New York Press, MAUREL routed Freystaetter Shows Falsehood of Maurel's Evidence A DRAMATIC SCENE Freystaetter Repeated His Asserlicn Showing Plainly thai Dreyfus Was Convicted oa Secret and False Evidence. Rennes, August 26. Bertillion'again testified today concerning some of the deficiencies in his expert demonstration which were pointed out in the cross-ex amination. There was a dramatic scene when Captain Freystattzef , a member of the first court martial, testified that all the documents of the secret dossier were ead. This contradicted Colonel Mau- rel. LalMiri immediately demanded a con tinuation of Freystatzer or Maurel. The latter mounted the stage and presented a miserable object, with his shifty eyes and hang dog look, and when asked to xpluiii he said: "I said that I only rend the document. I did nof say only one document was read." This statement called out an outburst of hisses, since fhey looked irpon it us on infamous con fession. I The audience then listened spell-bound as Freystatzer told exactly what docu ments of the dossier were read, and how Colonel Mnurel not only read these documents but commented on them. Freystaetter described the comments made on the false documents, that Mer cier testified that De Chun nnder his di rection. Thi switness specially empha sized the pretended translaiton of Pa nazza nil's telegram, which was a false version, "Dreyfus arrested, minister warned" was sent to the court martial. General Mercier denied the other day that this telegram was included in the papers sent to the secretary of the 181)4 court martial. Labori pointed out the vital conflict be tween the testimony of this witness and that of Mercier. For the first time Mercier was some- u-hnt HtuliipKiul an1 fatftlr (ha atanit First he said that Freystaetter was mis- i taken about Robin Shell and then warm-1 ly declared that the witness lied in re- gard to the Panizzardi dispatch. Freystaetter forcibly reaffirmed what he stated facing Mercier as he spoke. Everybody then knew thjit Dreyfus had had been condemned not only on secret but on false evidence. WAYXESVILLE AFFAIR.

ROMANTIC DIVORCE CASE Mrs. Irwin, Daughter of Rev. Dr. Crawford, a Presbyterian Divine, Granted a Divorce She WIH Wed ,B M She 0n De. ceived Bui Who has Remained True to Her. Newton Enterprise, 25th. There was quite a tragic incident in the court house Saturday morning. Mrs. Mary S.. Irwin was on the witness stand giving the grounds on which she based her application for divor from her I husband, Frank E. Irwin. She gave I a very straightforward account of her married life, and answered all the ques- lions of the attorneys and judge in n sweet, delicate sentences, and with a perfect understanding of their import and meaning. But just as the judge said, "You may stand aside," her head foil back in the chair and she became unconscious. She was caried to the office of the clerk of the court and from there to the hotcl and very soon recovered from the swoon. The jury took the case and answered every question in favor of the fair plaintiff. Around this case is woven much more romance than is usual in divorce cases before the courts of North Carolina. The plaintiff is very beautiful woman and belongs to a family of beautiful wo men. Two of her brothers are distin guished lawyers in Arkansas, and all her sisters are distinguished for their lieauty. i ; Three years ago she was a Miss Craw ford, of Tayloraville, a daughter of Rev? Dr. Crawford, a distinguished Presbyterian preacher, who died a few years ago. She was engaged to be mar ried on a certain day to Mr. James Mc intosh, a postal clerk on the Charlotte and Tuylorsville Railroad. But a short Irwin came ou tlle sct,ne Ue w;as Massachusetts mun, connected at the time with the Catawba River Lumber Coniuaiiv of Hickory, and manager of - - . ,a r -,, branch establishment at Taylorsville. Cn ,he daJ before the onc on whi(.n Miss Crawford had promised to marry Mcintosh she surprised the town of Taylorsville by giving her hand to Irwin. They went to Hickory to live and when tne Catawba River Lumber went Into ) the hands of a receiver Mr. Irwin and j his young wife moved to Arkansas. There Irwin, according to the testimony in court, began to play the role of the ingrate and brute. He treated his wife with cruelty. But she endured his treat men and moved with him to his Massa chusetts home. There his abuse became worse and be finally deserted her and refused to provide her a living. A year ago she came back to her North Caro- jn T and Hfck u wag tQ gWe Mrg Irwiu tMet tnat the' bill was prepared by her attorney, Mr. T. M. Huff bam, and passed by the last Legislature, to make it a ground for divorce when a husband deserts his wife in another State and lives apart from her twelve months after her return to North Carolina. In pursuance of this act the court last Saturday dissolved the bonds of matrimony which has been so cruelly abused nd -declared Mrs. Ir win a free woman. ' During ail this, time Mr. v Mcintosh continued to perform his duties as mail clerk between Taylorsville and Char lotte, and his heart remained true to his first love, thought she had once broken the promise to become his wife. . After ner return to North Carolina a reconcili ation was soon made and the engage ment of marriage was . renewed. The wedding Is expected to come olf some time this week.. , THB-COMPANY HE KEEPS. -The Hon.

We now take up the study of the great event to which all the prophecies of this Quarter's lessons have been pointing. The Jews had been in captivity seventy years, and God carried out His plana for sending them back to their homes. The Jews had been so scattered that they did not see how it could be brought about, and had not thought it possible to return. Everything is posible with God, however, and in our lesson we have another great instance of God's power to overrule affairs to bring about His pur pose in exact accordance with His word spoken by Him and His prophets. The student should not fail to read II Chron. xxxvi, 14-23. It will be quite helpful to grasp tile teaching of our lesson, since the hook of Ezra, from which it ia taken, is merely a continuation of the second book of Chronicles, which was compiled by-the same author, as is generally sup posed. Read what the Lord said of King Cyrus, in Isaiah xi, 28 and xiv L Our leson today clearly brings out the fact that God is the Redeemer of His people. The two kingdoms, consisting of the twelve tribes, were brought to gether and made into one nation. Verse 1. In connection with this pro phecy of Jeremiah, of the return from captivity, read the letter In the twenty ninth chapter in the Book of Jeremiah. Before the Jews could return they had to renounce1 the sins which brought them into captivity. In like manner no soul can receive salvation till he forsakes his past wicked life. Verses 2-4. God heard the prayer of the captives, and stirred np the spirit of Cyrus, so that He allowed them to go, loading them with treasure, and giv ing them every encouragement. God al ways has a man ready for a great work when He wants it done. In our lesson (Verse 6) we find that God also worked on the hearts of the people, making them willing to contribute liberally for the house of God in Jerusalem. (Verse 4.) If God refused to stir up the spirit of men His kingdom would never be built up. He, however, raised up Cyrus to restore Israel and will raise up instru ments to direct us. Verse 5. God uses Churistians today to build up His house, but His builders ' are only those whose spirit "He has raised." Verse 6. The heathen neighbors as sisted the exiles to return from capti vity, or in other words, helped the Jews. In like manner God uses the world today to aid His cause and His people. Verses 7-11. The sacred vesels of the temple in Jerusalem had been carried away by Nebuchanazzer as spoils of war, and placed in one of the temples of Babylon. Some of these vessels Bel shazzar used in his impious feast with his thousand lords, when he was drunk ajid worshipped hip idol gods. (See Dan. v, 22-23). Now Cyrus orders the sacred vessels to be placed in the second temple soon ot be built in Jerusalem, and of the vast number of 5,400 vessels it is aid they were returned without the loss of a single one. This shows how God overruled the purposes of wicked , kings in favor of His people, and also shows us that what has been dedicated' to the Lord cannot really be desecrated by wicked men. The captivity was one of the greatest blessings that Jadah ever received, for through it God purified His pepole, preserved the nation, and provid ed for the return. When God wishes He can turn everything to the help of His people. The Lord has done great things for us, whereof we are glad. Golden Text, Psalms ,126, 8. SPECIAL RATES TO CHARLOTTE, N. 0, VIT S. A.
