DRrsDES,. Feb. 1.-The special tribunal
Of Saxon Court Judges appointed to hear
the evidence in the divorce suit Of the Crown
Prince against his wife, Princess Louise
announced It's decision at 40 O'Clock this
afternoon. which is textually as follows
In the Name Of the King
THE marriage concluded in November,
1901. between Prince Friedrich August Of
Saxony and the Princess Louise Antoinette
OF Tuscany is legally dissolved. The
Princess was accused and proved to
have committed a breach OF her mar.
riage vow with a teacher Of languages
known az Andre Giron and accordingly
Ii convicted and condemned TO bear all
the costs OF this process.
This decision Is In pursuance OF Section
l.sss Of the Civil Code.
I'm the Name Of the Lao"
The verdict has caused great sensation
here. Among the witnesses present as
experts we're DR.. Leopold. director Of the
Dresden Obetetric Hospital, and Dr. Fielder
the physician t. the King Of Saxony.
the Crown Princess's Mistress Of the Robes.
who first discovered her liatson with Giron;
the Baroness Won Fritsch and Court Marshal
Won Tuempling.
The sittings Of the court were held In
private and no outsiders we're admitted.
Great crowds were outside the building
awaiting the decision.
As both parties are Roman Catholics
they cannot under the canonical law be
divorced. but it ia hoped that the Pope.
to whom the verdict was telegraphed. will
grant a special dispensation for the disso-
luton Of the marriage.
The fact that Giron has returned to
Geneva is being widely discussed. It Is
suggested that he Is preparing to make
some sensat tional move, such as abducting &
the Princess from the sanat orium where
she Ii at present.
LONDON, Feb. 1i.-Despatches from Berlin
and Vienna say that Andre Giron. the para
mour OF the Crown Princess Of Saxony,
has returned to Geneva. 1t Is supposed
that the object Of his visit Is TO confer with
NJ. Bachenal. one Of the attorneys for the
Crown Princess. in regard to her deten-
ton in a natorium.
The impression Is becoming general in
Germany that the Crown Princess Louise
has entered on the first stage Of lifelong
Incarceration. or at least seclusion.
According to kilograms from Brussels.
Giron. before his departure. applied for

GENEVA, Feb. I'm. Giron arrived

PARIS. feb. 1.-THE members Of the
humber family. who are charged with
gigantic swindles In connection with the
Crawford Millions" made their first public
appearance in the courts to-day to answer
a charge Of malicious libel brought by
M. Cattaui, a banker.
In September, 1901. the Humberts. after
obtaining series Of loans from NJ Cattaui,
sued him for usury. NJ. Vale. who is now
Minister OF Justice. was counsel for NJ.
Cattaui, who was acquitted. This case in
directly led to the opening OF the safe that
was supposed TO contain the Crawford
securities and the fight Of the Humberts.
Nine. Humbert has since frequently &C :
cused M. Cattaui Of usury. alleging that
he exacted 81 and In some cases 800 and 400
per cent. interest.
She repeated her assertions in court to-
day, adding that she would speak more
freely when the great trial began. She
would not content herself by saying that
NJ. Cattaui ought to he in prison instead Of
herself. He was the cause OF all her mis-
fortunes and the harm she had done hor
friends. The thought of this made her
weep day and night. Except for NJ. Cat
taui, she said. the Humberts would be able
to hold up their heads again for nothing
Is irreparable to people who live honestly
in the heart Of the people.
Toe court room was packed and the
audience gave vent to ironical exclamations
when they heard this homily from the
prisoner.
Frederic Humbert. while testifying.
violently attacked NJ. Cattaui and others.
including prominent politicians. He pro-
ceeded to criticise NJ. Vale. when the pre-
siding Judge promptly stopped him, for
bidding him to discuss the Minister.
The he caring was adjourned
