1T WAS FOR REVENGE.
Herman Hundhauscn Confesses TO the
Murder Of Richard Koelier. the Missouri
Boy, which Occurred In Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-In the presence OF
Chief Of Police Ripley and Inspector
Shea, and before notary public, Her
man Hundhausen, who with Richard
Honeck was arrested late Saturday
night charged with murder Of Richard
Koeller. their former schoolmate, made
n full con fession of the crime. Revenge
and not jealousy of woman, accord
ing to Hrndhausen, was the motive
and the stabbing was done by Honeck
with the knife found by the police in
his grip. Several years ago series OF
incendiary fires had occurred In Her
mann, Mo-, and other neighboring
towns and Hundhausen and Honeck
were arrested and put on trial. Koeller
1t Is said, testified at the time to the ef-
feet that the two were implicated and
largely on his testimony convictions
were secured. They swore to have
revenge on Koeller. The murder was
planned some time ago.

DREYFUS IS A MASON.
The Famous Prisoner Known 70 He Mem
ber OF the Secret Order and 1t May
Prejudice His Case.

Rennes, Sept. 5.--The anti-Dreyfus
press of Paris seem TO think they struck
a vital blow with the defense when
they printed proofs that Dreyfus is n
freemason. This charge has frequent
ly been made by the Catholic press,
which is equally bitter against Drey-
fus and the masons; but up to now
proof has been lacking. Yesterday,
however, some one furnished La Patrie
with copy of the official report of the
Supreme Masonic Council Of France for
1898, wherein Dreyfus appears as hav-
ing taken the thirty-second degree.
The idea is that this will influence the
Catholic judges, two at least of whom
are very active partisans of their faith.
There is no doubt that this is more or
less true,
