Then there will be a large body of

The Philippine group will require
a large arms - . It 1* doubtful if the
native* there are capable of self-gov

independent or grant them the fran

No more was to be said. Magistrate*.
<l«rgy and people were fully ronvlnr*.l
that that was the rase. They scouted
all n< tlon of sulelde. The entire fnm
-1 Ry. including n friend who had taken
supper with them, and the servant
j were immediately arrested, and Mare
j Antoine was treated as a martyr.
But even In thosr time* they eoiihl
I not convict a msn wUhout some evi
dence. snd here to where the Aral strik
ing resero bis nee to the Dreyfus ease
occurs. Not having a scrap of evi
dence against the Cains family, yet be
ing determined to convict, they were
forced to manufacture some. Even the
etorgy announced from the puloll tha*
r!l who had any knowledge of this
matter by hearsy or otherwise should
produce It. Even then the Imagination
of the people could not supply any di
rect evidence against the family, but a
| large amount of hearsay testimony
sprang up. One man testified that a
la y who had bepn In the crowd told
j In in ihnl he hsd heard a voice cry mi,:
I "Oh. mnn Dim. they are strangling
I me." When searched for the boy
! could not be found, a fact that bore
heavily against the accused. Another
witness teat Bed that some one, he had
forgotten whom, had tcld him that one j
of Ills frtonds had told him that Ills i
apprentice had told him that be had j
heard a voice begging for mercy. This j
important, evidence was admitted by |
jI he court. It wns gravely asseried that ,
It must have been murder, for the vie- !
j t ini ertuld not possibly have hanged j
j himself in the position described, dltls
the court accepted without
trouble to send an officer to examine ;
Into its truth. And yet this court was
no ordinary tribunal, but a special
committee of the Parliament of Tou
louse. On March 9. 1762. this commit
tee, oti evidence of no more value than
the above, rendered a verdict of guilty
against Jean Calas. end sentenced him
to torture and death; hoping in this
nay to force from bint n confession
that would justify his cwn conviction
and that of the rest of the family. This j
sentence was
Executed the Next Day.
But Jean Calas. having nothing to con- :
fess, remained silent, and the baffled :
court wns forced to release the rest of |
the prisoners. It contented itself with j
putting the daughters in a convent and I
confiscating the property.
Such was the first slage of the case,
a stage in which popular passions, re
flected only too accurately by thr au
thorities, overrode all law ami justice.
A few days after the execution of
dean Calas, a merchant who had been
in Toulouse at the time, and on whom
the tragedy had made a gi-pat impees
sirn, was visiting Voltaire, and told
him the story. Voltaire was not much
impressed, saying that unnatural as it
was to suppose that a father would kill

to think that an intelligent and uribi-

used court would wrongfully condemn
a man to aurh a death. But he was
sufficiently Interested to make other
inquiries, snd quickly came to the cor
rect conclusion, that Catos and his en
tire family were Innocent. He then
threw the whole force of hi* will and
Intellect Into the struggle to ravers**
the Judgment. The Calas family w»r
nothing to him. but It was a great deal
to him that aucti a fearful wrong should
take place In France He soon saw
that It wss Impossible to do anything
with the parliament of Toulouse. That
body, like the present general Ktaff of
France, refused to admit the possibility
lof error, would on no account reopen
1 the rase, and would permit no one to
i see the records of It.
Voltaire returned to Farts. H - wrote
himself, to the minister of Justice, and
interesting all his Influential i lends,
and through them their friends, he
deluged the minister with letters, urg
ing ii revision of the case. Ha pub
lished
Pamphlet After Pamphlet,
Telling the whole story, ami pleading
powerfully for Justice to this unfortu
nate family. He engaged the nblcst
lawyers in France to push th>* ease,
and he paid all these expenses out of
his own pocket. He was slow’v arous
ing public opinion that would demand
a revision In an unmistakable way.

Since the public opinion of France
was Insufficient. Voltaire determined
to call that of Europe to his aid. Hl*
letter* and pamphlet* on tha rase were
translated Into several languages aud
scattered broadcast. AH Europe was
aroused to indication; snbscrintlona

King of Poland and from many Ger
man Prlncea. Dnder all this p. azure

last consented. Just one year af'er the
death of Calas, to have the ea*» re
viewed by n commission. This com
mission ordered the records of ttjeease
to be furnished by the Parliament of
Toulouse, and a new trial to be held
iti Paris. There were still many de
lays, so that II was two years more be
fore the final verdict was rendered, but
when It came it was a complete /Indi

dren, his guest and his servant were
pronounced absolutely innorent of th*
charge against them, and the family
reinstated, as far as possible, tn their
old possessions.
