IDENTITY OF THE YELLED LADY

Atlanta, Ga., August 31.-The Jewish Sentiment, in its regular weekly edition tomorrow afternoon, will print story bearing with almost startling directness on the Dreyfus trial. Several statements, ap- parently new to the now celebrated case, are given, together with the names of those who are said to be in possession of information which will throw new light on the trial. For the first time, it is believed, the mode of carrying the documents from the French war office to the German gov ernment Is given. It shows that dolls were used as the means of conveyance, and that the papers went first to England and then to Germany. The identity of the ''veiled lady, is also made known.
 The story which the Sentiment will print comes from a man who was employed sey eral years ago by the German government as document translator and maker of relief maps, and who, after quitting Ger many, served in the United States army during the war with Spain. He shows his discharge papers, which denote that he was a staff officer. The informer says that he was born in Denver, Colo. The story, after some introductory remarks, reads:
 The Officers Story
 "I was translator" said he, ''of docu- ments at the Great Stan headquarters at Koniggratzer Strasse No. g, Berlin. I never heard the name of Dreyfus men tioned in connection with Feench war office merchandise shipped to the above address via Belgium and London. l translated the information regarding gun No. 120. The original document never left the French of bn given out through the direct agency or con- nivance of chief of department. Dreyfus was unknown at the German secret service bureau, in person or by name from 1890 to 1894. This l most solemnly affirm. The plans, specifications and details of gun No. 120 of the Robin shell and of the French war vessels Jaureguibery, Charles Martel and Lazar Garnot, together with the plans for mobilization were purchased through Germany's embassy in Paris presided over by Prince Hans Heinrich Pless and as much as $16,0O0 American money was sent by postofice money order and telegraph in payment for the 'merchandise These payments were made in two parts through MT. Franz, a doll manufacturer of Sonne- burg, Germany, and Alvin Florschuetz, bank director of Sonneburg. The medium of women was employed in transacting the business
 Had Met Esterhazy
 "I met Count Esterhazy several times in person at dinners given by Baroness de Delden, who was Esterhazy's sweetheart. He furnished much of the information. These documents were never received at the embassy-always at church, a public function or a dinner party The French spies were always on the alert and only through such means could their watchful ness be circumvented.
 Ut was insisted that I should become a naturalized citizen of Germany, which I rejected, and aroused perjudice against myself by the refusal. War having been declared by the United States against Spain, I wanted to come home and en- t for my country, which l did as you may ascertain from these papers"
 He then presented full complement of credentials proving his honorable connec- tion and discharge from the United States army.
 ''I did not feel that I could gracefully give out this information while connected with either the German secret service or the American army What was the last incident that you recall which bears on the traffic in this French war merchandise?
 "Captain Siege insisted upon his agents no longer communicating with him direct, and emphatically instructed them to ad- dress him through MT. Franz in Some burg. The order was prompted by the in- crease in the watchfulness of the French government spies."
 The Ba aronness De Relden
 Baroness de Delden was the sweetheart of Prince Henry Pless. She eloped with the prince some years ago, leaving her husband and family. After tiring of her, Count Esterhazy fell heir to her affections and she has aided him ma materially in gain ing information for market. The baroness is the party referred to in the Dreyfus trial as the yelled lady She receives from Prince Pless a regular pension. Every six months remittances are made annony- mously to Baroness de Delden through the credit lyonnaise in Paris It Is well known at tine German headquarters staff that the amounts are forwarded by Prince Henry Pless The credit lyonnase is innocent of the purpose for which the money is used. I mention this fact because the records of the bank will corroborate my state ments. I am also in position to name the postoffice in England where the money was paid to the agents of Germany employed in France.
 MT Franz used to send dolls to Paris to be dressed. In the body of these dolls im- portant documents Were concealed and they were sent first to village postoffice in England, forwarded from there to Son. neburg and then to Berlin.
 q have given in brief the important facts bearing upon the purchase of French war merchandise. If investigation is made a verification of my statements will be pro- nounced."
