Who- Plgured Is the Plot. have
beds Called he Account.
Two nights before Prof. David S. R.
Lambert, of Wilton, was so shockingly
murdered at his home. a quartette ‘sat
at a card table in West Thirty-fourth
street, New York, drinking and car-
oustng. At that time and in that place.
it is said, arrangements for the rob-
bery of the Wilton schoolmasters
home were completed. The persons
who comprised the party Were Ben
Willis. Fred Max ,Brockhaus. Madam
Louise and Caroline Carter.'a woman
of the world, who was engaged to mar-
ry Willis at one time. Madam Louise,
'who was mistress of the apartments,
was the mother of the dark eyed er-
ratic Willis.
The awful tragedy at Wilton can
never be forgotten by those who recall
the fiendish manner In which the aged
professor was shot down like a dog.
as he entered his own home at dusk,
the evening of December 17. 1897. Since
then the death of the old schoolmas-
ter has been avenged. so far as It was
in the the power of the law to do so.
Whether it can be called retributive
justice or not, it is a fact that every
member of that quartette who sat dis-
cussing the details of the crime have
passed to the great beyond.
Madam Louise died shortly after the
execution of her son. and her remains
were interred in Poter's field. Brock-
haus was hanged at Wetbersfield last
week, and the tiny following. Caroline
Carter. the last of the quartette. died
suddenly in a concert hall in the
Bowery. Her corpse was taken to the
morgue, where it lay for twenty-four
hours and not being claimed. was hur-
ried to Potter's field, where it‘ was laid
beneath the earth. '
A Bridgeport Farmer reporter learn-
while in New York of the death or
e Carter woman and of Madame
.culse. The party who had gave the
‘ . information had just come from a
h s«
pital. where Eugenia Esposlta is dy’.
Eugenia was Brockhaus' sweethe rt,
and her testimony at his trial will be
recalled by those who followed the
court career of the young Teuton. At
that time It was apparent. that she
was sickly. and it Is said the disease
with which she is aflllcted belongs to
the class commonly termed incurable.
It seems as if the hand of fate hart
fallen heavily upon everyone connect-
ed with the terrible crime.

A DBEYI’IIS DICTIONARY.
Brief Rosanne of the Significance of the
Terms Used lathe Trial.
During the five and a half years that
the Dreyfus case has been prominent-
ly before the world there have crept
into it a number of terms designated
to describe certain documents of im-
portance bearing upon the guilt or in-
nocence of the accused There are-so
many of these peculiar terms employed
that not one person in l0,000 under~
stands their significance. The. facts
which are given In the little "diction
ary" which follows may for that rea-
son assist in a proper comprehension
of the case: .
The Bordereau—The document found
In hits among the waste paper at the
German embassy, pieced together. and
attributed to Dreyfus. though undoubt-
edly Esterhazy wrote It. It offers se—
cret information and is of course lin-
slgncd and undated.
The Secret Dossier-A collection of
more or less‘ private documents bear-
lrig on the case only one of which, rin-
less the war office has manufactured
any more forgeridir. mentions Dreyfus
by name, and this is absolutely coni-
monplace and innocent.
The “Dixl” Article—Written by Es-
terhazy In The Parole. bitterly attack-
ing Picquart on private Information
Illegally lent him by the war once.
The ”Blanche" and "Spernnza" Tcl«
egrams—Two telegrams forged by Du
Paty de Clam and Esterbazy and sent
to Picquart with the object of “bluf-
fing” him into the belief that a lady
who was in the "plot" had given away
the ”secret" that be forged the Estcr-
hazy “petit blcu."

vice and forfnd at the German embas-
sy written by Colonel Von Schwarz-
koppen. the German military attache.

was torn up. the writer having changed
his mind about sending it. This Es-
tcrhazy contends Is a forgery.
The chlcr Letter—A forged lcttcr
incriminating Dreyfus. sent to the war
ofilce; author probuly De Clam.
(Ye Canaille Dc D-A phrase In one of
thc documcnts of the secret dossier.
Does not rcfcr to Dreyfus. but to a

referred to in my note of August 30.

the convention. but which might be.
readily settled by friendly communl—,
cation between representatives of the

will not be the case, the reply of the
Transvaal should be negative of con-
clusive. I am to state that her major—
ty's government must reserve to them-
selves tbe right to consider the situa-
tion de new and formulate their own
proposals for a final settlement."
