NJ. lSoARD is INDICATED
Jurs OF Honor makes Report in Case
Invoking Count Boni de
CasteIfane.

PARIS. Fet. "A jury OF honor has
rendered a decision In a case Involving
charges Of venality during Count Boni de-
Castellane's candidacy for election TO the
chamber OF deputies as Representatives Of
the Besses Apes The jury was composed
Of Deputies Pelletan and Presscnse and
Senator Girente. and the final decision was
given by the arbitrator, Deputy GuyOt
Dcssigne. Tho decision says that NJ.
IsOard. editor Of the Republique Proven
cisle. was accused Of taking certain sums
Of money not TO oppose Count Bonis
candidacy The committee Of prefecture
developed certain facts which. if fully
proved. would have given apparent reason
sbleness to the accusations of venally.
Project Drcze formulated charges that NJ.
Isoard refused to accept the responsibility
for the charge that money had been paid
for NJ IsOard support or neutrality The
decision says that the charges first took
definite form in letters from Senator Cas-
sier but the evidence shows that the sena-
tors information WAS hearsay from wit
nesses. who now deny or remain mute
Therefore the decision concludes NJ. 1soard
is absolutely indicated from the accusa-
tions Of venality and is held blameless
for the noninsertion in his paper Of articles
hostile to Count BOni.
