At first he smashed a great deal Into the net and out of court and Ward's steadiness prevented his eldo from losing many games. When the score stood four games all In the first set Davis began to steady wonderfully and from that time his smashes were almost Invincible. He fairly drove his way through the next two games and won the set 6-4. They also won the next two sets 6-4 , C-3.

FATE IS FIXED BEFOREHAND ( Continued from First rose. ) Colonel Plcquart's methods of witching Mmo. Fays. In regard to Kstorhazr , Gen- crnl noget admitted the former was a gambler nod nn Immoral character. Hut ho assorted : "While- have acknowledged his little fallings , I nevertheless maintain ho hns been the victim of abominable persecu tion. " General Iloget next opoko of the arrest at Dclfort of Qucnclll , declaring that Pic- quart cooked tip the allegations ot spying against Qucnclll In order to attract to him self the approval of his superiors. The witness then dwelt upon the nllegcd devices of Dreyfus to procure Information from the various bureaus In regard to the mobilization and concentration ot troops , pointing out that while Intelligent nnd In dustrious , Dreyfus was "far too Inquisitive In matters which did not concern him , to the detriment of his proper duties. " Replying to a question of the court , Gen eral Ilogot said that so far as ho know Dreyfus had only once been given an Imaginary task as a test. The prisoner listened Intently to the wit ness. Dreyfus' self-control contrasting markedly "with his excitement of yesterday. M. Dcmango asked Colonel Jouaust , pres ident of the court-martial , to request Gen eral noget to repeat the explanations which ho had given before the court nt cassation In regard to the part played In the affair by Major Du I'aty do Clam , whereupon the witnessed traversed the old ground In re gard to Paly do Clam'a steps to warn Ester- hazy of the campaign said to be organizing against htm. The general said ho believed the forged "Speranza" letters were either written by Paty do Clam or Instigated by htm. Witness aald he had not acted against Paty do Clam because ho saw nothing culpa ble In what ho had done to save Esterhazy. to Save With reference to the "Document Llbera- tour , " a document forged In order to secure the release of Estcrhazy when ho was court-martialed , General Iloget said he only knew how It reached the ministry of "war , adding that Its disappearance from that ministry was a mystery. But ho said doubt less Paty do Clam could explain the matter. Counsel for the defense hero wanted to know how , under such circumstances , Paty do Clam's Intervention In behalf ot Ester- hazy could bo explained. But the witness could only attribute It to Paty do Clam's "moral conviction of Esterhazy's Inno cence. " "In any case , " said the general , "tho general - oral staft must bo entirely disassociated with the part played by Du Paty do Clam In this matter. " "Certainly , " replied M. Dcmange. "I attach great Importance to this point , " was the general's next remark. M. Demango assented to this , but added : "What I would llko to know Is how an Innocent man like Esterhazy was thought to need this kind of help. " ( Laughter ) . "It la certain I should not have done It , " answered the witness , which caused renewed laughter. General He-get then added that although ho would not have Intervened himself to save Esterhazy , he did not consider the course followed as being reprehensible. M. Dcmanco then questioned the witness as to what ho thought of Esterhazy's at tempt to obtain from an agent a declaration that he had nothing to do with the affair , to which the general replied that ho knew nothing of such an attempt. But when M. Demange read General Renouard's report on the subject Roget admitted that Esterhazy's attempt was "certainly a curious proceed ing" tor an Innocent man to undertake. Erniares In Document * . Counsel thereupon Invited the special at tention of the court-martial to the witness and be took the general to'taik' foi < playing yesterday the part of general accuser , par ticularly toward Colonel PIcquart. During the course of his remarks M. Demango re ferred to the document known as the "petit bleu" and the erasures In it. The general admitted the erasures might have been made with the view of giving the document a suspicious appearance. But he claimed Pic- quart made the erasures and Inserted the name of Esterbazy after taking the photo graph exhibited before the court of cassa tion. Counsel Insisted the falsification oc curred after the "petit > bleu" left Plcquart's hands and demanded further explanations trom the witness. The general , however , said be was unable to testify as to who falsified the document or why It was done , but ho did not think It was done with the vlow of compromising PIcquart. At this Juncture there was a little sparring between M. Domange and Major Carrlere , the representative of the government In the case. The former desired Information In re gard to the espionage meeting at Basle , Switzerland , and the recall on account of peculation of on agent named Lajoul , who waa corresponding with a certain foreign agent. Major Carrlore objected to the dis cussion of the subject at this stage , for ho said it would be contrary to the spirit ot discipline for the general to discuss these details. The president of the court upheld the protest of the government representa tive and M. Demange continued his exam ination of General Roget. "How was It you know , " counsel asked the witness , "that 000,000 francs were offered Esterbazy If ho would confess to being the author of the bordereau ? " "I heard It , " the witness replied , "from the court of Inquiry which tried Esterhazy and from Esterhazy himself. " "Ah ! " exclaimed counsel , "It was Ester- hazy who said It. Just so. " ( Laughter ) . I ? < crliii7.y Ilnil Document * . "Why was his residence searched ? " M. Demange then aeked , and the general an swered : "Esterhazy at one time had the document containing the words 'Cctto Canaille da D - ' and might therefore have had others , " "You admit , then , " asked M. Demange , "that he might have bad Interesting docu ments ? " "When one is conducting an Inquiry , " said the witness' , "be must expect anything and search accordingly. " "Admitting , " counsel then said , "that Esterhazywas the agent of the Dreyfun family and that he had agreed to assume , as suggested , the prisoner's guilt , how do you explain the fact that Esterhazy upon snveral occasions wrote statements cal culated to compromise the ca j of Dreyfus ? " "With Esterhazy , " replied General Roget , "one can never be sure of anything. ( Laughter ) . He Is such an extraordinary fellow , I do not know what he may bo doing today , nor what ho will do tomorrow. " Three statements of the general con vulsed the court with laughter , wlilch seemed to Irritate the witness , who was growing nervous under the searching ex amination of counsel , Turning to Dreyfus , General Roget cried In a loud voice : "I know very well that If I was accused of an act of treason which I had not committed I should nnd arguments with which to defend myself , " Tha ! assertion evoked murmurs , but the general shouted : "Why does he deny ovcu the most obvious things ? " M. Demange shrugged his shoulders and ejaculated ; "Ah. " The prisoner , however , rose and em phatically denied polntblank some of the general's evidence. He said he never traced on a map any plan of concentration cr mobilization , nor ever bad any knowledge of the details of those movements , nor of the plan for the distribution of the varlouu units throughout the departments. "Let ua , " added Dreyfua , "understand one another In regard to what la meant. I as sert that I did not know In its details of the plan of concentration.

" The audience hero gave vent to expres sions ot assent and dissent. llrrtiiltiN TnXcn the Slnnil , iM. Bertulu ? , the examining magistrate , was the next witness. There had been lively anticipations of nn Interesting con frontation. The maelstrato Inquired Into the charges made against Esterhazy by his cousin , Christian , and It was expected M. Bortulus would bo confronted with General Iloget , who BO tartly criticised the magis trate yesterday. But the president of the court Invited M. Berlulus to proceed with his deposition. The witness spoke In a low , husky voice , \vhlch was almost unintelligible to the court nnd counsel. Ho was Ineffectually urged to raise his voice. M. Bcrtulus described how Major Ravary aeked tils assistance In examining the secret dossier at the Chercho Midi prison and how , after ho had learned the contents of the documents , ho declared to Major Ravary that there was a flaw In the dossier which would occasion the collapse of the whole case. The witness explained that ho meant the "petit bleu. " It must bo proved , ho told the major , that the "petit bleu" was a forgery and the work of Colonel PIcquart and that as long OB that was not proved the case could not hold. Continuing , M. Bcrtulus recapitulated the evidence ho had given before the court of cassation , tola Investigation into Paty do Clam'a connection wfth the "Speranza" and "Blanche" telegrams nnd the favorable Im pression ho had acquired of Colonel Plo- quart's honesty during the course of the In quiry. Witness repeated the story of Colonel Pic- quart's dismissal from the army and Pic- quart's denunciation of Esterhazy and Paty do Clam and dwelt exhaustively on his laborious inquiry Into the charges against Esterhazy , describing the papers found at the residence of Mllo. Pays , where Ester- hazy sought refuge. M. Bertulus then related the notable In terview between himself and Lieutenant Colonel Henry , July 18 , 1898 , shortly before Henry committed suicide. This naturally was n painful recital for Mme. Henry , the widow , who was much distressed and wept silently as the dramatic scene when M. Bertulus and Henry proceeded td seal up the seized papers was depicted. The magis trate repeated the whole story with emphasis and it had a great effect on the audience. Bclioven Drcyfnii Innocent. After recapitulating his other evidence be fore the court of cassation M. Bertulus en ergetically affirmed his bellet In the Innocence - cenco of Dreyfus. He declared the bordereau waa in throe ploceu and not In Ilttlo bits. Ho also said It did not reach the war office by the ordinary channels. M. Bertulus said his ihellof in the In nocence of Dreyfus was also based ion docu ments In the secret dossier , which ho had seen. But what , above all , confirmed the witness in his belief was the entire absence of a motive which could have tempted Drey fus to commit such a crime. "Without motive , " emphatically declared the experienced magistrate , "thero was no crime. " The earnestness with which M. Bcrtulus Insisted upon the Innocence of the accused created a profound impression upon his bearers. "You have been told , " he said , "that Drey fus Is guilty. For myself , I believe , and bellevo profoundly , In his Innocence. "If I come here to tell you so you will understand that it Is because my conscience tells mo that in so doing I am performing a duty , an absolute duty. "Tho court ot cassation has declared the bordereau to bo the work of Esterhazy. Now , the court ot cassation Is the supreme authority In all matters of Justice In France. " ( Sensation. ) At this Juncture there was a brief sus pension of the session. When it was re sumed Bertulus was recalled , but ho had little to add of an interesting character. When the prisoner was asked If ho desired to put any questions to the witness ho an swered In the negative. SI me. Henry CoiitrncllctM Ilcrtnlim. Mmo. Henry then ascended the platform , and , standing beside M. Bcrtulus , she said : "On July 18 , the day my husband called on M. Bcrtulus , the colonel , In the course of a conversation that evening , told mo he had a friendly and charming reception. Hn described how the magistrate advanced to meet him and held out his arms. " 1 said to my husband : 'Aro you euro of this man ? Arc you sure he Is sincere ? I am very much afraid that his kiss was the kiss oC a Judas. ' " There was a great sensation In court at this statement , of Mme. Henry. "I was not wrong , " she continued , amid the breathless Interest of the court. "This man Is Indeed the Judas I mentioned. " Referring to the papers which arrived nt the same time as the bordereau Mme. Henry said : "These papers were not all torn In a thousand , pieces. I was able to note that personally. Letters often came entire. M. Bortulus has maintained that everything arrived In pieces. That Is false , " The court here resounded with exclama tions of surprise and Mme. Henry con cluded : "I have nothing more to say , " M. Bertulus said be did not desire to re ply to Mme. Henry , adding ; "She Is only a woman. " "I am not a woman , " exclaimed Mme , Henry , furiously ; "I speak In the name of my husband , " The Incident caused great excitement In court. "Now shall I reply to madame ? " asked M. Bertulus , "She Is defending the name of a dead man 1 nnd that of her child. " ( Renewed sensa tion ) . After gazing steadfastly at M. Ilertulus , who was greatly moved , Mme. Henry diacended from the platform and took a seat beside General Zurllndcn. M. Bortulus forthwith left the court. Colonel I'ldiimrt IM Cnllfil. Colonel 1'lcquart was then called to the wluiess stand. He protected most firmly against all suspicion of having caused the disappearance of any document relating to , Dreyfus. Documents had disappeared , but be was not connected with their disappear ance. He also repelled with scorn the as sertion that ho had endeavored to put an other officer in the place of the real author of the bordereau. "H Is true , " the witness continued , "that the name of Captain Dorval was mentioned to me as a dangerous man , I had him watched , and do you know , gentlemen , by whom Dorval was denounced ? By his own couuln , Major du Paty de Clam. " ( Sensa tion. ) PIcquart next proceeded to reply to the various attacks made upon him. "These Uctlci , " he said , "are evidently pursued with the object of lessening th value of my testimony. " The colonel next outlined his connection with Dreyfus at the military college And after\\imls nt the ministry of war , whore , owing to the nntl-semlto prejudices ot the general start , ho first appointed Dreyfus to n dopartmcnt where probationers had no direct cognizance ot the secret documents. Ho then described the consternation In the war oflleo when the treason was discovered and the relief experienced when It was thought the guilty person had been dis covered , It was then the wttnctu discovered the similarity between the handwriting ot Dreyfus and that of the bordereau nnd ho had recourse to Du Paty de Clam , who was supposed to have graphologtcal knowcldge. ( Laughter. ) IrroKtilnr Stopn TnUen. Then the witness described what ho characterized as "tho Irregular steps" taken by General Merclor to accomplish the arrest of Dreyfus. Referring to the dictation test , the witness earnestly and emphatically affirmed that ho saw no signs of perturbation in the hand writing of Dreyfus on that occasion , and , moreover , shortly afterwards Paty de Clam admitted ho had not found a fresh charge against Dreyfus. "Beyond the bordereau , " added the wit ness , "there was nothing against Dreyfus absolutely nothing. " His Impression during the investigation , continued Colonel PIcquart , "was that the acquittal ot the accused was probable , as the evidence was insufficient. AVltnoss believed ho had oven told the minister of war that the condemnation of the accused could not bo secured unless the court-martial had boon shown the secret document which It had been agreed to submit to the court. " The colonel next declared that In 1894 he did not know the contents of the cocret r dossier , but ho believed , llko all other of ficers , that it contained frightful proofs against the prisoner. When ho became ac quainted with Its contents , however , ho found that his "earlier Impressions were en tirely wrong. " ( Prolonged sensation. ) PIcquart then recalled the vehement pro tests of innocence which the prisoner had not ceased to make during all phases of the degradation. The witness declared ho was quite Ignorant of the confessions Dreyfus Is alleged to have rnado to Captain Lebrun- Rcnault. Convinced Dreyfua In Innocent. Continuing , Colonel PIcquart defended himself against the charge that he had al ways directed his efforts toward the re habilitation of Dreyfus. He said that he bad only directed tbo investigations made to that end when he became aware that writings of Esterhazy and the bordereau were identical and that consequently the charges against Dreyfus no longer existed. In the , course of his testimony Colonel PIcquart askedto " , bo.confronted TylthJIaJor Du Paty do" Clam and , to bo permitted , " ( o , deal with some of his peculiarities when ! Paty do Clam Is in the witness box. " Next the colonel examined the bordereau and declared Dreyfus could not have com posed part of It. Regarding the Madagascar note the wit ness disputed its value and eald ho did not bellevo It was a confidential note. He added that if Dreyfus In his capacity of a probationer had asked the witness for the note he would have bonded It to him Imme diately. Therefore he , PIcquart , was unable to understand the sentence in the bordereau reading : "This document was very difficult to obtain. " Colonel Picquart then declared he had never seen Dreyfus copy the smallest docu ment in the war office. In the opinion ot the witness the department where the bor dereau was discovered ought to have been , searched when the discovery was made. This , be explained , was the department ( n which Paty do Clam worked , and that was the department which was working on the plan of the concentration of the troops and the Madagascar expedition , lla added ; "It was la Major Paty do Clam's depart ment that the search should have been , made , or rather In his private room , wbero ho worked qulto alpne. " ( Sensation. ) Paty da Clam , continued the witness , had. been guilty of grave Imprudence In having , contrary to regulations , bad confidential documents copied by single secretaries , non commissioned officers and oven private , sol diers , whereas the custom was that ouch work was done solely by officers. Later on the witness said bo wondered If itas ( not to avoid the risk of punishment that Paty do Clam advanced the date of the reception of the bordereau at the Intelli gence department so as to make It prlop to the date of his ( Paty de Clam's ) arrival lu the Third department.
