OF the old Stenton mansion, 18Th street
and Washington avenue, 10 the Bronx,

that man suspected from the begin
ming will be arrested. Mrs. Shippo,
the Italian woman who occupied tho
basement of the mansion, has given dam
aging testimony. She said that few
days after the murder Mrs. Marie Pc
rome, of 10th street and avenue A, told
her that man at that address wanted tn
see her about the murder. She went
there and met man who said that
be was Michael Scudo, This man, she
said, professed to be acting for lawyer
and offered to give her money il she
would go to Italy so as not to be called
as a witness. Burton w. Gibson, who
has figured in the case as the former
legal adviser of both Mrs. Kinnan and
Mrs. StentoD, will be called to the stand
during todsy's session of the inquest.
Gibson, it is understood, will endeavor
to establish his whereabouts on the night
of the murder. Several witnesses have
been subpoenaed who are expected to
testify on this point. From the first the
lawyer has claimed he was not near the
Stepton mansion on the night that Mrs.
Kinnsn met her death. aud he will en-
deaVOr to prove his claim today.

The Dreyfus Case,

Paris, July 13.--The government this
morning presented to the Chamber of
Deputies the measures providing for The
promotion of Captain Dreyfns, whose
innocence of the charge OF selling French
military secrets 10 Germany was estab-
lished by the decision of the Court of
Cessation yesterday, and of Colonel
Picquart, the staunch supporter of Drey-
fus, who was expelled from the army
because Of his defense of the condemned
official. Dreyfus, under the plau OF the
government, will be promoted TO major,
aud Colonel Picquart will be made a
brigadier general. A further honor
proposed for Dreyfus is bis election to
the Legion OF Honor. The measure
providing for the rehabilitation of the
two officers and their promotion were
referred to the army committee. 1t is
the plan of the government to have them
voted upon this afternoon.
The army commission to which the
Dreyfus and Picquart promotion meas
ures were referred, unanimously approx
ed them. The commission consists of
members of parliament appointed to
consider all questions relating to the
army.
When the bill reinststing Dreyfus to
his former standing in the army and Of
fering him promotion came before the
chamber, it passed by vote of 479, to
to AZ. No one opposed the measure Oh
the floor. The bill in favor of Colonel
Picquart, however, met with opposition,
several orators representing the right
speaking against it.
An Interpolation offered by Der uty
Pressenz in which he attacked Generals
Mercier, sOisderfer and Come and Col

stand they took against Dreyfus, stirred
up hot fight and in the excitement NJ.

Anti-American Organization.

New Orleans. July lS.-ln many OF
the remote towns in Mexico posters have
been put up at the instigation of power
full secret society of Mexican labOrers
warning all Americans to leave the
country before September 4. This in
formation was brought here last night
by +. A. Sturdevsnt, a representative of
the Mexican Central Railroad. He says
that the recent outbreak near the border
in which a number of Americans we're
killed by Mexican miners, was only the
beginning OF trouble which threatens to
extend throughout Mexico and result in
the death OF many Americans in the out
lying provinces.
According b Sturdevant this society has
been forming for six months or more and
now seems to be widespread. Skilled
leaders, antagonistic to the policy OF
President Disz in his friendliness to
American interests, have appealed to the
racial prejudice OF the lowest order OF
laborers, representing to them that tbs
only way in which they can save their
country from absorption by the United
States is to organize and drive all Amer
leans from the country.

Killed BY His sister,

George Mitchell, youth who recently
shot and killed Franz Edmund Crefield,
"Holy Roller prophet" and was ac-
quilted of the charge Of murder on a
plea OF insanity, yesterday was shot and
killed by his sister, Esther, in the Seat
tie, Wash, Union station.
Esther Mitchell joined the "Holy
Rollers" sect at Corvallis, Ore, and was
one of the most ardent of Crefiield's fol-
lowers. When her brother pursued the
leader OF the "Holy Rollers" to Seattle
and shot him in the street he pleaded In
justification that Creffield had deuded
and wronged his sister.
George Mitchell was acquitted OF the
charge of murder on Tuesday, and nearly
all of the following day he spent in
searching for Esther in Seattle lodging
houses. She refused to be comfOrted
after the death OF Creffield.
Ester Mitchell had agreed to see her
three brothers of to their home in Ore
gon. The Mitchell brothers, George.
Perry aud Fred, were sitting with Esther
on bench 10 the station waiting-rOom
talking, apparently on the best Of terms.
When the Oregon train was announced
George Mitchell rose and started for
the door. His sister stepped to his side,
and, pointing a revolver at bis bead
fred a shot before anyone else in the
room realized what was happening.
Miss Mitchell was arrested shortly
after her brother fell. She had refused
to have anything to, do with her broih her
since be shot lrefieid to avenge Cref-
fields treatment of Miss Mitchell. Yes
lerdsy was the 6rst time the brother
and sister had been seen together on
apparently good terms.
Ga Wednesday night Charles Nit
chel, the father, and his daughter,
Esther, reached reconciliation, the
girl for seVera days having refused to
see even her father. Hearing that he
was about to return OF his home in
Illinois, she consented TO see him, all
he family being present xcept George.

ThaW,s Trial,

New York, July 13.-Harry Thaw
will be tried for the murder of Stanford
White on October in the Court of Gen
eral Sessions. Subpoenss have been is
sued by the District Attorneys Office
calling for the attendance of the States
witnesses on that date. Officials Of the
District Attorneys office say they have
sufficient evidence to convict Thaw OF
murder in the first degree. The District
Attorney will endeavor to show that
Thaw rlanned the crime long before that
fatal night on the Madison Square roof
garden. Thaw was jealous of Whites
attentions and relations to Miss Nesbit
before she had finally married him and
out OF revenge and pique he shot and
killed the architect, according to the
States view of the actuatiDg motive.
Spoiled as a child, and allowed to have
his own way in everything which made
il possible TO 60 to any ends with his
vast fortune to satisfy any desire, Harry
Thaw found in Stamford White, one
who baked him on more than one occa-
sion aud whose influence at times was
great enough to control the direction OF
the life of Miss Nesbit, with whom
Thaw was msdly infatuated. rhaw
never could forgive White for the in
iuence he swayed over Miss Nesbit, and
though White never came into the life of
Evelyn Nesbit after her marriage the
young man nurtured bitter jealousy
against the architect, which several of.
ficials of the District Attorneys think,
was cultivated by Mrs. Thsw.
1t is related among the numerous
stories floating around about the case
that the defense will endeavor to show
that Harry Thaw hired detectives to
follow White on the belief that White
bad employed a man to "doP him up.
VIM. Sturgis will be witness for the de-
fence. Before he left for H.rtford Sur
gis made long statement to Thaw's
counsel That maintains a very cheer
full spirit in the Tombs in spite of the
wide difference in the mode of living 10
which he has been accustomed.

A DISPATCH from Paris in yesterday
Gazette announced the vindicstion OF
apt. Alfred Dreyfus. Twelve years
atle for the honor OF man, on the one
lie. with race hatred on the other, has
.oded with truth triumphant. For the
Court of Cassstion--the supreme tn
buual of France-has not only declared
CAPTAIN Alfred Dreyfus innocent OF high
treason, for which he was degraded from
the army and put to torture on con-
yic,s' island, but exposed officially to all
France the plot that made him martyr
To add to the discontinue of the anti
Semitics who still hate Dreyfus, the
fJrmer captain will not only be restored
f. q commission in the army, but Will be
made a major. This will be done by
Parliament at the instance of the Cabi-
net. Had Dreyfus remained in the
army he would only have reached the
grade of lieutenant colonel of artillery.
Former Colonel Picquart, whose defense
of Dreyfus caused him to be cashiered'
will be made a brigsdier general. 1t was
also decided al a meeting OF the Council
of State last night to propose Dreyius as
a candidate for the Legion OF Honor.

he has been hiding since his liberation
from prison, to high command The
Supreme Courts action was In full
keeping with the dramatic episodes that
have marked this stupendOus conspiracy
that had stirred the world. Twelve
years ago Dreyfus was seized 10 secret
as a traitor who had sold French secrets
to Germany. Since that time he has
been tried twice, Germany threatened
war because of the scandal, one officer
who helped to forge the documents that
convicted Dreylus has committed suicide.
another who had the courage to fight for
the truth was dismissed from the army,
