No Won lei He Fled.

A tall, solemn looking young man
entered the restaurant with n mild,
apologize air and seated himself at
a vacant table near the middle Of the

That young mans face was a serial

WHO THE "VEILED LADY" is
By Whom Fsterhazy Fooled the
Courts and Saved His Bacon.

! New York, April 29.-The Journal says:
| The identity of THE Yelled Lady, of the
Dreyfus case Is now fully known. She is
Madame Pays, the friend of Commandant
Esterhazy, the worst villain the Dreyfus
case has produced. For months The
Yelled Lady" was the sensation of France.
THE Yelled Lady was the central figure
in an extraordinarily melodramatic mar
rative concocted by Esterhazy to save him.
self. Colonel Picquart discovered that Es-
terhazy, and not Dreyfus, was the writer
of the bordereau that convicted the latter
When Picquart made this accusation the
military authorities, however unwilling.
were obliged to put Esterhazy on trial.
Colonel du Patty de Clam, of the general
staff, and Colonel Henry then aided Ester
haZy IN a conspiracy TO prove his inno-
Cence. Esterhazy went on the stand and
swore than when he was threatened with
disgrace through Picquart's accusation,
The Yelled Lady gave him document
which proved Drsyfus' guilt and therefore
Esterhazys innocence. This was the scrap
of paper beginning ''Cette Canaille de D."
Esterhazy explained that Picquart had
stolen this document from the general
staff, that THE Yelled Lady was a dear
friend of Picquart, that she was struck
with pity for Esterhazy and stole from
Picquart the document TO prove his inno-
cence. Here IS an extract from the report
of Esterhazys testimony: He got a tel
egram praying him to be at 1850 p. m.
behind the paIisade of the Alexandra III.
bridge. on the Invalides side OF the Seine.
A person, it said, wished 10 give him very
interesting information which concerned
him. The commandant went TO the place
mentioned and found in a carriage a lady,
who began by making him swear to re-
spect her incognito. He pledged his honor,
whereupon the unknown lady. whom the
press had designated the 'veiled lady de-
tailed to him at length the manuevers
of those whom she called the gang Az
ter that there followed three interviews,
all held under the veil Of discretion, some
times behind the Church of the Sacre
Couer, sometimes at Montsouris. In the
course Of the second visit the unknown
lady gave sealed letter to her interlocu-
tor and said: Take the document con-
tanned in this envelope; It proves your in
nocence and If the torchon burns hesitate
not to use it On the 14th of November
the accused, being advised to that effect,
did not hesitate to part with the decoment
liberateur by sending it to the minister
OF war, intrusting Loyalty to his chief the
care Of defending his threatened honor"
Now we know that THE Yelled Lady"
was no other than Madame Pays, who
made all Of these varied appearances at
Esterhazy's command. His story was
fully equal IN interest and improbability
to a dime novel, but it served to persuade
a French court-martial Of the guilt of
Dreyfus and of that hgh-minded and pub
lie spirited soldier, Colonel Picquart. and
Of the innocence of the scoundrel Ester
hazy.

DENUNCIATION OF LYNCHING
DIR. Siiverman Thinks the General
Government should Act.

government snOuIu act.
New York. April 29.-The Rev. DR..
Joseph Silverman CHebrew) preached to-
day in the Temple Emanuel on the sub
ject Of Modern Barbarism." He began
by briefly relating the recent lynchings
in Georgia and then said in part: What
an awful and sorry spectacle our country
thus presents 10 the student OF history
and to the world at large. Here, we have
been protesting against the barbarities Of
the Spanish government and have carried
on war in the name of humanity and
justice. while within our own borders such
nameless torture and terrible persecution
are permitted to hold sway. There is
something radically wrong with the ma
chinery Of our government when the mere
recital OF a few doggerel verses at a pri-
vate banquet can stir up the feelings OF
two nations. and the interest of the word
can be made the matter of even brief
diplomatic interview and the subject Of a
cabinet session, while this wanton. brutal
torture and slaughter of men without trial
is brushed aside by the president Of the
United States as a matter with which the
national government has no concern.
When the state officers connive at the
butchery practiced under their own jur-
isdiction and indirectly condone this man
ifest violation of law and order and the
national government is still silent then II
is time for the people 10 rise up and de-
mand an investigation into these horrors
OF summary execution. If the state au-
thorities are incapable Of putting down
lynch law and forcing respect for regular
proceedings then some way ought 10 be
found for instituting a congressional in
vestigation into these barbaric practices
and for providing remedial legislation. as
was done in respect to the Klu-KIux I'm
mediately after the civil war"
