"The Ariah whom I married for convenience, and iii retufin for eash, died at Je'ddah, and for political' miotives I was arrested on a trumped-up chargie. But I was reeognised a§ completely dnnoeent by a judgment de■livered iby the MJoslem judge. The French Goviernment, however, did untervene whien I was arrested."
