J. B. Jcnner gltes a description of
the ensue made famous ly Alexander
lutuas in bis novel of "M"nte Crlsto.
: "Ybo bas not read the fount
Uonte Crlsto' and formed aa opiulou
Is to Its possibilities? I bad uiy doubts
regarding Us truthfulucss, for the ter-
rible tale swiiis to appear exaggerated
and Impossible, but I am now convinc
ed tbat Dumas lias Intended to place
before u a fairly accural picture of
tbe grcwsome prlou of bygoue days.
"During my travels lu south Franc,
irblle Mopping at Marseilles, I bad an
opportunity to join a small party on a
steamer pi) lug betweeu the city and
group of Islands In tbe Mediterranean
aea belonging to France. Tbe smallest
of this group, a solid rock, not more
than a quarter of a mil In circumfer
ence, rising almost uprigbt out of the
water and accessible only on on side
by steps bewn Into tbe rock, Is known
as the Isle dlf.
"On tills rock Is built tbe celebrated
prison, or castle, the chateau dlf,
which Dumas bas Immortalized In bis
Mont Crlsto.'
"!he keep, or dungeon, was construct
d In 1529 by King Francis I. to Im
prison bis captives after the victorious
battles with bis adversary, the Duke of
Bourbon, and subsequently used for
centuries by the later klnga as a state
prison. It was known at that time as
tb 'rtaatile of the south.'
"The outside walls ar fifteen feet
thick. In tbe middle is a small open
court sufficient to give light . to the
entrances of fourteen encircling cells,
' which are divided by partition walls
ten ftet thick and can be entered only
by one small opening from the Inner
court
"Directly opposite the entrance to th
court is the cell which was occupied by
Ednirnd Dantes, made famous by
Alexander Dumas as the hero the
Count of Monte Crlsto. Dantes and
the Abbe Farla, who was seutenced by
order of the pope a a conspirator,
each passed sixteen years of their lires
In ths cells.
"Tl suffering of these and other un
bappj prisoners who were confined
here must have been horrible. The
cells lack air and light The walls,
ceiling and floor are of solid stone, and
escape was utterly Impossible, It be
ing a veritable sepulcber.
feels that from behind thes walls you
bear the cry of suffering, the last
breath and rattle of those who died la
despair.
"Alt of , the other cells ar labeled
with th name of th moat rtromlnent
prisoners who bad baen Incarcerated
therein. Among these were:
"Bemrdot, a rich trader, who had
been arrested on suspicion of having
designs against Cardinal Richelieu, lie
resolved to dl of starvation, and for
eleven days refused to eat or drink.;
With a piece) f charcoal h wrote 6a '
0e wall th torture which be endured.
II died on the twelfth day.
, John Paul, a sailor, for slapping his
commander, died in 1779 after thirty
one years of captivity.
"Marquis de Lavelette, th minister
Of finance under Louis VIII., for dis
loyalty to tbe king.
Aiuni tiu nj. a w i .in . iu. uu un uttu
tbe secret of a prison which he bad
discovered.
"Paul and Louis MarteL Imprisoned
for life on suspicion of murder.
"ftoisHOW, a religious fanatic, who
made an attempt upon the life of a
I'rotestant nobleman.
"Lajolalg, for an attempt to assassl
nate Consul Napoleon before he be
came emperor.
"Prince Casimlr, brother of Lndlslas
VII., king of Poland, Imprisoned by
Napoleon I. on having betrayed the
French and serving the Spanish.
"Louis Philippe d'Urleans, father of
King Louis Philippe, for Hiding with
the revolutionists In 17I3.
"Mirabean, for general liwubonlina
tiou, dueling and publishing lutlamina
tory writings ngalnt the royalists.
"Chevalier de Ballesieros, consul
from Hpalu at ftoyotine, Imprisoned by
order of Napoleon I. for opposing and
interfering with the Introduction of tbe
Napoleonic law codes.
"This castle was crowded with polit
ical prisoners sentenced during and Im
mediately before the revolution of 1789,
when It was possible fot the leaders to
order the arrest and Imprisonment of
any citizen without trial and upon sus
picion or "trumped up" charges.
"Napoleon I. during his early reign
sentenced many of his oppoeers to this
Isolated dungeon.
"In 1853 over 400 persons, principally
political agitators, were Imprisoned
her for an attempted plot to over
throw th government and as lata as
187L during the commune, 000 were
massed together In this limited space,
sentenced as participants in the revolt
against th government
"Sine Franc has becom a republic
nw prisons hav been erected through
out th land, and tbe dungeon on th
Isle d'lf Is now deserted, but It dark
and grewsom history of the past can
never be blotted out
'1 left It with an Indelible Impression
after having been conducted through
th empty prison cells." Milwaukee
