of her mother-in-law, Nine. Japy,
with its promise of revelations con-
corning the sudden demise of the late
President Faure, of France, is the
topic of the hour in Paris. The open
ing of the celebrated action is seized
uled for Wednesday. November 3.
The indictment upon which Nine.
Steinheil is to be tried recapitulates
the activities of the Paris police for
a year and a half, and in its details
it rivals any French detective story
ever penned.
1t suggests a motive for the crime
in the intense animosity borne her
mother n-law. Nine. Japy. by Nine
Steinheil, and the latter's evident wish
to be freed from her husband that she
might wed Maurice Borderel, veal

fatuated with her
Personages high in French political
diplomatic, judicial, and social life
will be, without doubt, dragged into
the case and startling disclosures are
looked for when the taking Of evidence
commences.
1t is hardly likely that the Dreyfus
case, the Humbert case and the Syve-
ton mystery together caused so pro
found a sensation throughout France.
In the prominence of the persons
involved, the strange atmosphere of
mystery that envelops its every angle.
the appalling revelations it already
has caused, and the still more ap-
palling revelations it necessarily
threatens, this murder mystery never
has been equaled since newspapers
were published for the first time
1t reveals the fact, hushed up
through nine years, that President
Felix Faure of France was poisoned
to death at the home of Nine Adclphe
Steinheil, a beautiful Parisienne, on
February 16, 1899 instead of dying
of apoplexy in his own mansion, the
Elysee palace, as officially given out
at the time.
1t explains, at least, in part, the
strangling of M. Adolphe Steinheil,
the woman's husband, and his moth
er-in-law, Nine. Japy, by the alleged
fact that Steinheil had documents
proving the murder of the president.
1t involves Magistrate Leydette one
of the most honored judges in France.
Open charges were made that he had
prevented the investigation of t1e
case through illicit use of his great
judicial influence
1t involves the honesty and integ-
rity of the famous secret police of
France. Nine Steinheil was a wo-
man spy of this bureau, and it has
even been limited that secret police
aided in the murder of her husband
and Nine. Japy.
1t threatens the gravest of official
scandals and involves the regulations
