Foster has employed some PhiIadel-

ley was very noticeable while they
lived together in a hotel here. The
couple knew the arrest would take
place and had time to fleet the coun-
try. The fact that they did not, ac-
cording to their friends, is evidence
that Foster is not going to turn the
girl adrift.

Mayville, \. Y, Jan. 19.-The siege
of Edward Beardsley, the Summerdale
farmer, today resolved itself into a
waiting game. The outlaw has agree d
to give himself up Wednesday, but
only on his own terms.
He stipulated that the nine children
who have been his safeguard since the
siege began, be taken to the home of
his brother, Charles, in TitusvilIe, Pa,

in Mayviile in the custody of his law

Today is the seventh day that Beard
sley has openly defied the law. A

successfully kept himself beyond the
reach Of the authorities. He has had

for want Of evidence. In spite OF the
courts decision in his favor he was
retired from the. service through the
influence of anti-Dreyfus officials.
During his retirement, Picquart,
aided by Emile Zola and others con-
tinued his work in behalf Of the man
who had been unjustly condemned. He
finally succeeded in having the case
brought before another court martial
at Rennes. Dreyfus was again con-
victed by this court but later secured a
full pardon from President Loubet.
This pardon did not satisfy Pic
quart and the other supporters of
Dreyfus, who labored necessarily TO
have him officially declared innocent.
They finally secured this verdict from
the French supreme court and both
Dreyfus and Picquart were restored TO
the active list Of the French army.
General Picquart afterward became
minister of war and commander of the
second arRF corps.

Georges Picquart, 60 years old.

the Dreyfus case, died here today.
General Picquart, regarded as one of
the most brilliant officers of the
French army, rose to high rank at a
very early age. He was an Alsatian
by birth. His skill as a hnguist, cou-
pied with his ability as q soldier, led
to his appointment to the general staff.
1t was while serving there that Pic
quart discovered the forgery which had
brought about the condemnation of
Dreyfus to the horrors of Devils Is
land.
Picquart thereupon became one Of
the most enthusiastic appellants for a
revision of the judgment on Dreyfus.
His zeal in this respect led to his ar
rest and Imprisonment on various
charges, which were however dismissed
