CONGRESS MAY TAKE ACTION
Revelations Make IL Practically Ger
tain That Inquiry VIII Follow.


The story told by Richard Parr, a for
mer special agent Of the Treasury De
partment, about the way he was shifted
from one assignment to another after he
made known that he had discovered dis
honest collision between the sugar trust
and the employees Of the New York Gus
tom-house created interest in Washing

PARIS story makes practically certain
that there will be an investigation by
Congress of the sugar trusts operations.

Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt,

evidence tending 20 show that the sugar
trust was a combination in restraint OF

direct evidence presented by one OF his
own subordinates that the trust was buy

In the story told by Mr. Parr Il was
evident that Parr meant 10 accuse Rob

nolds. former Assistant Secretaries OF
the Treasury, OF having endeavored 70
keep him from pursuing inquiries into
frauds involving the sugar trust at the

the theatrical world. and he became con-
vinced that she was not acting.
Five Of the jurymen were firm parti-
sans Of acquittal throughout
NJ. Sporcks notes show that he was
especially impressed by Detective Pouce's
declaration that he was absolutely sure
OF Nine. SteinheiTs innocence. He ex-
planned the length Of the jury's delibera-
tons by the ob5curity OF the questions
they were TO answer.
BIames Burglars.
N. sporck believes that the crime was
committed by ordinary burglars. who left
Nine. Steinheil alive in order to incrimi-
nate her.
Another Juror confesses that he was
greatly Influenced by the fact that be has
a daughter of about the same age as
Marthe. Nine. Steinheils daughter.
After the trial Nine. Steinhen was al
lowed 10 sign the necessary documents
at the police depot which is part of the
palace OF justice. instead Of returning to
the S.. Lazare prison, which is the usual
procedure. After the signing of the pa
pers. the director Of the depot and his
daughter entered an automobile and drove
OF.
This automobile was followed by dozens
of reporters and others who believed the
woman in Il was Nine. Steinhen. The lat
ter later entered an automobile with one
OF her lawyers and departed unseen. They
drove TO a MOTEL, but, believing they were
followed by another motor they drove
by devious route to another part of the
city.
Nine. Steinheil left Paris this morning.

Desmoulins. an engraver. who dedicates
much time 10 imprisoned women. tells Of
how. when he was visiting one Of these
unfortunates. he heard another woman
sob in a corner OF the cell. On a small
table by her side was a small photo
graph.
Later he learned that the second woman
was Nine. Steinhell. Visiting the cell
few days afterward. when Nine. Stein
he'll was absent, he noted that the pho
tograph was not that Of Marthe Stein
he'll. as he expected, but that OF Nine.
Japy.
NJ Desmoulins. who afterward devoted
much OF his time 20 Nine. Steinheil. IS
convinced Of her innocence. His great
experience with criminals leads him 20
believe that guilty persons always avoid
speaking Of their crime. The presence
OF the photograph OF Nine. Japy and
his conversation with Nine Steinheil con-
vnced him that she was innocent.
