MRS. GABRIELLE BOMPARD.
BY HENRI JENE DU BOIS.
New York, Jan. 23. Gabrlelle Bompard
Jh to ba sent back to England from Ellis
Island. Doctor Krierdorff, who camo with
hsr. Is to sell his furs, rings and scalf pins
so that she shall not have to travel in tho
steerage. She has a pearl necklace, pearls
at her ears, furs, a medallion of strange
ancient Persian art, but she will not sell
them.
She sent to roe a letter of introduction
from one of my classmates, a dear frlesd.
He is Intelligent, experienced, kind and
adores bis wife. She has persuaded Ga
brlelle Bompard that America wanted to
see her rehearse In a trance her p&rt in
the murder of Gouffe that startled the
world fifteen years ago
She wrote under her letter of Introduc
tion to me an appeal to take her out of
Ellis Island. I went there to see her. She
was in ih Commissioner's office and
seemed to be at home. I may describe in
a word the Impression tnat she makes
upon one. She does not appear to be "nat
ural." Uhls term is obscure, I know, and
badly expresses my thought.
She came to me, saying to the Commis
sioner: "X know Mr.du Sola." This was
not tfu.. sine we'ntd never seen each
other, but the accent with which it was
said was stranger stliL if crystal could
speak it would speak In that way.
She wore a snort gray skirt, a gray
Jacket and a fur cape. Tnls dress did not
become her. and she seemed to be in a
sort of disguise.
NO REMORSE, NO PLEASURES.
"Have you no remorse?" I asked her.
"No," she replied, smiling.
"Then." I said. " ou have no pleasures."
"No." she replied.
I Bald to her that she was a public peril.
I told her that hypnoUsm was a super
stition of science, even as the black art
was a superstition of ignorance. I pleaded
for Doctor Krierdorff.
"He is young, of good antecedents," I
said. She replied that he was more learned
than I imagined, that he was a pupil of
Charcot nnd sincerely interested In hypno
tism She said that he loved her.
"He says that he has much power over
you, that he hypnotizes you. Will you
not disillusionise him?" I asked.
"No," she replied. "I do not know what
I am doing1 when he has put me to sleep."
"You know what happens," I said. "You
fro through all the phaoes of Gouffe's mur
der. Aren't you sorry?"
"No," she replied. "I feel nothing."
"You were under contract In Paris with
William Ravel, whose father and uncles
were celebrated as clowns here years
ago." I said. "He had a real Interest In
you. He spent much money to obtain an
engagement for you among managers of
extraordinary shows."
"He was not successful at once," she re
DEED CONVEYING LOUISIANA
TERRITORY IN STE. GENEVIEVE
Valuable Old Document "Which Was Given by Spain
May Be Exhibited in the Historical Section of
State Building at the World's Fair.
One of the most valuab'e historic docu
ments In Missouri is in the vaults of the
old Catholic Church at Ste. Genevieve.
It has reposed there for many years
'among the treasures of the ancient parish,
and has now come to be looked upon as
part of the archives of the church.
The document is the original Instrument
conveying the Louisiana Territory from
Spain to France, and confirming the'grants'
of land madu to churches and individuals
Jjy the former country. Many of these
grants are still In effect and being en
joyed by descendants of the pioneers of
the Mississippi Valley.
At this time the document Is particu
larly interesting because of the celebra
tion of the centennial of the Louisiana
Purchase 'with the World's Fair. It K
understood that an effort will be made to
secure the paper to exhibit In the historic
.section of the MIseourl State building.
The Unliea States Government-will ex
hibit in Us Exposition building the orig
inal document wnich conveyed the Louis
iana Territory trom France to the United
States. If the older deed couni be se
cured It wouid make the chain complete
and add greatly to the interest and value
of the historical exhibits.
, The' Reverend Father Charles L. van
Tourenhout, pastor of bte. Genevieve, says
there is no aouDt oi tne authenticity oi
tho document. He has complete knowl
edge of Its history from the time of Its
signing down to the present day. It Is
written In French and la full of the for
mality which fl led important legal docu
ments of that day.
FAMOUS SIGNERS OF TREATY.
On the purt ot France the document la
signed by Charles Dehault Dei&ssus. Gov
ernor under Napoleon of the Louisiana
Territory. There are two originals of the
document, one in French and the other In
Spanish. The latter was sent to Spain
and may stlil be seen there, and the for
mer Is the one In 8te- Genevieve.

The document came Into the hands of
the pastor of Bte. Genevieve from Kas-

first capital of Illinois, and one of the old

the Parisian Interest in me will not fide

SHE THREATENS TO RETURN.
"It is not to be provoked," I cald. "if
sensible persons may have the slightest
power. I think that, even if the Commi3
slorer had not a legnl right to snd jou
back to Europe, it would ue his duty."
"I want to go back." she replied im
passlbly, "but 1 do not want to go back In

that. Perhaps I will return here In a first

"Is there anything that one con do to

asked.

LOMBROSO'S VIEWS.
Among the many distinguished profes
sors of criminal anthropology who have
at times dealt with the case of Gabrlelle
Bompard, and who have consistently re
fused to accept the Legcols theory that
she was the subject of hypnotic Influence,
are Pioftssors Mottet and Doctor Ccsnre
Lombroso. In Lombroso's view Gabnelle
Bompard represents man' points of re
semblance to Sophie Gamier ami Xo
BuschchemL "Bompard," he says, "pre
sents all the characteristics, rarely met
with in women, of the born criminal. Her
stature was 1 meter 46; her development
was rudimcntar and enabled ner to dres
as a man and accompany Ejraud evrv
whore without detection. She has i livid
pallor: thick, dark hair, almost black; ab
normal and precocious wrinkles; a short,
hollowed-oiit nose: a heavy Jaw. an asv
metrlcal face, and sessile ear and Mon
golian curingnathlsm. It l a matter of
record that feminine criminality id more
cvntcal than that of man
"The perversity of mind of the female
criminal Is more fertile in devising new
crimes than that of a Judge in devising
new punishments. Bompard. attracted by
a rich booty, urged Ejraud to murder
GoulTe The pemlmascullne virility ard
power In her face nrd the enormous width
and depth of Jaw flatly contradict the the
ory that she was controlled by Ejraud. A
close studv of these two companions in
crime leads inevitably to the conclusion
that Bompard's Intellect was of the higher
order, and tin: she nlanned ard perfected
the preparations for the murder of
GoulTe." The "wrinkles" reported by
Doctor Lombrosko are the wrinkles under
the skin, found In nearly all classes of
criminal degenerates.

ing In 1S03. It was filed in the archives
of the Kaskaskla church
In recent jears the Mississippi River
has plajcd sad havoc with the parish of
Kaskai"Ia. The mighty stream has est
'into the rich farming land, and each year
carried away .dozens of acres. From be
ing part of Illinois the parish came Into
Missouri. The river cut through the back
of It. leaving It for a time an island, and
finally threw It to Missouri.
The town of Kaskaskla was at the
northern end of the doomed parish. Tear
by year the river encroached upon it until
Its houses began to tumble into the stream,
"hen the river bank came to a point
within a fow hundred feot of the church
and cemetcrv steps were taken to save
iwhat remained of historical value In the
pace.
An appropriation was made by the Il
linois Legislature to remove the bones of
the early settlers from the cemetery to a
,new burying ground, on a bluff opposite
the doomed town, and high above danger
from the .river. It wan decided to abandon
the old church and build a new one farther
back on the Island.
Just before the old edifice fell before
the fun of the eprjng floods the historic
cession deed was given to Father van Tou
renhout to keep safely In the vaults of
his church. He accepted the trust, and
the document has remained In his pos
session since.
