermon came
to an end and the sailor Weakened with
start. After the service the captain
called the sailor before him, gave him
sound rating. and sentenced him TO
two days arrest. Now, it happens that
on Sunday afternoons on board the
Hohenzollern it is the kaiser's custom
to hear the captains report of the
events of the preceding week. If any
sailor has distinguished himself the
kaiser shakes hands with him or says
few kindly words if a sailor has been
punished the kaiser hears the. details
the captain reported the incident of the
sleeping sailor, and the punishment in
ficted on him.
WAS he on the watch the night be-
fore?" asked the kaiser.
He was. your majesty"
Then let the poor devil off. Besides.
it wasn't much of a sermon, anyhow"
