BY A NEW YORK MOB

liceman O'Keefe From Guard
of Police

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Michael FARRELL,
the Italian saloon-keeper, who shot Po-
Hceman Patrick O'Keefe yesterday when
the latter was about to arrest him for
violating the excise law, made an attempt
to escape from the two detectives by try
ing to jump from an elevated train plat
form. He was held, screaming and ours
ing. In front of the Courthouse q crowd
of about 1000 persons had gathered and
when the prisoner appeared there were
cries of XIII him. Lynch him. from
all sides. A rush was made for FARRELL
and 1t required the strenuous efforts of
a dozen court officials to clear passage
for the italian to the courtroom
Farrell, when arraigned, denied the
charge against him and said that O'Keefe
had been shot by Guiseppi Ferriolie He
was remanded in order to allow the Of
ficers TO make an investigation Mrs
Farrell also was remanded for examina-
ton
1t was said in court that FarreIli was at
one !ime resident Of New Orleans and
was member of the Malta. His saloon
in New Orleans. it was said, was the
headquarters of the gang and it was there
that the plot to assassinate Chief of Po-
lice HEM essey was hatched.

aust declined to allow him to press the
matter home in the way he wished, pc
came extremely indignant and protested
with considerable warmth against Col
onel Jouc lists veto OF his queSuonS.
This caused a little scene between COL
onel Jouaust and NJ. Labor; Finally,
the latter asked why certain dispatch
from the French ambassador at Rome
relative to the payment OF money 10

agent had not been included IN the secret

Commandant Cuignet then came to the
bar and declared that he had omitted all
documents from abroad, because Tor,

Commandant Cuignet added that another
dispatch existed, relating to conversa-
ton between a foreign sovereign and
French military attache, in the course
of which the sovereign said:
What is now occurring in France is
proof of the powers of the Jews"
This dispatch, said Cuignet, although
against Dreyfus, was also omitted from

ant Cuignet turned to a brother officer,

nesses, and smiled with the self-satisfed
air of man who had made a distinct
score.
NM Demange and Labori Immediately
arose and expressed surprise that fresh
evidence against Dreyfus should be in
troduced in this way. NJ Labori also
expressed curiosity respecting these doc
uments concerning espionage which were
being held back bV the general staff and
he insisted that all these documents
should be submitted to the court behind
closed doors.
The question of the reports drawn up
by Commandant Cuignet and Officer Kat
tines dealing exhaustively with the secret
dossier, was then introduced, and Cen
eral Billot arose to explain that the state
ment was inexact that he took this re-
port away with him.

Meanwhile the testimony of a couple
of minor witnesses was heard. The pro-
ceedings described in the foregoing were
exciting as at one time when General
Chanoine and M. Paleologue were brought
upon the stage to explain Commandment
Cuignets statements there were five wit
nesses at the bar, all speaking at once,

heated scenes between NJ. Labori and
Colonel JouauSt.

precincts of the Lycee, and 1t was de-

glaring instance of duplicity on the part
of the staff in suppressing documents
which must weaken its own case. Com
missary Tomps was called to the general
staff office to investigate the espionage,
and naturally had consultations and close
relations with officers of the bureau.
COmmisSary Tomps began his testimony
by paying a high tribute to Lieutenant
Colonel Picquart's correct attitude and
uprightness in the Dreyfus inquiry while
other officers sought to undermine him
by insinuations. Lieutenant Colonel
Henry, the witness asserted, tried to
induce him to attribute to Picquart the
communication of the bordereau to the
Matin. in which journal, 1t will be re-
lished. Then Commissary. Tomps came
to the most important portion of his tes-

DREYFUS DENOUNCED BY
AN AUSTRIAN REFUGEE
Fifth Week of the Court Martial at
Rennes Opens With a SEN
SatiOD

RENNES, Sept. 4.-As the end Of the
Dreyfus trial comes within sight the
French Government is beginning to display
fears that the verdict may give rise to
troubles, and orders have just been re-
ceived by two regiments of infantry and
one cavalry regiment, already within hall
of Rennes to hold themselves in readiness
to march on the town at the first sign of
disorder, to occupy all strategic points
and repress all manifestations in their
inception.
Local anti-Dreyfusard organizations, by
their anti-foreign articles. have already
singled out foreigners as enemies of the
country. and there Is little doubt that
foreign journalists will be the first VIC
tins Of the violence of the mob-not so
much Anglo-Saxons as Austrian. German
and Russian Jews. who form a majority
Of the press representation of their re-
spective countries.
To-day's session opened rather badly for
Dreyfus, as a surprise was sprung upon
the defense in the advent of an Austrian
political refugee, Eugene Cernuschi, who
came out with a f1atfooted denunciatiop
of the accused, which, even though it may
eventually be proved pure fairy tale, Is
bound for the moment to exercise ma
lignant influence upon the French people,
who have not seen Cernuschi and are thus
man who launched these direct accusa-
tions against Captain Dreyfus.
Cernuschi's appearance is undeniably
against him. Nobody even suspects that
he is what he claims to be. scion of the
royal Servian house. On the contrary
one would take him to be a groom dressed
in his best Sunday suit. 1t was remarked
that as soon as he had delivered his testi-
mony and NJ. Labor had asked to have
him put on oath at to-morrows session
behind closed doors, in order that he
might be punished If guilty Of perjury he

NAPA SILENT
Will Not Explain the
Henneman Case.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NAPA, Sept, 4-The authorities of the
Napa Insane Asylum are either unable or
dis1nclined to explain the d1sagreeable
revelation made in the case of Mrs. Mary
Henneman, the unfortunate woman who
was found wandering aimlessly last Fri
day night and arrested in Oakland. The
woman is in a delicate condition and at
tributed her misfortune to some one con-
nected in an official capacity with the
asylum. The asylum authorities scout
the woman's charge as preposterous but
in doing so they admit that disgracefully
negligent conditions. attend the admission
of women to the asylum.
DR.. Dosier, who has charge OF the fe-
male ward Of the insane asylum here,
says he knows nothing of the particulars
throw no light that will prove the truth
or falsity of her accusation. 1t appears
that the asylum authorities take no ade-
quate precautions TO learn the physical
condition of women admitted as patients.
The officers thus lay themselves open to
serious consequences, such as the pres
ent affair. The authorities Of the asylum
also show very little care in ascertaining
the character of persons to whom dis
charged patients are given over upon
their release.
The present case is an example. On
May 13, 1899, Mrs. Mary Henneman was
received into the Napa Insane Asylum
COOK OF San Francisco. The complaint
was filed by the womans husband who
declared that the woman began to show
signs of mental alteration about two
years ago at the time when her younger
child was born; that she is dangerously
violent at times, threatening life and
complaining that her husband had sold
the furniture of their home; that on sew
eral occasions she put on her husbands
clothes and wandered about the streets"
A few weeks later her husband took an
entirely different view of the situation
and of the condition of his wife. At his
instance Mrs. Henneman was DISCHARGED
