BAKERSFIELD, Cal. July 12.-An
immense grass and forest fire has been
in progress during the past two or three
days between the Carissa plains and the
coast. The flames are now out, after
burning from Shasta Maria Springs to

pany and Miller & Lux have a large
number of cattle and sheep in the

Accusations Fall to Ground

THE court therefore holds that as
all the accusations against the accused
fall to the ground there is no neces-
sity for a new trial and consequently
the judgment in condemnation is an
nulled as unwarranted by the evil
dence."
In conclusion the court noted Drey-
fus' waving of pecuniary indemnit y
and ordered its decision to be tram
scribed on the records of the Rennes
court-martial and to be inserted in the
official journal and also in five news
papers to be designated by the procura-
tor general and at the cost of the gov
eminent in fifty papers of Paris and
the provinces, to be designated by Drey-
fus.
The circumstances of Captain Drey-
fus returning to the army have not
yet been determined upon. but it is
expected that he will take the grade of
lieutenant colonel of the artillery,
which he would have reached if his
services had not been interrupted.
The cabinet will hold a special ses-

MITCHELL A MODEL PRISONER
JaiIers Describe Mans Conduct Dur

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SEATTLE. Wash, July 12.-"Good-
by, boys: you've been mighty good to
me and want to thank you for it..
Good-by."
1t was with these words that George
Mitchell said farewell to the jailers at
the county court house twenty min
utes before he was shot dead by his
own sister
He left the Jail for the last time, taxi
ing his way toward the Union depot
where he was to meet his death.
Mitchell spent today with Louis San
dell. friend who lives on Mercer
island. About o'clock he came to the
Jail to get his razor and knife, which
had been taken from him during his
confinement.
He sat down and talked with Larson
and Smith for about an hour telling
them that he intended to go to Port
land on the train this evening. but be-
yond this he said little of his plans.
"He did not mention his sister at all"
said Smith tonight. "In fact I think
never heard him say anything about
her. He talked on general subjects and
particularly thanked us for what we
did for him.
Was a Model Prisoner
Mitchell was a very unusual pris-
oner. He was quiet and kind. and in
the short time he was here we had come
to like him very much. In fact, there
have been few here whom we cared
for so much as that boy. He was sorry
to say good-by, though L suppose he
was glad to go.
During her stay in this city from
the beginning of the trial until July
Mrs. h. F.. Starr. sister of Esther
and George Mitchell, roomed at the
Stevens hotel. From information re-
ceived there it seemed that Mrs. Starr
and Esther Mitchell held conversations
over the telephone daily, Mrs. Starr's
telephone bill for one day often aggre-
eating S5 cents. She was in the habit
of calling up Esther Mitchell, or Esther
would call her up as often as eight
times a day.
1.-The conversation was chiefly on the
outcome of the trial, but neither com
mitted themselves as to what they
thought would be the outcome.
Wanted to Borrow Money
Mrs Starr left for Pendleton July 81
with her husband, and previous to her
departure Esther Mitchell spoke to her
over the telephone, asking for a loan
of some money. About how much?'
asked Mrs. Starr. oh, not a great deal,
said Esther Mitchell. just enough to
tue ONtl lOl ci lew udSS anu lHCl IL
not need any,
Her sister asked for an explanation
of her remark but she refused and
made light of it. During the conVersa-
tion Mrs. Starr spoke of leaving her
husband in order to take UP her resi-
dence with Esther and Mrs Creffield,
but was strongly advised against this
step by Esther. Stay with your hus
band said Esther, he is good to you,
and lOOp- he ic will have
nothing to regret
George and Perry Mitchell intended
to leave today at the same time their
father took a train for the east, but
later changed their minds.

Letter "p" Substituted

First, that the document from Cen
eral Mercier's secret papers presented
at the Rennes court-martial, in which
the initial Cd" was substituted for "P, !"
was classification. esta blishng the pre-
sumption of Dreyfus' innnocence.
Second, that another document from
the secret papers in which Dreyfus was
alleged to have delivered to Germany
the plans for the railway mobilization
never reached the war department au-
thorities. and therefore Dreyfus could
not have secured possession of it.
Third. that the Rennes court-martial
failed to hear essential testimony Nl-
culated to establish the fact that Drey-
fus was innocent.
"These facts" the decision of the
court says. without seeking for any
further grounds. are of nature to es-
tablish the innocence of the accused,
and it is only necessary to examine
whether the verdict of the Rennes
court-martial shall be annulled without
a retrial or be followed by another
trial by courtmartial."
After long review of the document
in the case known as the "bordereau."
the decision says it was written by
Major Esterhazy, and that the accusa =
tions connecting Dreyfus with the bor-
dereau rests only on hypothesis and
conjecture.
THE accusation against Dreyfus,' -
continues the decision. whether based
on the handwriting or text of the bor-
dereau. was completely unjustified
and without motive. Moreover, Drey-
fus having a large fortune, one seeks
in vain for the reason for his commit
ting such a great crime.
