EVANS CONTROLS STATE
Ex-Penslon Commissioner Nominat
ed and Brownlow' s Power Gone.
NASHVILLE. Tenn.. July 12. Henry
Clay Evans, of Hamilton County, former
Commissioner of Pensions and recently
American Consul-General in London, was
tonight nominated for Governor by the
Republican State convention. D. C. Swaib,
of Claybourne County, was nominated for
Railroad Commissioner.
The nomination of Evans for Governor
came after a most exciting session and
marks the transfer of Republican leader
ship In Tennessee from Congressman
Walter P. Brownlow of the First District
to Evans. Harmony was indicated this
morning, when Mr. Brownlow decided he
would not oppose the Evans candidate
for permanent .chairman and temporary
organization with A-sbury Wright presid
ing, was quickly effected. Then came
long waits for the committee on creden
tials, and tonight the storm broke over
its report.
There was a division over some of the
contested counties and the attempt of
each faction to seat its choice soon
changed the convention into a howling
mob. Delegates crowded the speakers
stand, ran over the press tables and
threatened to engage in fights. Quiet be
ing restored, the Evans report as a whole
was at length adopted, on motion of a
Brownlow man, the result arousing wild
demonstrations.
Then the report of the committee on
permanent organlzatidn, naming Con
gressman Nathan Hale for chairman was
adopted and the remaining business was
quickly and harmoniously dispatched.

Insanity Follows Prosperity.
BALTIMORE. Md.. July 12. Prosperity
is declared largely responsible for the
marked Increase In Insanity, according to
the report of Dr. Charles Hill, in charge
of the Mount Hope retreat, which was
made public yesterday. "I believe.'' says
Dr. Hill, "that by a thorough research
it could be traced in a great part to

DREYFUS CLEARED Uv ,
(Continued From Page 1.) I " .sW ' "" "'
Palace of Justice was thronged. Present
were Matthew Dreyfus, brother of Alfred
Dreyfus; Maitre Mornard, counsel for
Captain Dreyfus; Joseph Relnach. the his
torian of the Dreyfus affair; Colonel Pic
quart, Mme. Zola and many others, who
have figured in various stages of the cele
brated case. Captain Dreyfus was not
present, continuing his habitual secrecy
by remaining secluded in the garret where
he has hitherto been cut off from the
outer world.
Solemn Scene In Court.
The scene as the decision was pro
nounced was one of impressive dignity.
The court, consisting of 49 Judges, gowned
in flowing red robes, solemnly mounted
the bench. Deep silence prevailed as the
presiding Judge read the lengthy decision,
minutely reviewing the series of the sen
sational events of the last 12 years and
completely exculpating Dreyfus of all
wrongdoing, freeing him of the accusation
of being the author of the famous incrim
inating documents, on which Hhe entire
charge was founded, and ordering the an
nulment of the judgment of the Rennes
court-martial, with the publication of the
final announcement of his Innocence in 50
newspapers, to be chosen by Captain
Dreyfus, The reading of the decision
lasted, an hour, and it was only at the
close that the spectators realized the
sweeping nature of the vindication.
As the final determination was an
nounced, there was a buzz of excited com
ment and some exclamations of approval,
which the court officers sternly repressed.
Matthew Dreyfus hastily dispatched a
messenger to bear the good news to Cap
tain Dreyfus and Mme. Dreyfus. Outside
the court the crowds received the decision
without making any demonstration.
Features of Decision.
The main features of the decision are
as follows:
The court holds that three new facts
have been established: First, that the
document from General Mercler's secret
papers presented at the Rennes court
martial, in which the initial "D was sub
stituted for P," was a falsification. Sec
ond, that another document from the se
cret papers in which Dreyfus was alleged
to have been shown to have delivered to
Germany the plans for the railway mobili
zation never reached the war department
authorities, and therefore Dreyfus could
not have secured possession of it. Third,
that the Rennes court-martial failed to
hear essential testimony calculated to es
tablish the fact that Dreyfus was inno
cent. Ksterhazy Real Criminal.
After a lengthy review of the document
In the case known as the bordereau, the
decision says it was written by Major
Count Esterhazy, and that the accusa
tion connecting Dreyfus with the borde
reau rests only on hypothesis and con
jecture. "The accusation against Dreyfus." con
tinues the decision, "whether based on
the handwriting or text of the bordereau,
was completely unjustified and wluioui
motive. Moreover, Dreyfus, having a
large fortune, one seeks in vain for any
reason for his committing such a great
crime.
"The court therefore holds that, as all
the accusations against the accused fall
to the ground, there is no necessity for a
new trial."
DREYFUS THANKS DEFENDERS
Glad Trouble Ordeal Is Ended.
Silent About Accusers.
PARIS. July 12. In the course of an In
terview today, after the announcement of
the Supreme Court's decision in his favor,
Dreyfus said:
"This has been a long and terrible or
deal. I began to feel it would never close.
The decision restores me to my old place
In the army, but I am not aware of the
Intentions of the government concerning
my advancement in rank.
"I have nothing to say against my ac
cusers. Being again an officer. I am
obliged to obey the army regulations of
silence, and I am inexpressibly thankful
to those who have assisted in the main
tenance of truth."
HISTORY OF DREYFUS CASE
Twelve Years Tragedy, Which Ends
in His Vindication.
L.' Affaire Dreyfus" Is the most cele
brated case of modern times, and has in
volved the fate of Ministries and even the
Presidents of the French republic. The
Jewish aspects of the case have been,
from the beginning to the spectacular fin
ish, its leading feature. The spread of
anti-Semitism in France due partly to the
failure of a Catholic banking institution,
the Union Generale, which is supposed to
have aimed at superseding Jewish finance
Is considered the direct cause of the in
tense and passionate interest aroused by
the case, and the continual attack on the
presence of Jews as officers in the French
army made by La Libre Parole, a prom
inent French journal, also had much to
do with it.
Alfred Dreyfus is a native of Alsace,
born In 1859, and at the time he was
charged with having revealed the secrets
of French mobilization to foreign govern
ments, he was on the general staff of the
French army, was possessed of a private
Income sufficient to maintain his family
in affluence and was devoted to his mili
tary life, being intensely patriotic. On
October 15, 1S94, he was ordered to appear
before the Minister of War in civilian
clothes, under the pretense of an inspec
tion of the staff officers. Among those
present when he was ushered into the
Minister's presence was Major du Paty de
Clam, who .pretending to have hurt his
finger, asked Dreyfus to write a letter at
his dictation. The officials of the Intelli
gence Office (secret service) had obtained
possession of a treasonable document
through their paid spies, and the letter
which Dreyfus was asked to write was
this same document, the purpose being to
Identify his writing as the same used in
the document or "bordereau." In spite of
the fact that Captain Dreyfus took the
dictation calmly that the words of the
document attributed to htm did not have
anv visible effect on him when repeated
by Major du Paty de Clam, at the conclu
sion of the test the latter placed his hand
on the officer's shoulder and loudly pro
claimed: "In the name of the law, I arrest you.
You are accused of the crime of high trea
son!" Du Paty de Clam had expected that
Dreyfus would burst out with an over
whelming confession on hearing the lines
of the bordereaus which had just been
dictated to him, and a loaded revolver had
been carefully placed on the table in front
of him with the expectation that he would
commit suicide when charged with trea
son. But things turned out contrary to
the Major's expectations. Stupefied at
first by the awful and sudden charges, the
prisoner could scarcely articulate, but,
finally regaining his voice, he indignantly
pushed the revolver away, allowing him
self to be searched without resistance and
earnestly proclaimed his innocence, ask
ing his tormentors to take his keys and
examine everything in his house which
they did, to no avail.
The arrest and imprisonment of Drey
fus was kept secret for some time, dur
ing which period he was subjected to
what America terms the sweating pro
cess. It was not until October 20 that
he knew what the charges of treason
were founded on. and when he saw the
text of the bordereau he was forcible in
his protestations that it was not his
handwriting. Experts, on the first ex
amination, decided that it might have
been written by another than the pris
oner, but on later examinations, when
public sentiment against the Jewish pris
oner was at fever heat, they found a
more marked resemblance. Public opin
ion had already condemned him, and the
press had magnified the crime before the
trial took place.
The effect of the charges on Dreyfus
was terrible. The commandant of the
prison said of him: "I went to his cell.
He was in an impossible state of over
excitement. I saw before me a man really
out of his mind, with bloodshot eyes. He
had overturned everything in his cell. I
had the intuition that this man, this offi
cer, was innocent."
Du Paty de Clam, in his own account,
says that Dreyfus was required to make
specimens of his handwriting sitting,
standing, gloved and without a glove,
with different pens in each case. During
the trial the excitement of Captain Drey
fus was always extreme, and from the
corridor he could be heard groaning and
prying out. protesting his innocence. The
trial took place by court-martial at Paris
December 20. 1894. and was secret. On
the fourth day the court announced that
he was found guilty of delivering to
agents of a foreign power documents con
cerning the national defenses, and that
he was condemned to perpetual banish
ment In some fortified place. From this
conviction. Dreyfus appealed to the proper
appellate court, but the appeal was re
jected. By this time the whole world had be
come interested in the case, and descrip
tion of the public military degradation
which took place on the Champ de Mars
January 5, 1895, were published in prac
tically every newspaper in the civilized
countries of the globe. Dreyfus drank
his cup of bitterness to the dregs, but
bore his punishment like a soldier. Dur
ing the "execution" parade he preserved
a military mien, but when the accustomed
formula was pronounced by the general,
he cried out in a loud voice:
"You are degrading an Innocent man!
Long live France! Long live the army!"
He repeated this cry while an adjutant
was tearing off his stripes and reaking
his sword, and again while passing
through the shrieking, jeering crowd of
spectators who hailed him as the new
Judas.
"Devil's Island," the scene of one of
the darkest chapters in this unnatural
story, had been occupied by a leper
hospital before it became a prison for
the disgraced French Captain. On the
summit of a desolate rock a small hut
was built for him, and day and night
an inspector stood at his door with in
structions to never address a word to
him. In daytime he was allowed to
exercise In a small lnclosure of abouc
200 feet. Madam Dreyfus, whose de
votion to her husband throughout the
years of his sorrow and disgrace have
been without equal, requested permis
sion to be allowed to accompany him
In his exile, but the Minister of Wax
refused this.
Devil's Island is 27 miles off Cay
enne, French Guiana, and a most bleak
and desolate spot. The first year of
his confinement the prisoner was allowed-
to write letters home on do
mestic subjects and to have books to
read, but after a report was circulated
in France that he had escaped the
authorities took stringenc methods and
he wore chains for a long period, not
being allowed his usual exercise until
a high wall was built around the ln
closure, thus shutting off all view of
the sea.
During the unbearable life at Devil's
Island a savior appeared In France in
the person of Colonel Picquart, who
discovered that Major Escerhazy's was
the handwriting of the fatal bordereau
and that he was implicated In treason
able actions. When armed with suf
ficient proof, Picquart laid the matter
before his superiors. He was given
hints that the matter should not be
pressed too far, but, being a man of
justice and honor, he did not heed the
warnings of unscrupulous, men and
persisted in proving that Esterhazy
and not Dreyfus was guilty of treason.
He was removed to a distant military
station, and after the farce of the
Esterhazy trial and acquittal was also
stripped of his military stripes.
It was at this point of the drama, In
January, 1890, that Emile Zola stepped
to the front with his famous open let
ter, with the force and sincerity which
only a strong writer can produce, cit
ing the facts from the Dreyfus point
of view. In the last of eight strong
accusing paragraphs he stated: "I ac
cuse, finally, the first court-martial of
having violated the law in its con
viction of the accused on the strength
of a document kept secret (from him) ;
and I accuse the second court-marcial
of having covered this illegality, act
ing under orders and committing in its
turn the legal crime of knowingly ac
quitting a guilty person." The letter
ended with a request thac he might be
prosecuted for libel for which his
trial was accordingly begun January
20, 1898. To those accustomed to
American courts, the trial seemed much
out of the ordinary. The witnesses
told what they thought about the case,
and officers appeared in full uniform,
one, General Pellieux, demanding of
his own accord that he be recalled .to
state something important, refusing to
be cross-examined, and ordered that
another officer be sent for, "in order
thac he may confirm my statement."
which was done. Three successive
trials were given and at each Zola was
condemned, but when sentence of fine
and imprisonment was passed at last
he was not in France.
Then another faint beacon light ap
peared for the condemned man. On
August 30, 1898, Lieutenant-Colonel
Henry confessed to the authorship of
a letter which went far to condemn
Dreyfus, afterward committing suicide.
After repeated struggles in Parlia
ment and several changes of the Cab
inet, a commission appointed to consid
er the demand for a revision of the
court-martial sentence gave a tie vote
on the question, but the Cabinet de
cided to lay the matter before the Court
of Cassation. On November 15, 1S98, the
court ordered that Dreyfus be informed
of the proceedings and Invited to de
fend himself. The court held its inquiry
in secret, but a copy of its proceedings
was obtained by the Figaro and pub
lished in April, 1899, going far to de
stroy the case against Dreyfus in pub
lic opinion. The findings of thet court
were read on May 29. 1899, and held
that Esterhazy wrote the bordereau.
On June 3 following the court annulled
the sentence on Dreyfus and ordered
his trial by a new court-martial at
Rennes Then Du Paty de Clam was
arrested for complicity wlHi Henry.
General Pellieux was tried for complic
ity with Esterhazy and the latter was
again prosecuted.
Dreyfus was landed from the cruiser
Sfax, which brought him home from
Devil's Island, on July 1, 1899, at Port
Houliguen. near Zuiberon, and his trial
began at Rennes on August 7. The evi
dence for the defense was restricted so
as to prevent a complete vindication.
The Generals who procured Dreyfus'
condemnation stood together, led by
Mercier and defended their tampering
with the evidence. Public feeling on
both sides was roused to fever pitch
and Labor!, Dreyfus lawyer, was shot
by an i.nti-Jewish fanatic during the
trial.
The court by a vote of 5 to 2 found
Dreyfus guilty with extenuating cir
cumstances on September 9, 1899, and
sentenced him to be pensioned
for ten years, but recommended
him to the indulgence of the
War Office. The whole world was
amazed and indignant and nobody in
France was satisfied. The government
met the difficulty by pardoning Drey
fus and remitting the entire penalty
and on September 20 he was liberated.
He Immediately wrote a letter to the
President of the republic asserting his
innocence and declaring that he would
know no rest nor peace until his honor
was restored.
The new proceedings before the Su
preme Court have taken the form of a
judicial examination of the evidence
and argument upon it by counsel. Once
squarely before a civil court and re
moved from the prejudicial military of
ficers, the mass of forgery and perjury
by which Dreyfus was condemned is
quickly brushed aside as worthless.
