Paris knew that she was winning
her social way as a favorite of the
president of France.
There was an underground pas
sage between her home in Paris
and Faure's official mansion.
Through this she crept one night
to intercede for Captain Dreyfus,
who was then a military prisoner
on the Isle du Diable, There was
an affectionate meeting, and an
appointment.
She was hidden by Faure, in
spite of the usages of French So
ciety, to the presidential balI
which was to be held that week.

and demanded that her husband
recall it.
Did he obey? Did his recall

Steinheils house.
The gendarmes were called to
the 1mpasse Ronsin and they
found Faure dying with the wom-
an at his feet. She had served
him wine, and when an examina-
ton of the body was made later
its condition was the same as a
corpse of person poisoned. There
was no autopsy.

death grip the beautiful blond
tresses of Nine. Steinheil. AS she
wept and screamed, attendants
pried loose the stiffening fingers
to prevent cutting her hair.
On the day of Faure's funeral the
woman France calls his slayer wept
beside the grave, kissing his por-
trait in sight of the mourning fam.
lily and the highest officials of
France.
But the country was quick to for.
get until the double murder fol
lowed, the killing of the woman S
husband and her own mother.
Then the whole story was re.
vealed. Magistrate Leydette, who
heard the preliminaries, was called
off the bench, under charges that
his friendship for Faure was pro-
tecting the woman. He was sue
ceeded by Judge Boucard.
