ESTERHAZY UNDER A CLOUD Experts on Writing from Institute Bay He Wrote the Bordereau , MERCIER MAKES A QUEER ADMISSION Hxtrrtuclr Ii"iivornMe to Drryfim People nt it Lon lo Compre hend III * Aiipnrcnt o of Front ! 11ENNDS , Aug. 30. At the opening of the UrayfU ! ) case At , 1'aur Meyer , member of the luatltuto and director of the School ot An cient Manuscripts , was the first witness called. Ho deposed In favor of Dreyfus. After hearing MM. Mollnlcr and Glry and M. 1'lcot , a member of the Inntltute , all ot whom testified In favor of D-cyfus , General Dcloye testified against the prisoner on the artillery reference * In the bordereau. Then the court , ou the application of the govern ment outntnlseary , Major Carrlero , ordered thai the opening part ot tomorrow's session bo behind closed doors , for the purpose ot illsoiwaiui ; documents relating to the artil lery. lery.The The orldonco of MM. Meyer , Mollnler nnd Olry , alt ot whom arc handwriting experts of the II rat rank , was n strong point for Dreyfus. They were most emphatic In declaring the bordereau wiui written by Estorhazy and cre ated a bettor Impression than M , Icrtlllon , by not Introducing the fantastic diagrams which the latter deemed necessary. The action of General Mcrclor In asking to bo Allowed to reply to Mollnlcr and then getting up and confirming the professor's state ment that Kstcrhnzy changed his handwrit ing ilnco 1894 puizled the audience. I'ur.zU-iI nt Mrrulrr'n Action. That Estorhazy ( should have deemed It ndrifttvblo to change his handwriting since the date of the bordereau , which appears at IIrat eight to Indicate that he wrote It , and that Morclor should support Prof. Mollnlcr , arouuod dltmuunlon an to the general's mo tives. There uro oonao people who see In Morclor'a unsolicited testimony yesterday In nupport of the honorable nature ot M. Mathieu Dreyfus' vlnlt to Colonel Sandherr in 1894 In behalf of hla brother and the conoral'a tuovu today an Indication of eomo changa of attitude , perhaps a prelude to candid avowal of his mistakes of 1894. On the other hand , many persons think General Morclor , fearing that Saturday 'a exposure will discredit him altogether with the Judges , has conceived the Idea of giving way on certain points , which , moreover , are almost incontestable , and thus , to some extent , re instate himself by on affectation of Im partiality. M. Plcot related an interesting conversa tion which ho had with the Auatro-Hungarlan military attache. Colonel Schneider , men tion ot irtioso name evoked a prompt pretest from Major Carrlore in the name of the government and state. Colonel Schneider , according to this witness , admitted that BBterhary acted ns a spy and wrote the bordereau. lionet PlnyH to GaUcrlen. Gonorol Roget , with hds usual shrewdness , eolzod upon M. Plcot'a statement that Colonel Schneider expressed astonishment that French officers should have the bad taste to question the word of foreign officers to mount the platform and make a short speech in defense of the attitude of the French officers , concluding with the remark : "I intervene because when French officers are attached they have the right to defend thern- r.olvea. " These words will be published all over Franco nnd will tend to make General Roget moro popular with the army. General do Loye repeated hla testimony before the court of cassation relating to the 320 short cannon hydro-pnoumatic braku and the Robin shell. Dreyfuu in reply mode a really clear statn- mont explaining that ho saw the hydro- pnoumatio bralco once at Eourgco , once at the School of War , and that ho never saw it uiod bocuuso , while on the general staff , ho woo never present nt firing practice. Major Cnrrlero then made his application to hare the court sit bolrtnd closed doors tomorrow , explaining that ho desired to nubm.lt to the court certain documents pre pared by the gunnery bureau , containing In formation which It was not doslrablo to dlMiiso In public. The court , after deliberation , granted the application , and nlno acceded to the roqueut of the defemio that their witness , Major Hartmaiin of the artillery , bo allowed to bo present , OB ho would glvo important testi mony hovrlnK that Dreyfus could not have written the paragraphs in the bordereau ooncurninff artillery. I'roceedlnisa lu Detnll. Following uro the proceedings in detail : The first witness today , M. Paul Meyer , member of the Institute and director ot the School of Ancient Manuscripts , described bin r&iuarchoa lu connection with the Dreyfus case which lad to bin conviction that the bordereau waa not only In Eaterhazy'a luuulwriting , but waa actually written by Kutorhazy. Tha witnesa explained that In Itld ovlJciico butora the nnslzm court ho was unut > lo to bo DO poalllvo In regard to the wrltur oooauso ho hod only srcn a fuo- eimile ot the bordereau , but at the court of caemiion ho saw the original bordereau. "I convinced myself , " said M. Mayor , "by a magnifying class thai the bordereau was In a fruu hand and without husltu- wheroaH it lu jiro leoly liimlutlon In formation of the stroke * -whluh reveals the uao of a method of tracing. I can nlllnn itliat It IB In the writing and in tli very ( Biand of Eatorhaay. That In perfectly clour to mo. " ( Commotion ) . At ttu > communion of hlu testimony the eave a doinonutratlon ot the fallacy Ilia Dortlllon ayKtoni , Prof. AUBuats Mollnlcr of the School of Manuscripts gave similar uvldonco. Ho said that eaoli frotih examination of tbo /bordereau / only &orv d to further convince liiin that U wiis the work of Bstarhazy. Arnl/1 deep attention the witness demonstrated how flu * ooncluiilonn ot Ilia exports who at tributed rh borderiwiu to Droyfus w ro imttuolly destructive nnd dwelt on th do- ioota of M. IlertlUon'fl arguments , pointing out Ui striking resuiuhlanoa of the alleged handwriting with Intr , who , ho added , In ov ryjj Jiad relations wi i jho fonnorj "Having emphasized the point , I return to the change In E tcrhe.iy's handwriting to 15'j7 , perhap * , before I am satisfied. ' ' ( Com motion. ) Prof. Olry , also of the School of Ancient Manuscript * , traversed ground similar to that covered by Prof , Mollnler. lie ald the bordereau only had a superficial likeness to Dreyfus' handwriting and assorted that it was certainly the work of Efltcrbary. The wltncsd also paid the bordereau was not written with the aid of the keywords. M. Laborl nrkcd If the witness had no ticed a change In nstorhazy's epigraphy , and Prof. Glry replied that he had studied the question , but did not think there had been any marked change. Counsel then asked whether General Mer- clcr had meant to intimate that ICnter- hnzy's handwriting had become moro or less like that of Dreyfus' since 1894 , to which the general replied that ho had not wished to cxprera an opinion , but he re iterated that M. Uertlllon had shown that Eatcrhazy's handwriting had become more like thnt of the bordereau. M. Laborl retorted that In that cane Gen eral Mercler hould not have repeated the evidence of M. Orenter before the court of cne'mtlon , as M. Grenler showed that Estcrhazy's cnllgraphy had become Ires and Ices like the writing both of the bordereau and of Dreyfus. Slitiln OfT Ilrrllllon. M. Ilortlllon at this Juncture onld he dr- Rllnl to hpeak , but the president of the court , Colonel Jouaust , hastily rose and said amidst laughter : "The sitting Is suspended. " Then M. Uertlllon resumed his scat in high dudgeon. On the resumption ot the sitting M. Georges Plcot , a member of the Institute , wan called tor the defense , M , Dcmange , of counsel for the prisoner , explaining that Plcot was summoned becaimc. In May last , ho had an Interview with a foreign military attache , In the course of which mention wan made of the document Inncrtcd In the don- slor by General Mcrcler. Colonel Jouaust cautioned the witness to bo careful In his statements. After promising to cxerclso care , M. Plcot started with sa > lng that he had an Interview with the Austro-Hungarlan military attache. Colonel Jouaust stopped the witness , saying : "You cannot continue like this. " Major Carrlore , the government commis sary , also exclaimed sharply : " 1 protest In the name of the government and the state against the indiscretion committed by the witness. " M. Plcot then recommenced his testimony , saying ho had an Interview with "a certain military attache , " and that the conversation turned upon the Druytus cauo. The attache expressed surprluo at the "Incorrect atti tude of French officers , " In doubting the word of foreign officers. "My Impression , " added the witness , "was that ho was anxious to assert ( Irmly and unequivocally the absolute Innocence of Dreyfus. " ( Sensation ) . "Regarding the bordereau , " continued M. Plcot , "tho attache said only three docu ments , enumerated , were referred to , the fact being that the others were padding , meant to swell the dossier. " The witness noticed that the attache em ployed the expression "hydraulic brake , " and never "pneumatic brake. " In regard to Estorhazy , the attache , M. Plcot said , declared that ho considered him a swindler. The attache also asserted that Esterhazy had relations with Colonel Schwarzkoppen , who dismissed him because Estorhazy only brought Information devoid of Interest. "It was then , " continued M. Plcot , "that Eatorhazy tried to enter the war office and almost succeeded , and it was then that ho wrote to Colonel Schwarzkoppen the letter slnco known as the bordereau. In reply to the writer of the bordereau , " added M. Picot , "Colonel Schwarzkoppen wrote the telegram card , known as the petit bleu , but on reflection ho crumpled It up and throw it iu the fireplace. " At this Juncture Genoivil Ropet asked leave to spcaK , and , stationing himself bo-1 cldo the witness , he said he must strongly protest against M. Plcot's evidence regarding the military's attache's surprise that French officers did uot bcllovo their foreign col leagues , i Itotrrt TlpfciulN flic RpiiornlH. | "What does the witness think , " continued General Roget , "of the foreign olflrer , who , having caused the publication in the Figaro I of an emphatic dental of a statement or { General Merclor , was afterward obliged to acknowledge the authorship of a document , ! the paternity of which he at first denied ? " I M. Plcot retorted that he had only repeated - I poatod statements made to him nnd had abstained from comments on them. Ha had , therefore , nothing to say In reply to . General Rogct's questions. { M. Demange , Intervenln ? , aakrd general Roget If he did not think the foreign officer's ralstako was excusable , slnco the word "re port" had been applied to u document not , possessing the character of the report. | "It Is not for mo to accuse or excuse , " I replied the general. "I c nflno myself to pointing out to the court that the convereai i tlon repeated occurred In May that is lo say at the tame the Investigation of the court of cassation was already known. For my part , I only intervened beeause French officers have been arraigned , nnd when being accused French officers have the right to reply. " ( Excitement. ) The general then returned to his seat and General do Loyo , director of artillery at the war office , was called to the witness bar. Ho repeated his explanations , given before tha court of causation as to the various peculiarities of the artillery , particularly with reference to the brake of thn " 120. " short guns. The -witness said he considered that In 1E94 It would have been Impossible for any officer serving with his regiment to communicate anything In regard to the braku tie tiaucxi uiiu ino 01 IUIH gun. , IIUUUUGU gun was In use nt Itenncs , the officers formIng - Ing the court-martial , among whom was an officer commanding a " 120" ' short gun , had only the vaguest ' 'lens ' about this gun , while In 1894 the details of the "pneumatic brake" oould have been known to very few officers.

All my knowledge t > t the pneumatic brake was derived from the lectures.

These are the conclusions I reached In 1891 nnd 1 chronicled them In a report mmlo at the time. " When the prisoner waa resented Major Carrlero announced that ho had received a letter from General Chamoln Informing him that by order of the minister ot war the Third artillery department hnd prepared a dossier of the documents the defense re quested nnd that those documents could bo submitted to the court by General de Loyo under the mine conditions as observed In re gard to the secret dossier. The major , there fore , asked the court to sit In secret or behind - hind closed doors. M. De-mango - asked that Majors Hartman nnd Ducrcps bo allowed to attend when Gen eral do Loye communicated the documents. After the court hnd .deliberated In private Colonel Jouaust announced that It would sit in secret tomorrow morning In order to consider the dossier and that Majors Hartman - man and Ducrecs were authorized to at tend. tend.The The court adjourned nt 11:15 : o'clock.
