Evidence OF Suicide Not Substantlated by
Her Statement to the Magistrate Carbonic
Gas From the Pipes Of Stove-Analysis
Shows Presence Of Carbonic Acid In Blood.

Paris (By Cable).-Emile Zola, the
famous novelist, who gained additional
prominence in recent years because OF
his defense OF Captain Drcyfus. was
found dead in his Paris home Monday
morning.
Asphyxiation resulting from the
fumes from stove in his bedroom Is
given as the cause of death.
NJ. lola and his wife had retired at
10 p. NJ. Nine. Zola was found
seriously i'll when the room was broken
into in the morning. About noon she
was removed to a private hospital, where
she recovered consciousness for snort
time and wa. able briefly to explain to
magistrate what had happened.
The couple had returned to Paris
from their country house at Medan the
day before. Owing to sudden spell OF
cold weather the heating stove in their
bedroom was ordered to be lighted. Inc
stove burned badly and the pipes arc
said to have been out OF order.
To the magistrate Nine. Zola said that
she awoke early in the morning with
splitting headache. She awakened her
husband and asked him to open a WIN
dow He rose and attempted to move,
toward a window, but staggered ana
fell to the floor unconscious. Nine:
Zola tainted at this same moment. and
was therefore unable to give the alarm.
The servants of the Zola household,
not hearing any movement in their
masters apartment, entered the bedroom
at o. 40 o'clock and found the novelist
lying with his head and shoulders on
the floor and his legs on the bed.
Doctors were summoned, but they tail
ed to rcsuscitatc him.
A Slight odor of carbonic gas was
noticed when the servants broke into
the bedroom. From the position OF NJ
Zolas body it was evident that he had
tried to rise, but had been overcome
bv the fumes from the stove. The ser.
wants opened the bedroom windows and
sen, ior physicians. A commissary OF
police was also summoned
1t was reported later that there were
evidences OF suicide in the death OF NJ.
Zola. Nothing has so far developed to
-,bstantiats this theory. and the state
rcnt made by Nine. Zola to the mag
istratc seems to disprove 1t. NJ. lola

household ate OF the same dishes.

CHAPTER XXIII.

IT was the police sergeant who had
taken Nell Clars to Sir Neville BaX
who had brought to Shingle End the
warrant for Miss Bostal's arrest This
warrant he had not. so far, had an op-
portunity of showing to the Colonel.
Now, however, that the lady had dis
appeared, and it had become necessary
to search the place, and more thor
oughly, the sergeant respectfully
turned to the old gentleman to inform
the latter of the authority by which he
acted
Colonel Bostal, divining the mans
intention, made gesture of horror,
and without staying either to hear the
mans explanation or to look at the
warrant, retreated hastily into the
house.
Clifford, however, caught sight Of the
paper in the officers hands. and some
thing of the truth was suddenly re-
vealed to him. 1t flashed upon him SO
abruptly, this knowledge, that the,
shock turned him sick and giddy. It
was some minutes before he could ask,
in hoarse and tremulous voice:
rs that warrant?"
"Yes, sir"
"For whom"
'Miss Bostal"
And the policeman continued his
search about the garden and the house
for the lady who had SO mysteriously
disappeared.
''Then it is - Miss Bostal - whom
George Claris wants to see?
The innkeeper, who had now sub
sided into stolid silence and tran
guilty, was watching the front door
of the house. 1t was Hemming, who
answered:
"Yes, sir. He's not quite himself
yet, but he's not too far off 1t to have
been of use to us. We've had him un.

There was pause. Then Nell whis-

Yes"
"When was it?"

Sir Neville laid down the pen which
he had been holding, clasped his hands
and looked over his writing-table at
her with an air Of evaporation.
Now, my dear girl, why on earth
didn't you tell the coroner that?'
II couldn't have told them that in
my answers to their questions" replied
Nell, earnestly. Don't you remember
that all they asked me was whether
had been outside the house, not wheth.
er l had heard anybody else go in or
out?"
Sir Neville did remember. Tie asked
one moro question.
Il have heard a report that canvas
bag containing the money collected

that true"

an air of relief at having finished the
odious recital.

he rose to ring the bell. "And now

But Nell refused to go to be shown
of in the drawing groom. refused even
TO have glass of wine or n cup OF tea
brought to her in the study before she
went. She was white, trembling, mis-
crahlc. But she felt that she wanted
to be alone, to cry her eyes out Mt the
terrible fact that she had been forced
at last to assist the justice which she
would have diverted from the Grim
inal if she could. One question, how.
ever, she had to put in her turn before
she left the presence Of the magistrate.
They will bring it in that she was
mad. of course, will they not!' she
asked. anXiOusly, but with an attempt
to appear quite sure of his answer.
Sir Neville's answer was not rcas.
