The real big time hunters of
men are really scientists skilled
in The art of reading the facts
of the crime from such things
as the criminal carelessly leaves
behind.
Often as not the trained in
vestigator stays the hand of the
law just when it is about to
convict an innocent man on cir
cumstantial evidence. The fas-.
cination Of detective fiction for
the public is due to the fact
that no hunting equals that of
a man hunting a man.
PUBLIC FASCINATED
So the De Marigny case has
Skyrocketed into importance as
the public generally realizes the
fun implications of issues involved,
A man OF magnetic personality
is destined 10 leave the prisoner s
dock in the Nassau courtroom
and return 10 the arms OF his
beautiful young bride or march up
the scaffold and. drop into eter-
nifty.
The evidence being circumstan-
tial, everything depends on the
integrity with which such evil
dence is interpreted.
CircumStantial evidence is not
unreliable, but the danger comes
from unwiSe Interpretation.

PETER DEVECMON

Contributed by f. A. Walker, of Washing
ton, D. c., a grandson of Hannah McCarty.
The McCartys founded the town of Oakland
in lS49. William Armstrong and wife Hannah
Sinnex. were the first permanent settlers of
Oakland in 1906.
Peter Devecmon (1759-1803) was
young French nobleman who left
France because of having killed, in a
duel about a girl of little Importance
to either duelist, young cousin whom
he termed his dearest friend" and for
whom he grieved as long as he lived.
In France, his name was Pierre
Duvaucel d'Evequemont, the last being
his title, "of Bishops Hill" In Amer
lea he anglicized his personal name,
dropped the family name and re-
spelled the title to express in English
the sound of the French words.
His immediate family consisted only
of his sister, Marie, a lady of the
Queens court who, until the French
Revolution, forwarded to him the rev
enues from his estates. She was doubt
less killed in some Of the violence of
that time, for she was not tried before

condemned the queen and so many
others, among them one Louis-Phil-
ippe, described as noble and collector
of certain taxes under contract. who
may likely have been an uncle or a
cousin of Pierre.
When Napoleon undertook to re-
store their estates to mobiles who
should come to claim them, Devec-
mon planned to go and to take with
him his eldest daughter Marie Jagged

to his properties, but wanted her first
to learn some French. She, possibly

to strange world, especially after a

embarked for such a journey on a
ship which was lost at sea. SO she
learned very slowly indeed, and his
death in 1903 ended the project.
A relative who much later made an
investigation in France reported that
Pierre and his sister were own cous-
ms to the king and to the young man
killed in the duel.
In America, Devecmon came first
to Jamaica, perhaps about 1888 or
1884, then to Baltimore and to Will
mington, Delaware, where he boarded
at the home of a substantial Swedish
citizen of that town and in 1886 mar
ried his landlady's sixteen-year-old
sister, Hannah SinneX, of an old Swed-
ish colonial family already settled
there for more than a hundred years.
At that time he gave his name as
Peter D'Evecmon, later as Devecmon.
