Truth ItovVulnil by Itpcnnt
However great the power ot legend , hls-
ory eventually triumphs over It. Truth In
Istory Is like n chip Hauling In the current
f a titrcam ; nt times the waves sweep over
nd submerge It , but It rises again to the
urfacc. The next number ot the Paris
ovuc Hlstorlquc , the leading French maga-
no of history , \ylll contain an arllclo which
coinst to establish nt last beyond dispute the
lentlty of lhat famous prisoner of the Bas
ic known as "The Man with t'ho Iron Mask , "
his unravels at last one ot the apparcnlly
opcless mysteries ot history.
Slnco this mysterious captive died , nearly
wo centuries ago , says the New York
Vorld , enough books have been written about
Ini lo fill a library. The first account
f his Imprisonment was p * Inted at Amslcr-
itin In 1745 , and was In Ihe form ot an nl-
cgory , the bceno ot which was laid In
'crsla. ' In 17G1 the great Voltaire , who had
ho best nose for Interesting news of any
lan In the eighteenth century , revived the
ale In his "Ago ot Louis XIV , " published
n Berlin In 1751. Ho added much Inter-
stlng Information which ho obtained at
rst hand , for during his llfo ha was In-
Imalely acquainted with most ot the per-
onagcs of this romantic dtuma. But
, roltalro never allowed Ihe truth to sl.tnd In
Is way when ho had the foundation for an
nUTcstlw ; story , whlsli accounts for his
ntcrtalnlng fiction regarding the Identity of
ho Mask that by some has been accepted
s fact.
VOLTAIRE'S STORY.
Voltalro says that the queen , wlfo of Louis
XIII , after giving birth to Louis XIV , was
ellvcred at a subsequent hour of a second
on , whoso birth the king resolved to con-
cal , to avoid a dispute about a succession to
ho throne , It being the opinion of certain
egal authorities that the first born of twins
IBS a doubtful claim to any Inheritance de-
) ondlng upon birth. With this view the child
van confided to a nurse , and afterward to a
governor , who took htm to his seat in Bur-
; undy , where , growing to manhood , the child
llscovercd tbe secret of his birth , nnd was
orthwlth placed In confinement , with a mask
o conceal his features , which were the exact
'ounlorpart to his brother , the king's. Un-
ortunatcly for tlio truth of the tale , Voltalro
iad no proofs to back it up. Napoleon I was
ncllned to bellcvo Voltaire's story , and had a
borough but unsuccessful search made of
ho national archives In order to verify it.
Since Voltaire's tlmo many theories have
jcen advanced as to the Identity of the mys-
orlous Man of the Iron Mask , but they have
all failed for lack of substantial proof upon
some material point. The prisoner has been
denuded during the past two centuries as :
The duke of VermamloU , natural son of
Dills XIV and the beautiful Louise do la
Valllcrc.
The elder brother of Louis XIV. son of
Anne of Austria and the duke ot Bucking-
lam.
Son of Anne ot Austria and Cardinal Maza-
rin.
rin.A Boldler of fortune named Marcchlel , who
s alleged to bavo headed a conspiracy to
assassinate the king and his ministers.
General dc Bulonde , who raised the siege
of Cuneo unnecessarily and compromised the
success of ono of Louis XIV's campaigns.
The unknown captive Is described as tall
_ nd of distinguished bearing. The mask he
voro was ot black velvel , the 'chin piece
being fitted \\ith ascul springs , whfch en
abled him to cat without removingIt. ; , '
' "
THE REAL MAN.
And now the Identity of this man of mys-
ery nnd hero of fiction Is fixed.
This mysterious prisoner now proves to
iave been Count Hercule Antolno Mattloll ,
ecrotary of state to Charles IV , duke of
Mantua. Hero Is the story of his treacnery
and how ha was punished for It by the king
of Franco-
During his campaigns In Savoy and Pled-
nont Louis XIV became master of the for-
rcss of Plgnorol and cast covetous eyes upon
he city of Casale , on the river Po , thirty-
light miles east of Turin , whose possession
vas of the greatest Importance to him , as It
gave access lo the whole of Lombardy. Casale
vas the capital of the duchy of Montferrat ,
one of the provinces rnlpd over by Charles
V of Gonzaga , duke of Mantua , a young man
vho was squandering his revenues In dlsslpa-
ion. The court of Versailles conceived , as n
ast resort , the plan of buying Casalc out
right from Its ruler , and the Abbe d'Estrados ,
ambassador of Prance to the Republic of
Venice , succeeded In gaining the Inlluenco of
Count Mattloll , Charles IV's secretary of
state , who in turn obtained the consent of
lis master. The Mantuan minister went to
i'arls , where Louis XIV loaded him with
'avors and gifts , and December 8 the deed
was signed.
The terms of the treaty were :
1. That the duks of Mantua should receive
the French troops at Casalc.
2. That If the king of France should send
an army Into Italy the duke of Mantua
should have command of It.
3. That Immediately after the execution of
the trcily th ? duke of Mantua should be paid
100.000 crowns.
The negotiations were necessarily carried
on with the utmost'sccrccy , for the age was
ono of continual Intrigue betwofn the petty
Italian states , BO me ot which Spain also
wished to add to her possessions.
TREACHERY.
On his way back from Paris Matlloll sold
the secret of the treaty to President Turkl ,
one of the ministers of the court of Savoy ,
for a largo sum or money , and allowed him
to take copies ot all the documents. After
this act ot treachery It Is not surprlslrtg
that Mattloll should do tils utmost to delay
the ratification and fulfillment ot the treaty.
The French were naturally eager to complete
the transaction and take possession of
Casale. Their negotlalor and Ihelr general
were both ready , but Matlloll sent fitting
excuses for postponing Ihe ; final act , until
suspicions liegan to ba entertained concernIng -
Ing his fidelity.
Nevertheless , appearances were kept up
and an appointment was eventually made to
exchange the ratifications at Increa , a village
near Casale , the duke repairing in person to
Casalc to deliver It Into the hands of the
French Immediately afterwards. But
d'Estrades , the French envoy charged with
the ratification. wa arrested as he passed
through the Milanese from' Venice , owing to
the machinations ot Mattloll , it was supposed ,
and although another person , Catlnat ( after
wards the celebrated marshal ) , was instantly
appointed to supply the arrcited envoy's place ,
Mattloll betook himself to Venice Instead ot
keeping the appointment at Increa. Catlnat ,
who was then but a brigadier , actually pro
ceeded to Increa , and narrowly escaped being
seized by a detachment ot cavalry sent for
the purpoic of capturing him.
After this there could bo little doubt of
Mattloli'fl treachery , but the French were lee
Intent on the completion of the arrangement
to break with him entirely , aud the charge
d'affaires at Venice urged him by combined
threats nnd-promises to repair to Turin mid
confer with d'Estrades , who dad been re
leased and was then nt that city. Mattloll
yielded at last , and In the course of time prc-
sonted himself to d'Kstrades at Turin , with
many lame excuses for the delay caused.
D'Estrades had obtained , meantime , proofs
of Maltloll's treachery from the duchess ol
Bavoy herself , who showed him ( ho copies
ot the documents relative to the surrender ol
Casale.
THE KIDNAPPING.
Louis XIV was a man of tbe most cgotlu-
tlcal and revengeful nature , and , finding hluf
self deceived and betrayed , gave vent tt
fierce indignation and avowed to avenge hlm <
self on the traitor. The night of May 2
1C79 , Louis' emissaries lured Mattloll Into tu
ambuih In the environs of Turin , where IH
was seized , masked ( Ihe rer-ords nr vorj
positive on Ihl * point ) and taken to the fort
ress of I'lgnerol.
It was undoubtedly requlilto that so fla <
grant on act as the itlzure ot a inintitor plea <
tpotentlary , which Mattloll actually iraa a
the time , should bo kept. It poisiblo , a pro
found secret.Vhlla Louli XIV wai not a' '
alt scrupulous about Invading hli uolfbbori

he prlnc * lintneillatcly Injured vrnn wetk ftml
owerless , yet It Involve * ! a broach of the law
if nations , In the vindication of which nil
10 powers were Interested nml might com-
'no. This was the motive of the mink mul
ystery which forever nftcr concealed Mnt-
011 from human ejen.
At I'lKncrol It U said that St. Man , the
overnor , showed his prisoner the utmost
onslderntlon , served him himself And pro *
Idod h.m with everything that ha desired In
10 way of food nnd clothes. The captive was

The Man with Hie Iron Mask dlrd Novem-
ier 19 , 1703 , regarding which Dyonca writes :
' 'The unknown prisoner ( whoso face Is cov-
ired with n black velvet mask ) whom St.
.tars . had brought with him and Imd kept
onn under his charge , feeling slightly Indls-
wsed after attending mass , died today at 10
t night without having experienced any con-
Idcrablo Illness. Ho could not have suf-
'oreil less. M. Glrnut , our chaplain , con-
'ossed him yesterday. Surprised by death ,
10 was unnblj to recelvo the sacraments , and
ur chaplain exhorted him Vor a moment bo-
'oro ho died. Ho was Interred Tuesday , the
'Oth of November , at 4 In the afternoon , In
ho cemetery of St. Paul. Ills funeral cost
0 llvres. "
Dyonca's cxactitudo Is fully berne out by
n extract from the register of burials for
ho parish of St , Paul , accredited to the
Icar , under his hand , February 9 , 1790. This
miry Is as fellows :
"In Iho year 1703 , the 19th of November ,
led nt the Dastllo , Mnrohlall , aged 45 , or
hereabouts. The body was Interred In the
urlal ground of St. I'aul on the 20lh ot said
nonth In Ihe presence of M. Hosarges , major
f the Uastlle , and of M. Hclh , sergeant ot tlio
Instill ? , who have adlxed their signatures. "
Marchlall was nn assumed name given lo
tfllo Inquiry , as was also the nllcged age et
ho dead man.
After his death the utmost care was taken
0 destroy every vestige of his existence.
Svcrythlng that he had been In the habit ot
using , his clothes , betiding , etc. , was burnt.
The walls of his room were scraped nnd re-
ilastered , the window panes were changed ,
nd , according to some authorities , the body
tsef ! was consumed with quicklime.
1'HOOFS OF IDKNTITY.
Now for the proof Identifying Count Mat-
loll with that masked prisoner who entered
lie Hastlle that September afternoon nearly
, wo hundred years ago.
The order of Louis XIV , dated April 2S ,
C79 , to arrest Mattloll and Imprison him
.t I'lgnerol contains these words : . "No man
nust know what becomes of this .man , "
Cutlimt afterwards wrote to Lttvols , th
tench mlnrstcr of war : "No ono knows
he name of this knave , not even the oQl-
: crs who aided In his arrest. " Finally an
talian pamphlet published In 1682 , two
rears after the event and this Is Im
portant dfty years before the Identity of the
Mask began to bo much 'discussed , says ;
'The secretary ot state ( Mattloll ) was sur ?
rounded by ten or twelve troopers , , who
iplzed , masked and carried him. to Plgnerol. "
It Is established by the prison register ot
ho Uastllo that the masked man waa "a
irUoner whom St. Mars had had with hlr.i
'or many years at I'lgnerol. " In August ,
GS1 , St. Mars resigned the governorship ot
: 'lgnerol for that ot The Isles. At that time
all of the prisoners except dvo who had been
under his surveillance when he took charge
ivoro either dead or at liberty. This rolnt
3 well established. The llvo were : Danger
nd La HIvlere. Bcrvuils of Foucquet ,
who had been Louis XIV's uperlntendent ot
finance , and who was condemned for pecula
tion and Imprisoned at I'lgnerol , where he
died ; an Insane Jacobin , a man namsd Du-
brell , and , finally , Mattloll. The masked
man must necessarily have ocen one of
heso five. Li nivlero ( lied December.
C3C , the mad Jacobin died towards the end
of 1G93 , St. Mars took Dauber with him to
The- Isles , nnd the masked man was trans-
'erred directly from PJgncrol to Ides Salnte
Marguerite. There remained but Dubrcll.
whoso arrest had been made publicly anil
about whose Imprisonment there was no
nystery. Ho was a pelty spy , such as
hey seized In those days In Alsace and In
ho Palatinate. Thus It Is mathematically-
iroved that the Mask was Matlloll.
The masked prisoner was burled November
! 0 , 1703. In the cemetery of St.'Paul. M.
'Icrro Ilcrtrand , the learned librarian of the
: nlnl6try of foreign affairs , has found upon the
burial register of that date the record of the
ntcrinent of Matlloll , secretary of slate lo
ho duke ot Mantua.
Louis XIV once told Mme. do Pompadour ,
who repeated It to Ihe duo de Clfolseul ,
hat the "Man with th Iron-Mask" had been
an Italian minister of state ; and Louis XVI
1 tat uil to Marie Antoinette that ho knew ntth-
ng of the mysterious prisoner , except , that
Maurcpas , the old secretary of state ill Ilia
Malson du Hoi , had once assured him that
'ho was simply a prisoner who was very dfn-
: erous from his Intriguing spirit ; that he
was a subject of the duke of Mantua , and had
been arrested upon Ihe frontier , kept captive
at Plgncrol and then at the Itaitlle. "
Such arc the four principal arguments In
siippor'r of this theory. Separately each Is
decisive , and together they have an air of
absolulc certitude.
