Frederick Wltte, who haef beea charged
with similar offense a year age, andMra.
Bamuslaatonee Ideatlfled him peslttvely.
Tbe police asked eeveral tlmee te have the
eaaa edjeurned, and when It came up en
Tneaday afternoon, Cant. Tbompeen said t
' Whoa ea Buadey last I asked for an
adjournment," aUd he " I had in my pea.
eetslen this geld cane-head, and I thought
1 could get the balance of the property.
This cane-bead waa brought te the police
station by Mrs. Samuels, sr., Saturday
night. Bne found It under the hall mat
with a card attached, which la ia printed
letters, and reads : 'Let Fred go. 1 give
you this nana head. It la la tbe stairs la
paper. Jeb.'
My detectives were busily inveatigat
lna tne ease When en Hundav nlaht Mr.
Bamnela, tbe complainant's husband, eame
te the station and handed me this diamond
rtnr, which la alee part of the stolen prop
erty. He aald his mother had found It
under the tableoleth la the hallway, with
tbla card -In the aame peculiar printed
obaraetera made with a pencU : Will
give all X have If you let Fred go. Here la
the ring. Jeb
Anether alie of naner wis handed bv the

sim? kind of characters, and read: "Jee go
around tbe allle."
TheuapUln stated that when he first
visited tbe beuse te make a preliminary
examination be found tbe wedding ring en
tbe fleer. Thla aurprlsed him, in the face
of the remarkable etery told by Mra.
Samuel, end he examined her hands.
There were no marka of Hugs having been
pulled cfl
"New," saya tbe captain, "1 have learned
that the diamond earrings worn by Mis.
Bamnelewereef tbat pattern that screw
Inte tbe eere. with a geld nnt at the back,
te remove whleh would require consider
able time."
Wltte looked earnestly at the property he
waa alleged te have stolen, and Lawyer
Kane became se excited that he dropped
both hla copy of tbe criminal cede and hla
cigar.
"I thought It proper te present this evi
dence te you, seeing thst we can in no way
connect the accused with the ailair," con
cluded the captain.
Then the Justice apeke werda whleh ap
parently caused a large substacee te ledge
In Wltte'a threat and tears te well up in
hla eyes.
"Wltf, you have fully established your
Innocence; you are honorably discharged.
x mux miity yuu uave leai your position."
"I'll never get it back again," said tl
the
"Yee, ycu will; they will re'nstate you,"
reassuringly replied tue Jnetlce.
Mrs. Samuels, mother-in-law of the com
plalnanr, waa aaked whrt she had te say
about tbe finding of the Jewelry, andsLe
was about te epeak when ter husband
oaeght held et her arm and said : " Don't
aey word te repertera," with whleh he
hustled her towards tbe oeurt room dicr.
Wltte thanked hla lawyer and departed
with hla friends.
MraSamuals, despite tbe apparently oc
clusive evldenee te the contrary, aiiil insists
tbat ebe waa robbed and that Wltte la one
of the guilty parties, and her husband, aa
well aa her father lu law, evldenUy believe
her, If her mother In-law deea net. Mrs.
Samuels' assertion la remarkable In view
of the statements made by Mra. Arneld, one
of tbe attending wltneesep, who, wbenehe
heard of the affair, called en the police
autberltlfa and described Mra. Samuela
very accurately, say leg that en April 7 last
the woman came te ber hotel and stated
that ahe bad been driven ent of her father's
hense. Bhe gave the name of Sarah
Roberts, and was constantly visited by her
husband. Despite the faet tbat ahe had
neither (money nor oletblng, the young
woman frequently complained et having
been robbed of both by tbe servants.
When these facta and ethers connected
with tbe recent alleged robbery were
brought te the attention of Dr. Greene M.
Hammend,1 who, like hla father, ex Surgeon
General William A. Hammend, baa made
a close study of nervous diseases, he aald It
was possible Mrs. Samuels waa a vletlm or
hysteria, 'ihe text books, he said, were full
of eases where women snflerlng from tbe
malady bad Imagined Just such atroeltloa ns
tbls woman alleged.
Dr. Fordyee Barker said te a New Yerk
World reporter when the olreumstsnoea
were explained te him last night : " It is
quttepceaibleltwaeaeaaa et bysterls. 1
have treated no parallel ease, but have
known many equally remarkable In ether
direction. It may be mere bysterls, or
there may have been a degree of deviltry
mixed with It"

A number of students were expelled from
the Oberlln (Ohie) oellege last Saturday, for
gambling and carousing. Tbe event occa
sioned great indignation and excitement
throughout the oellege, aa tbe evidence
whleh had been preaented by the faculty
waa of such an overwhelming charaeter and
dealt with such minute details aa te thaw
complete knowledge of all that had taken
place.
The accused were asked te deny tbe alle
gation If tbey oeuld, and as their sense of
honor revolted against telling a falsehood,
while none of them denltd the soeutatlen
against themselves, each el tbe accused re
fused te "peach" en hie lellewe or give any
Incriminating testimony against tbe ether
aoeused. Consequently alt of them were
discharged and eent borne.
But instead of going borne they remained
In town, erganised themselves into a gen
eral committee of Investigation, and pursued
detective woikte esoertalnhew the Infor
mation bad reached tbe raeulty.
Oae of their number, who bad bean over
looked or allowed te remain, was suspeeted
by them. Hla goings and oemlnga were
looked Inte, and finally becoming con
vinced tbat he bad turned traitor and In
formed uoea them, Frank Waloett, which
waa bis name, waa esptured by a body of
maskers, who threw a oleth or blanket
ever hla head, ae tbat he oeuld net make
any outcry, fd then he waa dragged into
a dark and seeluded street, be where was
atrlpped of hla clothing and then waa tarred
and feathered In sueb a way aa for a time te
make his lire despaired of.
The faeulty and cltliens then took up
the matter in earnest and enlisted tbe ser
vices et the police, who last nlgbt ar
rested number of students who ere
eberged with participating In the outrage.
Great excitement exists, as some of these
locked up were net among these expelled,
and tbe balk of tbe students threaten open
rebellion It their fellows are net released.

but tbe future et France. H oeedeasned
the policy new pursued la the eobeols,
which, be eald, struck at the root of the
traditional principle et parental eoatret
The mala esnse of existing evils, he de
clared, waa radleallsm, which relentlessly
pursued the old founders of the republic,
and gave premtaea that were Impossible te
fulfill. Frenee had abandoned the most
glorious of monarchies, and waa about te
fall at the feet of the least of men. The
eablnei'a duty wastocheek the movement
towards tbe abyss, but, instead el doing
thla, the eablntt waa hastening the move
ment. It was time te return te a policy of
geed sense. He appealed te the Right te
unite with the party of the Lett, whleh waa
the upholder of order and liberty, and
together save tbe oeuntry.
Tbe speech created a sensation, and at Ha
conclusion the senators arose en mass and
enthusiastically ebeered the orator. M.
Leen Say moved thet the speech be printed
and posted In pnblle plaees throughout the
oeuntry. It waa ultimately decided that
M. Bay'a motion should net be voted ea
until the next slttlna.
Premier Floquet remarked tbat the
speech of M. Cballemel-Laoeur might be
analysed aa an aet of repentance and an aet
of geed faith. M. Obailemel Laoeur had
urged thet France aheuld leek te the Right
for salvation.
Several senators protested against tbla
remara. ju. rtequei asaea rer a rear
mementa forbearance. Continuing, he
said tbat he bad net solicited the power
whleh bad been Imposed upon him, but
during offlee he bed tried te tffeet a con
centration or tbe parties en tbe Left Tne
cabinet's policy bad been wise and republl
esn. In forming that policy he had Intro
duced a proposal te reestablish single
member constituencies In order te be able
te continue tbe atruirgle.
M. Floquet at tbla point suddenly left the
tribune, tfla notion caused general astonish
ment. M. Ssy warmly approved M. Ohallemel Ohallemel Ohallemel
Laoeui'a speech, Hn said he regretted the
reply made by M. Floquet, and declared
that the piemler had net risen te the
occasion.
A great uproar thereupon ensued.
M. Telalu defended the policy of tbe
ministry, and oentended tbat the whole evil
was eaused by tbe Conservatives refusing
te adhere te the republic,
M Flcquet announced that be would, If
necessary, introduce new legislation te
