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

illsoiwaiui ; documents relating to the artil

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

up and confirming the professor's state

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

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

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.

school of war. I have not een It In action.
I have not Peon the ' 120' short gun fired. I
have never been present at the firing trials ,
but the probationers attended.
"Mention has also been made ot the shrap
nel shell of ISfil. The knowledge ot General
de Loye on this point is much more exten-
fllvo than mine and everything he has said
la quite correct , lu 1S94 I studied the shell
nnd In a necessarily Incomplete study reached
the conclusion that the shell of the 1891
pattern was n shell In which the bullets
wore kept In place by a smoko-generatlm ;
milwtanco Intended to produce dense cloud *
ot nmoko on bursting , In order to facilitate
range finding. 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.

&oy's School Clothes.
Perceptibly Different School Clothes.
If you cannot recognize the difference in |
make , style , and finish of our Boys' i
Clothing we shall not expect your money
here. Wo do not fancy that people are
crazy to save a dollar in money at the
expense of ten dollars in style nnd finish.
You shall have good , well balanced ,
beautiful clothes if you come here , and
the price will often bo one-third less
than elsewhere but wo shall not sacri
fice style and finish on any garment for
the more object of getting your dollars. Wo know
there must bo people who care for something else than
walking around with signs of cheapness. Wo start
you with School Boys' ' Good Suits as low as
$1.25
and up as high as you care to go. Some boys are not
hard on their clothes , such boys can pay more for
them. Those who are particularly hard on them
should buy a cheaper suit and buy thorn often. The
new styles of boys' clothing are opening up with
marvelous attractions. We shall fairly eclipse all
previous efforts so many substantially handsome
things all so fresh and bright. There is no place
like ' 'The Nebraska" for boys' school clothing.
