presented In a dramatic aspect today
when the French officials took De Ryd-
zewsM to the scene of the occurrence
and compelled him to re-enaot every de-
tail Of the affair, this being done under
the practice OF the French law which
requires the reconstruction of the trag-
edy IN the presence Of officials under
exactly the same conditions as 1t was
originally enacted.
The chamber was arranged as on the
night OF the fatality and the same
weapon was placed in De Rydzewski's
hand to act out his version. AS far as

dressed, while Mrs, Gore was seated at
the foot Of the bed her legs hanging
down on the side nearest the wall and
her head thrown backward on the fea-
Their quilt which had been rolled to
form a cushion. Wishing to take some
thing from the night table, he said, he
knocked Off the revolver, which went
of, and the bullet struck Mrs, Gore In
the face.
AS the bullet was found buried In the
hair Of the victim, II Is impossible to
verify the direction taken by the mis-
slle otherwise than by the wound. As
a result Of today's examination the ex-
aiming magistrate has decided to set
De Rydzewski at liberty Professionally.
Before the party left the house NJ. Ber-
! tillion, the crlminologist, who is also
investigating the case on behalf Of the
police, arrived and took several photo
| graphs OF the ROOM after asking De
| RydaewsN to place everything IN exact
ly the same position II occupied at the
moment Of the tragedy. 1t is reported
that as he did this De Rydzewski
eyinced considerable emotion. He af-
| terward left in cab, escorted by two
| policemen, who conducted him to the
prison, where the necessary formallties
attending his discharge from custody
were completed.
AT the same time, the case has as
sumed an international aspect by the
action of Consul General Gowdy IN fol-
lowing out the instructions Of the state
department at Washington and APP
pointing committee, composed Of four
American doctors residing in Paris, TO
conduct an independent post-mortem
examination.
