HAMILTON CONFESSES
Was Member of Gainesville Gang
 Which Shot Prisoner in Jail

Gainesville, Ga. August r.-TayIor Ham, ilton. one of the mob which took Si Smith from the jail in this county and lynched him few weeks ago, made a full confess sion before the grand jury of Hall county yesterday. In his confession Hamilton im- pdcates number of prominent merchants of thfs county, and his story of the affair has created sensation. He tells of tall man whom the mob called Mark" who wore black false whiskers and played the pant of the fake sheriff in order to gain entrance inside the jail and secure Smith.
 Hamilton acted the part of the pretended prisoner on the night of the tragedy. En-. trance to the jail was effected by the mob through this ruse. The men holding the supposed prisoner between them awakened Monday and told him that they had prds- oner from Gwinnett county whom they wished to deposit The sheriff unsuspect- edly opened the door, and the mob then shot Smith while he was in his cell.
 Hamipton's part was such that he saw the whole performance.

J|M|NEz Z HAS
 LEFT HAVANA
His Expedition to Be Fitted Out at Baracoa,
 Cuba.

Havana, August 17.-Colonel Baccalalo, chief of the police detectives, reported to General Ludlow shortly before o'clock tonight that General Jlminez was still in Havana. Unless he has returned this Is a nIis take, for the correspondent of the As- sociated Press saw him enter train this morning, and the train moved off with him on board.
 Up to 6 o'clock his departure was still unknown to a majority of the people of Havana, and at that hour two detectives were watching his house to learn the ex- act moment of his departure. A little later the Heraldo issued an extra announcing that he had gone. It appears that during the last few days General Jiminez has re- ceived American credits amounting to nearly a,OO0,0O0, which were much needed to further his plans.

Demange Made Many Points

M Demange made many happy points in putting questions to General Roget, who lodged them with presence of mind and address, and when in a corner, with cool impudence. Still, Roget had the ear of the court He knows how to speak to specialized military minds
 The evidence of M. Bertullus was on the whole favorable to Dreyfus in the judg- ment of civilian listeners Unfortunately his reputation is blown upon. He belonged when al Nice to the South railway gang, and the magistrate sent to investigate their swindle played into their hands Roget all luded to this and to other decisions of Der tllus, and showed that he did not respect him. M Bertullus is an epicurean, and has shocked Rennes people by his rather gay relations with a former actress, who some how rolls in riches. Still, he seems to be a fair and truthful witness and his depo- sition must affect the public
 Colonel Picquart will be heard again to- morrow
 M. Labori's assailant is still undiscov- cred. At convent of Marists at Cosson. near Rennes, the brothers vainly searched for him. This has won sympathy for the clerical party, as it was thought that a brother might shelter him. A hypothesis that seems near to the truth is that a sol dier who wore a suit of civilian clothing was told where to change for a uniform, which he could again adorn as soon as Labori was shot. can imagine a Breton soldier brimful of hatred to the Jew and "that traitor Dreyfus," taking his life in his hands and going resolutely to kill La bori EMILY CRAWFORD.

BY EMILY CRAWFORD


 Rennes August 17.-General Roget M Bertullus, the Investigating magistrate, the widow of the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry, and Colonel Henry, and Colonel Picquart were on the stand today. Mme Henry, after M Bertullus had deposed asked leave to speak. She stood up in a stagey manner, raised her left hand and said: "Jo demande la parole" q ask to be heard.) She wanted to contradict what Bertullus had said regarding the friend ship of her nuspand as,d Esterhazy. She would be a handsome Wom Tn ,li;l not the vulgarty of the drInking ho.se she orlgi- nally came frobl cling to her Subaltern officers revive around her, but Mercier and the other generals among whom she sits, seem embarrassed by her presence. What she said was a trade learned by heart and scarcely evidence It, however, was wide Of some points that Bertullus brought out. She wanted to show that Bertullus could not possibly have wrung an avowal from Henry; that he and Esterhazy formed an association of traitors Her story coincided with what General Roget said on this sub ject. So far from Bertullus appearing to suspect Henry and crushing the latter with words of suspicion. she said her hus- band had described that magistrate as charming" She said Bertulus even em- braced Henry when the latter was taking his leave, circumstance which struck the wife, when she heard of It. as being no good She jumped to the conclusion that falsehood lay behind the kiss and that Bertullus was Judas.
 This idea she then developed in a pas sionate perioration that seemed a lesson learned by heart.
 Mime. Henry was very like the late Mime. Agar, the actress, as she indulged in this pilece of dramatic vengeance.
 Bertullas Was GentlemanIy
 Bertullus felt that it would never do to argue with her, for tears were standing in her eyes and the judges were looking sympathetic. So he said that he preferred saying nothing to lady whose grief he re- spected and whose angry excitement he pardoned.
 General Roget again today showed extra ordinary forensic ability. I don't know what the military worth is of the generals who are acting here as witnesses, but I don't wonder at the old judges of the court of cessation being jealous of the argument
 
 i've capacity. their skill in turning case inside out. in puzzling inuendo, in casuistry and in elegant verbal facility.
 Mercier is wonderful in these respects. Billot is not inferior to him. but Roget is the superior of both in forensic skill, acumen and suggestiveness.
 Roget is a very able man. He is the son of a gendarme in the Pyrenes and obtained his commission by passing the examina- tions He is fair rather English-looking. regular in features and cool and deliberate in manner. He speaks distinctly and rather slowly but does not fall into the defect in which Mme. Henry fell of msk- ing every syllable long ona
 Dreyfus was under Roget as an outsider at the general staff and seemed tired by his arguments and the points she made, points that went home to the military judges and were intended to poison their

 Previous to the opening of the proceed ings it became known that Maitre Labori, leading counsel for Dreyfus, who was shot in the back from ambush Monday, was slightly worse today.

confident of reaching latitude ST or Ss, if not the pole itself.
 Succession of Disasters
 Then began a succession of disasters. MT. Wellman, while leading the party, fell into a snow-covered crevasse, seriously in- turing one of his legs and compelling a re- treat.
 Two days later the party were aroused at midnight by an ice quake under them due to pressure. In few moments many dogs were crushed and the sleds destroy ed. Tho members of the expedition nar- rowly escaped with their lives, though they managed to save their precious sleep ing bags and some dogs and provisions. Mir. Wellman's condition becoming alarm ing as inflammation set in, the brave Nor wegians dragged him on a sled by forced marches nearly 200 miles to headquarters, arriving there early last April. MT. We'll man is still unable to walk and will prob ably be permanently crippled.
 After reaching headquarters other mem- bers of the expedition explored the regions hitherto unknown, and important scientific work was done by Lieutenant Ed Baldwin of the United States weather bureau, pr. Edward Hoffman of Grand Haven, Mich, and A Harlan of the United States coast survey.
 The expedition killed forty-seven bears and many walruses.
 The Capella arrived at Cape Tegethof in search of the expedition on July q last. On August she met the Stella Polar bear ing the expedition headed by Prince Luigi, Duke of Abruzzi, which has sailed from Archangel to reconnotre northwest Of Franz Josef land and to meet. if possible. the Wellman expedition. MT. Wellman and his companions found no trace in Franz Josef land of the missing aaronaut, Pro- lessor Andre.

Tromsoe, Island of Tromsoe, Norway, August 17.-Walter Wellman and the sur vivors of the Polar expedition, led by him, arrived here this evening on the steamer Capella, having successfully completed their explorations in Franz Josef land. pr. Wellman has discovered new lands and many islands,
 The expedition brings a grim story of Arctic tragedy. In the autumn of 1898 an outpost called Fort Mckinley was estab- lished in latitude S1. It was a house built of rocks and roofed over with walrus hides. It was built by two Norwegians, Paul Bjorvig and Bert Bentzen, the latter of whom was with Nanzen on the Fran, and they remained there. The main party win tered in canvass-covered hut called Harmsworth House at Cape Tegethoff. on the southern point of Halls island, latitude so. About the middle of February, before the rise of the sun to its winter zenith, MT. Wellman, with three Norwegians and forty-fiye dogs, started north. It was the earliest sled journey on record in that high latitude
 On reaching Fort Mckinley Mir. We'll man found Bentsen dead, but Biorivg, ac- cording to promise, had kept the body in the house, sitting beside it through two months of arctic darkness. Notwithstand- ing his terrible experience, the survivor was safe and cheerful.
 Pushing northward through rough ice and severe storms, with a continuous tenn perature for ten days between forty and fifty degrees below zero, the party found new lands north of Freedom island where Nantzen landed in 1895.
