 Floor and Fired.

Paris, November 4.-The Gore tragedy was presented in a dramatic aspect today when the French officials took De- Rydzewslxi to the scene of the murder and compelled him to re-enact every de- tail of the affair, this being done under the practice of the T. c..oI law, which re- quires the reconstruction of the tragedy in the presence of officials in exactly the same condition as 1t was originally enact- ed.
 The chamber was arranged as on the night of the fatality and the same weapon was placed in DeRydzewskis hand to act out his version. As far as known the prisoner went through the ordeal with out wavering from his first story of the accidental fall of the revolver.
 DeRydzewslSi re-enacted the final scene, giving complete details as to the positions of Mrs. Gore and himself. He said that he was lying on the bed, fully 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 backwards on the feather quilt, which had been rolled for cushion. Wishing to take something from the night table,
 
 he said, he knocked off the revolver which went off and the bullet struck Mrs. Gore in the face.
 As the bullet was found buried in the hair of the victim 1t is impossible to veri- fly the direction taken by the missile other than by the wound As a result of today's examination the examining magistrate has decided to set DeRydzew- ski at liberty provisionally. Before the party left the house M Bertillon, the criminologist, who is also Investigating the case in behalf of the police. arrived and took several photographs of the room after asking DeRydzewsM to place every- thing in exactly the same position 1t oc- cupied at the moment of the tragedy. It is reported that DeRydzewski evinced considerable emotion. He afterwards left in a cab escorted by two police, being conducted to the prison, where the neces- sary formalities attending his discharge from custody were completed. The case has assumed an international aspect by the action of Consul General Gowdy in following out the instructions of the state department at Washington and appointing a commission composed of four American doctors residing in Paris to conduct an independent post mortem examination.

He gives some additional de- tails regarding the reconstruction of the of he f~aer adx Ilr acted the part of Mrs. Gore, sitting on the bed in the position indicated by the prisoner. It was in taking his card case from the night table that DeRydzewski knocked off the revolver, the heavy butt of which struck the floor. The medical expert and the armorer, M. Gastinne Bennett, both testified that the investiga- tion did not justify in contradicting De- Rydzewskis version of the affair. The examining magistrate then addressed the prisoner, saying:
 Tt is well; you are free"
 Maitre Cruppi refused to give the whereabouts of his client asserting that the Russian speaks French so badly that he might be misinterpreted if he were in- terviewed and he therefore prefers to keep silent.
