any rate no judgment had been
pronounced and the judges them
selves did not appear to be in agree
ment.
On Monday, October IL. at $3.50
o'clock in the morning, Maitre de
Leval went to the political depart
ment in the rue Lambermont, and
found Conrad. He spoke to him of
the case of Miss CaVell and asked
that now that the trial had taken
. place he and the Rev. Mr.. Gahan,
the rector of the English church,
be allowed TO see Miss CaVell. Con-
rad said he would make inquiries
and inform de Leval by telephone,
and by one of the messengers of
the legation, who that morning
happened TO deliver some papers to
the political department. Conrad
sent word that neither the Rev. Mr..
GAhan nor Maitre de Leval could
see Miss CaVell at that time, but
that Maitre de Laval could see her
as soon as the judgement had been
PRONOUNCED.
At 1880 O'Clock on that Monday
morning Maltre de Leval himself
telephoned to Conrad, who repeat
ed this statement. The judgment
had not yet been rendered, he said
and Maltre de Leval asked him TO
let him know as soon as the judg
ment had been pronounced so that
he might go to see Miss CaVell.
Conrad promised this but added
that even then the Reverend Nj.
Gahan could not see her because
there were German protestant pas
tors at the prison and that if Miss
CaYel needed spiritual advice or
consolation she could call on them.
Conrad concluded this conversa-
ton by saying that the Judgment
would be rendered probably on the
morrow, that is, on Tuesday, or
the day after, and that even when
IL had been pronounced it would
have to be signed by the military
governor before il was effective and
that the legation would be kept in
formed.
MaItre de Leval is one of the most
meJrlCulouSly exact. men that l.

important conversation OF any sort
he used to dictate the purpOrt OF

was said and done. l have had

de Levais own notes in preparing

any news from Maitre kirschen,
Maltre de LeVal went 20 his house
out did not find him there and left
his card. At twelve thirty o'clock
Aiaitre Ge Leval went 70 the house
oil the lawyer 10 whom reference
had already been made, and left
word for him to so 10 Maitre dc
I.CVaIs house. At -FOUR o'clock that
afternoon the lawyer arrived at
the legation and said that he had

and asked him 20 telephone again
