N. Gresori, Who Recently Fired at
Major Dreyfus, Dealt With Lenient-
Iy by Trial Jury-Made Address
Denouneins Dreyfusards.
(By Associated Press.

PARIS, Sept. 11.-With the acquit-
tai tonight by a jury in the Assize
court Of Louis a. Gregori, who fired
upon Major Dreyfus during the cere-
monies last June incident to the
placing of the body of Emile lola in
the Pantheon, the Dreyfus affair,
which has divided France into two
camps for the last II years. may be
said to have been buried beyond all
possibility Of resurrection.
The government, 1t was evident
from the remarks Of the advocate
general in the summing up. did not
want a severe sentence which would
make a martyr of NJ Gregori, but
merely a correctional sentence which
would allow the matter to die out
1t was generally anticipated that the
court would condemn Gregori to si=
months Imprisonment. and his com
plete acqui:tal partook Of the nature
Of an anti-climax. Those present IN
the court room gave vent &c their
feelings according to their political
views tHt
With mingled boots and cheers. The
president OF the court soon quellcd
the disturbance by ordering the court
room cleared. An attempt was made
to start a manifestation outside the
building. bat this was frustrated by
the police.
NJ G.cgori addressed the jury as
follows:

RlcHMoNo's CASE WANING.
Alleged Baggage swindIers About Il
Be Set Free. d.

RICHMOND, VA, sept. li.-ih
spite OF all the sensational features
of the alleged mammoth baggage
swindling case, it is very probable
that Justice Crutchfield will be forced
to dismiss Mrs. H. r. Courtiandt
and c. f CORTLAND when the cases
are called tomorrow morning There
is no direct charge against Mrs.
Hageman. though she has admitted to
Chief WERNER that she furnished the
money to finance Fowl,r's crooked
schemes. As for Flower himself. the
one person in the whole AFFAIR VII
might have been held, he escaped.
Still, Flower has done nothing in Wiz
ginia. as far as is known. upon which
he might be held and could not long
be detained unless it was done for
another state.
The case will probably end tomor'
row. Mrs. CORTLAND and the man
CORTLAND will be called in the 20
lice Court to answer the charge oil
withholding or taking the jewelry OF
Mrs. Hageman, this being the charge
brought against Mrs. CORTLAND yes
terday by Chief Werner. after the
case Of beating the beard bill is set
tied.
Mrs Hageman will testify that she
allowed Mrs. Ccurtland to have the
iexeiry or other valuablcs: that they
were not stolen and not illegally held
and Mrs. CORTLAND will be dismissed
As for the man held In jail. there
doesn't seem 20 be anything at all
against him except suspicion.

The Whyte Dramatic Company,
which is conceded to be the strongest
company that has played here this
season, made a hit last night when
they presented as their opening play.
"A Woman's Revenge The company
comes with the highest endorsements
from local managers and h press
of the cities in which they have play
ed, and they more than made good
these endorsements. The specialties
cially the songs of Miss Grow, Mr..
Pooler and Mr.. Thomas. The play to-
night will be, California" a story
of the Golden State. 1t has never been
seen in Roswell before, as it is the
exclusive property of Mr.. Chas. P.
Whyte and presented only by his
own companies. Another company
presented a play here recently enti-
tied California, or the Girl of the
Golden West" 1t was really Ethel
Barrymore's play of Sunday" and
in no possible manner resembles the
original play of California" The
characters of the play tonight are
t~ypica1ly western, and the leading
character is that of q highly cultured
Mexican who has fallen in bad com
pany and become so enamored with
his associates that the nobility of his
character does not come to the sur
face until the last scene of the last
act. The finale of the play is said to
be especially beautiful and sends n
ideals of the drama, Tomorrow after
moo an innovation in the shape of a
mid-week matinee will be given. The
hour for the raising of the curtain
will be 1870 O'Clock in order to give
the school children an opportunity to
see the play. The play will be The

Screen the bitches.

Editor Roswell Record | notice
that the Rod and Gun Club takes an
interest in the preservation of the
game we have in the country. l wish
to suggest to them or to those that
have the authority, that since the ce
menting of the two bitches it creates
regular water chute in enticing the
fn1y tribe to leave their natural
home, as more fish will rush through
these bitches now to their own de-
struction than all the illegally caught
fish win amount to. If they ever enter
these bitches they will be liable to
go on through, as there is no resting
ground for them and the water is
clear, and they will be in sight of
some object that will encourage them
to go through.
They will wander into the several
irrigatilg bitches, and finally into
the fields. I have caught hundreds of
trout, and the largest | ever caught
was in a potato field between two
rows about a mile from the Rio
Grande river in Colorado. 1t had wan
dered into a small ~irrigating ditch
and got lost. It measured D inches
in length, and weighed 6 IL pounds.
1 notice that a great many of the cit
liens of Roswell spend a few hours
occasionally trying to entice the lit
tie creatures TO take hold of the end
OF their line and leave their natural
home So something should be done
