SIDNEY , Neb. , Aug. 19. ( Special Tele-
egram. ) .What came near being a dire ca.
lomlty to this city occurred at 1:40 : thli
morning by one of the most serious con
flagrations that has visited here since De
cember , 1877 , at which tlmo an entire Wocl
of business houses was totally destroyed bj
an Incendiary fire. Today the town was
crowded with people when the shrill firs
alarm of the Union Pacific railroad was
sounded and the fire was soon located al
the corner of Front and Chestnut streets
The flre started In the old frame Chowln'i
building , occupied by O.D. . Esslg as a car
riage repository. Then It spread to Charlej
Moore's barn and the house standing In fronl
of It , formerly occupied as a printing office
These two wcro soon licked up by the flames
At this tlmo the heat became almost un
bearable. Suddenly , as If by magic , the bis
BorgquUt block , three stories high , knowr
as the White House hall and built of groul
in 1876 , took flro nnd soon fell a victim
to the mercy of the flames. Then the flre
spread east and totally destroyed three resl.
dences and barns situated on the south side
of the buildings. At this time the wind be
came furious and threatened the handsome
residences In the vicinity. Many families
had already removed their household effects ,
The flre department labored hard and the
water supply was excellent , so that by 2
o'clock the flre was under control. In all
there were six buildings and three barns de
stroyed and the IMS will run up Intc
the thousands with no Insurance.

Sum of Money.
Ofllclaln of the Union Pacific nnd Burling
ton railroads believe that pome of the state
ments made by Governor Poyntcr In his
open letter to the people of Nebraska , pub
lished yesterday , nro liable to serious mis
interpretation. The general attorneys of
both roads , to whom the proposition of Gov
ernor 1'oynter regarding the furnishing of
transportation for the returning soldiers
with the promise of future legislative re
muneration was referred In order to estab
lish Its * legal status , are as thoroughly cog
nizant of the cntlro history of Governor
t'oynter's plan as any other officials , and
their statements will add considerable light
upon the subject.
"Personally , the officials of the Union Pa
cific , from the president down to the hum
blest subordinate , are as greatly Interested
and have as , much admiration for the boys
of the gallant First Nebraska regiment as
any other class of citizens In the state , "
said John N. Baldwin , general attorney of
the Union Pacific for Nebraska and Iowa.
"Individually , wo are willing to do anything
that wo possibly can to welcome them back
to the state In a manner befitting the recep
tion of returning heroes , but because the
officials have not seen their way clear to
provide for the transportation of the boys
from San Francisco to Nebraska , assuming
an enormous liability and establishing n
precedent which would certainly be abused ,
their attitude has been severely criticised
by the chief executive of Nebraska , j
"The proposition submitted by Governor i
Poynter was , that the Union Pacific company -
pany should transport this regiment from
San Francisco to Omaha and rely upon fu
ture legislative action for payment for this
service. In addition to the outlay which
the Union Pacific would Incur for transpor- !
tatlon of the regiment over Its own line , It
would be compelled to advance a largo
amount to the Southern Pacific company , I
and to the Pullman company for sleeping' '
car service. The Union Pacific has no control - |
trol over these companies , and they would i
demand their share of the amount to bo j
paid In advance. Assuming that 1,000 men
and officers would bo carried , the coet would
be as follows : 1,000 second class tickets
at $37.50 , $37,500 ; 333 sections In tourist ,
sleepers , $3,333 , a total of $40,833. I
"The Union Pacific's proportion at this
rate Is $20.23 and the Southern Pacific's Is
$17.23. Deducting the amount of the Union
Pacific's proportion , $20,250 , would leave
$20,583 which the Union Pacific would have
to advance to the Southern Pacific and the
Pullman company , In addition to the actual
cost of the service upon Its own line.
"As the payment of this claim could not
be legally enforced , the Union Pacific com
pany declined to advance such a large
amount of money and depend entirely on
legislative action for reimbursement. An
other serious objection to entering Into such
an arrangement Is that It would be recorded
as a precedent for other states. The Union
Pacific company .has been Informed that
other states would apply for" similar ar
rangements. Iowa , Wyoming and Kansas
would Insist upon the same agreement foe
their regiments. The Nebraska arrangement
could .be . used with unanswerable logic by
other states pleading for similar favors. In
the end there would be fixed upon the Union
Pacific a responsibility and liaDimy which
Its representatives cannot aseno or Incur , "
I'oitltloii of the Ilnrlinirtoii.
OMAHA. Neb. , 'Aue. ' 19. To the Editor
of The Bee : 1 have read with much In
terest and rccrot the letter addressed to
the people of Nebraska by Hon. W. A. Poyn
ter. governor of the state.
The statement of a half truth is frequently
more Injurious than giving forth an entire
falsehood.
So far as the Burlington company Is con
cerned It. as a corporation , and its officers
and employes as individuals have evinced
in every way a desire to recognize the gal
lant service of the Nebraska troops in the
field and feel particularly a strong Incli
nation to do everything In their power to
bring the gallant men of the First Ne
braska to their homes without cost.
The rate fixed by .the roada connecting
with the Burlington , over whoso arrange
ments it has no control , is $37.50 railroad
faro from San Francisco to Omaha and
$3.33 cost of sleeping car per man. Of this
rate , amounting to $40.83 for each passen
ger , the Burlington road would get but $8.90 ,
being the pay over Us road from Denver to
Omaha , Thus , it will bo seen that on iho
basis of the movement of 1.000 men the
Burlington company , if it did what has
been requested , would not only have to
wait the plelasuro of the next legislature
for $8,1)00. ) but It would have to advance to
the Denver & Jlio Grande , the Rio Grande
western and Southern Pacific railroads in
cash $31,900 , for none of these roads will
move the train until that money Is paid in
San Franclsqo. If the road were to accede
to this demand the precedent would plead
for the movement of troops to the states of
Kansas , ttowa and Illinois , and we would
have to pay out an enormous sum of money
and look to legislative consideration In the
future to bo reimbursed. A moment's con
sideration on the part of any fair man will
satisfy him that it Is out of the question.
I'rupoBvil Loan illleenl.
Wo regret that the efforts of Governor
Poynter to obtain the $20,000 from the
banks has failed , but an examination of the
national bank act would show that It would
bo a violation of the law for them os na
tional banivj to make a loan on such indefi
nite security. I would bo extremely glad to
see a large sum of money paid not only to
the mon of the First Nebraska , but also to
these of the Second and Third Nebraska ,
who. although not BO distinguished , would
have been eaually so had the opportunity
been afforded them.
The proposition made by the newspapers
has been to raise enough money by vol
untary subscription to bring the First Ne
braska from San Francisco to their home
state. J. understand that $15,000 has been
guaranteed , or is in sight. My desire to
recognize the services of these fighters In
the Philippines I make manifest by this
proposition , which is open for ten days : 1
will bo one. of twenty men to advance or
guarantee $1,000 to Governor Poyntcr. to bo
reimbursed by an appropriation by the leg
islature , if it can bo Induced at its next ses-
slon to pass the bill. If within ten daya
the $20,000 additional cannot thus be raised ,
then the only other counae open for us Is
to permit each man of the First Nebraska
to pay the $40 that will bring him to bis
home. Belns mustered out in San Francisco ,
each private soldier will receive $09.30 as
travel pay from San Francisco to Lincoln.
Out of this ho can pay his car and sleeper
fare , and Governor Poyntor , the executive
officer of the slate , and all other patriotic
citizens , without distinction of politics , can
urge upon the next legislature that this
eum be renald to the troops.
I leave the state on Tuesday next for an
absence of several weeks , but my check
will bo left In 1ho hands of Mr. Joseph II.
Mlllard , president of the Omaha National
bank , to be turned in whenever nineteen
other men have expressed their willingness
to do likewise. Truly yours ,
CHARLES F. MANDERBON.

( Continued from First Page. )
sake 1 must fed ns they do about Dreyfus.
I hope his judges will have the courage to
eontence him again. "
.Indue * OIIPII Thrlr llyen.
Here Is a verdict of Octave Mlrbcau , the
distinguished joutnallat : "Until Dcrtulus ,
the examining magistrate In the Esterhazy
case , took the stand , we heard but ono side
of the question. Before Bcrtulus the wlt-
ncM3 were the generals , who naturally ac
cepted a long string of lies ns the gospel
truth. But when Bertulus revealed the
shady records of Ksterhazy , Henry and Du
Pnty de Clam , I could sec their eyes open.
Then came Plcquart , whom they hated to
hear , but heard. The judges now know that
It Is the generals who arc the criminals.
I have acquired such an Idea of military
people that I don't doubt the Judges would
still condemn Dreyfus If they could. But
they don't dare. As Mme Dreyfus said , 'tho
whole world Is now the Judge. ' In any result
I fear n revolution Is Inevitable. Let us
hope that It will bo a peaceful one. "
Another woman graces the Jury , Mme
Durrand , the 'beautiful , highly gifted editor
whcea paper , La Fronde , conducted such a
pugnacious , effective campaign for revision ,
Mme Durrand made this statement :
"Tho judges will have to acquit. They
will halo to do It. but they will be com
pelled to. The trial will last three weeks
longer , and during that time many unex
pected things will be brought to light. It
Dreyfus IB acquitted the change In the
political regime that Is bound to take place
will probably bo affected quietly , because the
government , and therefore all the force of
the police , will bo with us , and the antl-
Dreyfusards will be cowed. But if the
ntrocloiis crime of condemnation be com
mitted there is no telling what will happen. "
"Tho guilt of Dreyfus has been repeatedly ,
thoroughly and luminously demonstrated. "
Thus spoke Arthur Meyer , editor of the Gau-
lols. Ho went on : "After hearing Mcr-
e'er , Roget and Cavatgnac I can't understand
how the question can bo asked , 'What will
the verdict be ? ' I hope Dreyfus will bo
sentenced to bo shot. That should have been
done when he was first found guilty. That
man has done more harm to France than
would five years of famine. His acquittal
would mean the ruin of the French army and
would consequently end France's political
power in Europe. The Judges realize this
at least patriots do , and they will never
accept a vindication of a traitor and de
faulter of our generals. "
The great socialist leader , Jean Jaures , Is
certain of ncculttal. He made this state
ment : "The generals of the high staff who
have persisted In savagely attacking Drey
fus have brought forward not proofs , but
specious arguments. Plcquart has shown
what is behind these fine uniforms. The
generals arc desperately fightine to escape
being transformed from strutting officers
to branded criminals. But there's no escape
for them now. Yea , some solltlcal disturb
ance may follow the shock of the strong
remedies we propose to apply to rid the
country of all this corruption clogging its
arteries. But France will rlso vlgoruos and
healthy from the terrible ordeal. "
Bertulus , the examining magistrate in the
Estcrhazy case , naturally carefully studied
the evidence In the Dreyfus case. He was
the witness whom Mme. Henry so dramati
cally confronted before the court-martial
the other day. Said ho :
"When I Addressed the Judges I felt they
were anxious to know the whole truth. We
will show the whole truth to theni. We will
prove to them that Dreyfus Is an Innocent
man and they will acquit him. "
"We await the result with confidence , "
said M. Demange of counsel for Dreyfus. "It
will bo a stubborn fight , but Laborl will
bo with us again In a few days and then the
defense will 'be organized. "
CUIGNET DELIVERS HEROICS

Si L-clUe < l.
RENNES , Aug. 19. No special incident
occurred this mcrnlng , when the second trial
by court-marilnl of Captain Alfred Dreyfus
of the Fourteenth artillery , charged with
treason , was resumed at the Lycec.
The first witness called today was Major
Culgnet , formerly attached to the ministry of
war. The witness , who declared ho was con
vinced of the prisoner's guilt , was cross-
examined by M. Demango , counsel for the
defense , who succeeded in pointing out that
several of his statements contradicted his
previous depositions.
The president of the court , Colonel
Jouaust , asked Dreyfus If ho had anything
to eay , whereupon the prisoner rose and
again vehemently protested against the
denunciations leveled against him , an in
nocent man.
General de Bolsdeffre was the next wit
ness calrcd.
Following Is the evidence In detail :
Major Culgnet , the first witness called , was
not in uniform , as bo is not at present at
tached to any corps. "Before beginning an
account of the special Investigations into
the case which I woe ordered to niako by
ministers of war , from M. Cavagnac to M.
de Freyclnet , " said the witness , "I wish
to mention a personal fact , which In con
junction with the evidene already beard
will constitute fresh proof of the prisoner's
Indiscreet behavior when omployc'd on the
headquarters staff. I was on the staff when
Dreyfus was a probationer , during the latter
half of 1S93 , Among other duties I was
connected with the railroad service and the
mining of railroads with the view of in
terrupting traffic in caeo of need. It la
hardly necessary to point out the secret
character of euch matters. Dreyfus was a
probationer on the eastern railroads and had
been ordered to specially study the mining
on them , and possessed information rotating
solely to them. One day Dreyfui asked mete
to give him the general ecbcma of mining
which I poEoeEsed , giving aa a reason for
his request that ho was anxious to Increase
his knowledge and that It was necessary for
him < to know the general siheine In order to
properly carry out the work entrusted to
him. I replied that I did not see the neces
sity of giving him the scheme and that In

began giving him explanation * . Dreyfus dis
played the kcentvst interest and took copious
notes. When later his house was searched
thepo notes were not discoverable. I do not

In procuring it. "
Conv'liicrd nf Drpj-tnn * ( iiilH.
After launching the above declaration ,
which ho apparently considered to be weighty
evidence of the treachery of Dreyfus. M.ijor
Culgnct proceeded to recount In detail the
task which General Gonse assigned to him
In May , ISflS , of classifying the documents
In the Dreyfus , Kstorhnzy nnd Plcquart
cascn. "The flret question I will nsk here
Is , " said the witness , "la Dreyfus guilty ?
My conviction of his guilt Is bnsod on three
grounds :
First. His confessions to Captain Lcbrun-
Renault.
Second. The technical nature of the con
tents of the bordereau.
Third. The results of the nxamlnatlon of
the secret dossier.
" 1 will add to these three points the evi
dence of the expert Bertlllon ( lailRlitcr ) ns
Indirect proof of the means employed by
the Dreyfus family to'secure the prisoner's
rehabilitation.
" 1 protest that a campaign has been under
taken against justice , truth and our country. "
The major's outburst of heroics evoked
cynical smiles and Indications of dlnscnt ,
coupled with marks of ntecnt from the as
sembled generate.
The witness next spoke of the secret dos
sier of the war ministry , containing Informi-
llon iclatlng to the Interview between M.
Trarleux , former minister of justice , and
Count Ternlclll , the Italian nmbasflador ,
"which country , " said Culgnet , "benefited by
the treachery. "

Regarding the confessions said to have
been made to Captain Lobrun-Renault. wit-
ncfia said ho still believed they wore au-
ihontlc , and added : "If pcoplo do not believe
the confessions to Captain Lobrun-Renault
they will believe no human testimony. "
Continuing , the witness reasserted that
the bordereau waa written by Dreyfus nt the
end o ! August , and incidentally the major
[ irotested against Colonel Plcquart's Insinua
tions against Pnty de Clnm. Ho then re
turned to the secret dossier of the War
Dfilce , from which he declared the court was
sure to draw Important deductions.
"The first portion of the dossier , " ho said ,
"shows that In 1893 there was n constant
leakage lu the Ministry of War. Wo have had
[ iroofs of the plans of fortifications reaching
the hands of a foreign power. It Is known
to a certainty from the letter of an agent of
the foreign power that the stolen plans
amanated from the Ministry of War. A
Hist network of espionage had therefore
3cen organized agalpst us , headed by agents
belonging to the same power os 'A' ( Colonel
Schwartzkoppen , the German military at
tache ) , the agents of other powers also
collaborating. "
Witness then invited the court's special
attention to this dossier , in which ho said
would be found ample proof of the pris
oner's guilt.
At this stage of the proceedings Dreyfus
rose and interrupted the witness , shouting :
"That is a manifest lie. "
StnnilN b > - the Ilorderenn.
Another document of the dossier , accordIng -
Ing to Major Culgnet , showed beyond dis
pute that the bordereau actually passed
through the hands of Colonel Schwartzkop-
pen. fThU , to the witness , established the
authenticity of the bordereau , an examina
tion of which , ho pointed out , proved
Schwartzkoppcn and Panlzzardl had the
closest relations In all matters of espionage.
Referring next to the dispatch of Colonel
Schneider , former Austrian military at
tache at Paris , denouncing- a forgery a
letter purporting to have been written by
the attache In which he was represented as
referring to efforts being made by Bchwartz-
koppen and Panlzzardl to conceal their rela
tions with Dreyfus , witness maintained that
General Mcrcier's statements on the sub
ject were correct and that the authenticity
of the letter had been proved. The Intelli
gence department , he added , had other docu
ments from the same attache in its posses
sion. Major Culgnet pointed out that the
Schneider document was included in the
dossier and that M. Chamoln , who bad the
secret documents in his charge , had shown
it to the court in behalf of the Ministry of
War. Therefore , witness claimed , Colonel
Schneider's contradiction was really ad
dressed to the French government. ( Sensa
tion ) .
"Besides , " added Cuignet , "I wish to point
out that the attache issuing the denial 13
a person of somewhat Ifss consequence than
hU allies. It Is therefore possible that this
denial was Imposed upon him. " ( Renewed
sensation ) .
Dlxnvowiil from Government.
Major Carrlere , the government's com
missary , at this juncture calJ he thought
it desirable to remark , as the representative
of the government , that he must not bo
understood to endorse all Major Culgnet had
said with "reference 4o a foreign military
officer who at the present moment had a
diplomatic appointment in France. ( Sensa
tion. ;
At the request of M. Demange the major's
deposition before the court of cassation , re
lating to Henry's motives and Paty do Clam's
share in the preparation of the forgery , was
read. It showed that Culgnet emphatically
declared before the court of cassation that
he was convinced an Investigation would
easily show that Paty de Cfam was the
principal author of the Henry forgery.
Witness claimed he thought he was doing
bis duty "In eaylng all that Is In ray mind. "
"Do you adhere. " asked counsel , "to oil
you said before the full court of cassation ? "
Thl question greatly confused the wit
ness , who attempted < to explain by saying he
waa "only arguing at that time , " and that
It was not for him to judge Paty de Clam ,
M. Demango pointed out that in spite of the
many arguments Major Culgnct Isad ad
vanced against Paty de Clam , the military
Judge , Tavernlcr , threw out the case.
"Now , " added Demange , "Major Culgnot
has advanced as much against Dreyfus , The
court will be able to appreciate the value of
his arguments. "
Counsel then asked why Culgnet had em
ployed the expreeslon "report" to describe
the Schneider letter and the witness replied
he was justified in doing so , owing to the
similarity of the expressions in It with the
terms usually employed in reports.
M. Demange pointed out that the docu
ment included in the doeeler contained the
word "report. " "Does the original , " he
asked , "contain this word ? "
"No , " replied the witness.
Replying further Culgnet said the docu
ment also referred to the campaign In favor
of Dreyfus and to orders sent to Brussels , the
headquarters of the espionage Byetem.
M. Demange The paper handed In by
General Mercler In therefore onfy an extract.
The witness next gave his Idea aa to how
Dreyfus might have secured plans of the
fortresses , but counsel pointed \o Paty do
Clam's report at the time of the arrest of
Dreyfus , In which he declared that no docu
ment had disappeared or could nave dis
appeared from the ministry of war.
When Dreyfuswas asked if be wished to
reply to this witness , he declared be bad
never asked Major Culgnet for document *
except by tbo desire of bis chief. Major
Berlin.
"All the details which Major Culgnet has
given on this subject , " said the prisoner ,
"sprang out of bin own Imagination and ard
due to the same state of mind which prompts
unreasoning bitterness , even against an In
nocent man , "
Amid a but ? of excitement the name of
Major Du Pnty dc Clnm was called out ,
whereupon Major Cnrrlfro * ald Paty de Clnn'
had been officially Informed thnt hlc presence
was necessary to the court-martial nnd II
w s hoped ho would be able to come an * eon
as potMbfe. but the government commlssarj
had hoard nothing from him since Hit !
notification was sent.
At the request of M. Demancp It was de
cided to notify Pnly de Cl m that the court-
martial was ready to hoar his depMltlon.
There wns o further thrill of eurloMtj
when General do Boladfffre. formpr chief1ol
the general staff of the French army , ad
vanced to the witness box Mid took the CUB-
ternary oath to tell the truth. The gener.il
remarked that In view of th cxhauetlvo
evidence already plvcn he would try to be
brief. He hurriedly reviewed the leakage
In the ministry of war , the discovery ol
the bordereau , the arrest and trial of Drey-
fun and the latter's alleged confessions , before -
fore the ceremony of degradation , to Cap
tain Lebrun-Rcnault. Witness said he b -
llevcd the confessions were genuine. Ho
next referred to Colonel Plrquurt'p appearance -
anco In the Intelligence department , al
though the witness had hesitated to appoint
him because he thought Plcquart too self-
confident and not sufficiently deferential
toward his chiefs.
"H has been said , " continued General do
Bolsdeffre , "that a secret package of papers
was shown the judges of the court-martlul
of IS9 ( . I positively assert thnt , so far as
I am concerned , I never ordered Colonul
Plequart to convey any envelope to Colonel
Maurcl. I may add that Colonel Plcquart
never doubted the guilt of Dreyfus , nnd
never even expressed doubts of his guilt
when he took over the duties of chief of the
Intelligence department. The first Instruc-
tlonn I pnve him were to follow tip the
Dreyfus affair , and It Is well known what
were the results of these Instructions. "
DlHOrrdllN 1 * I i-i | ii n ft.
The general next described the Interview
between himself and Colonel Plcquart , when
the latter first mentioned Ksterhazy , with
out , however , connecting him with the Drey-
fus affair. Witness discredited Colonel
Plcquart's statement that he asked him
( witness ) not to mention the Investigation
to General Gonse.
"General Gotiso , " said Bol9.cffrc. | "is a
friend of thirty years' standing. I have
always had the greatest confidence In him
nnd should certainly not have entertained
ix request to leave him In ignorance of what
was occurring. "
General de Boisdcffre , whoso evidence
was attentively followed , especially by the
members of the court-martial , then related
the Incidents of his Interviews with Plc-
tiuart , how lie sent Plcquart to see General
jonso and General Gonse's subsequent let
ter to the witness , advising a continuance
at the Investigations regarding Ksterhazy ,
but adding that the affair must not be ralxpJ
ivlth the Dreyfus affair. As Colonel PIc-
juart persisted In trying to hurry matters
ind was neglecting his other duties an.l . the
witness proposed to the minister of war to
scud him. not in disgrace , on n mission to
Tonklng , but the minister of war , the gen
eral asserted , found another mission for
him.
Everything , the cencral added , went
guletly for a year , until M. Scheurer-Kest-
ner Intervened. This WJB followed bv the
denunciation of Esterliazy by MAtuleu Jiey-
Fus and the Inquiry Into Esterhazy's pro-
: eedlngs.
"At "that time , " the witness said , "I was
convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus and this
: onvlction Is as strong today as ever. " ( Scn-
satlon. )
"I rceard it as an abominable crime , "
continued the general , "to have endeavored
to substitute for him a man of straw , how
ever disreputable he may have been nnd
whatever his offenses , which In any case
would not lessen the guilt of Dreyfus. My
: onvlctlon is the same as at the commence
ment of the affair. Esterhazy , it Is true , at
i certain psychological and singularly well
: hosen moment , confessed to having written
the bordereau , but ho has made many other
statements. He Is always telling lies. What
Is certain Is that he could never have de
livered the documents enumerated In the
bordereau. "
Then the witness briefly referred to the
Lrlal and acquittal of Esterhazy and the
latter's threats to proclaim himself a tool
> f the general staff , after which the general
Uluded to ( he Henry 'orcf.rv and M. Cav-
ilgnac's Interrogations of Henry.
"You know the result , " said he , ap
parently much moved. "I will not tell you
A-hat I suffered at that moment. As soon
is everything was ended I tendered my
resignation , but was asked to withdraw It.
[ was told every ono could make a mistake ,
jut I replied that while every ono was lia
ble to err , every coo had not the misfor
tune , as I had , to assart to a jury that a
document was genuine when In reality it
tvns forged ; that every one ought to stand
by one's word , and that when a man hap
pened to experience such n misfortune there
ivas nothing left for him but to go away
and from that moment I have held aloof. "
( Sensation ) .
After a brief suspension of the sitting of
the court. General Gonse , who was undT
chief of the general staff , was called to the
witness stand. Ho explained the motives
which influenced his actions during the past
few years and said ho believed ho was "ani
mated by the loftiest alms , namely , the
protection of the army against the criminal
attacks made on It from all sides. "
the 1'rUoner Prying.
General Gonso denied that Estcrhazy had
received money from the Intelligence de
partment , and , describing the "strange be-
liavtor" of Dreyfus and his "frequent acts
of indiscretion , " the witness begged the
court to summon the secretary of tbo min
istry of war , who surprised the prisoner pry
ing In the offices at n time when tlicro was
no business going on there ,
Tbo general defended Gucnce and referred
to another spy as an "honorable man , "
whoso name ho could not give , as having
furnished military headquarters with valua
ble Information.
Colonel Jouaust asked : "Is he In receipt
of regular monthly pay ? "
General Gonse Ho was paid when he
brought Information.
Major Carrlcro Wo have here two differ
ent versions ,
General Gonse I mean to say that , os he
watched others , ho was paid his expenses ,
as we did not want him to bo out of pocket.
After the witness bad asserted that while
the name of Dreyfus was often mentioned in
tha documenta In the possession of the In
telligence department , bis Innocence was no-
were hinted at , the general then pro
ceeded to defend Du Paty de Clam from
the Insinuations of Colonel Plcquart and
corroborated General Mercler'a evidence in
regard to tbo alleged confessions made to
Captain Lebrun-Renault.
Witness learned , however , that Captain
Lebrun-Renault "intimidated by the censure
of M. Caslmlr-Perler , " did not dare to re
peat these confessions and gave only an In
complete account of tbo occurrences at tbo
time of the prisoner's degradation. There
was no truth , the witness eaid , In Colonel
Plcquart's statements In regard to bis ( Gen
eral Gonso's ) excitement January S. Tbo
general denied other statements made by
Plcquart and referred to the alleged number
of arrests ordered by Plcquart on "un
founded charges of espionage. "
Considerable comment was aroused by tbo
fact that , contrary to the provision * of the
law requiring tbo testimony to be verbal
and without notes , General Goneo , adjusting
his eyeglasses , proceeded to consult a largo
notebook and frequently refreshed his mem
ory.
ory.At
At this point the testimony was cut short
by the adjournment of court until Mon
day.
