LIKE MESSAGE FROM DEAD

Photograph* of Fez Massacre Victim* Are Found After Their Death. Like a message from the grave hare arrived at the office of L’lllustration In. Paris some photographs taken just a few days before the massacre at Fez, in which the photographer himself, Jean Bringau, and his young and charming wife, met their deaths, together with other members of the French colony. On the day following the signing of the treaty acknowledging the protectorate by France the sultan invited to his palace several French officials and their wives. Mulai Hafld was in excellent humor, and was particularly attentive to Mme. and Mlle. Regnault, Mme. Jacques Dnmersnll, wife of the deputy for Seine-et-Marne, and Mme. Max Choublier. M. Bringau was also present, and the sultan insisted that he photograph the party. Mulai Hafld also operated the camera himself and took several pictures. A few days later while M. and Mme. Bringau were breakfasting with some friends the revolt of the Shereefan troops began,, and the crazed soldier* started their bloody work. The plate* of L’lllustration's picture* were found In the ruins of M. Brlngau’s dining room, and were later developed in Paris.
