artillery ofllcers , could have secured Information
mation on the subjects mentioned In the
bordereau , to which the major retorted that
If any artillery officer had been questioned
by Dreyfus ho would already have come
forward to say so , as a matter of strict duty.
Uu 1,0) eo bo I'onltlvf.
General do Loye , questioned by SI. Laborl
nnd SI. Dcmange , said the Inventor of tbo
Robin obeli told him Dreyfus never asked htm
for particulars about his shell except on a
minor point. The general added that he
came as a technical witness to show Dreyfus
could bo guilty , adding that It was not hia
business to say whether ho believed him In
nocent or guilty.
SI. Laborl asked General da Loyo If ho
know whether the documents which could
have been betrayed by a traitor , especially
by the writer of the bordereau , were Impor
tant , whereupon the general turned to coun
sel and excitedly cried : "Don't ask me ;
don't ask me. "
These exclamations created a sensation ,
which was doubled yvhcn General do Loyo
added that there was sufficient In the
bordereau to establish that tha traitor
know the Importance of the documents be
was giving up. The witness added : "When
I read the bordereau I was dismayed , "
Major Hartmann , In reply to General do
Loye. reiterated that the author of tha
bordereau was Ignorant of artillery mat
ters , for "If ho meant the ' 120' hydraulic
brake he gave particulars of what was long
known , whllo If he meant the ' 120' short ho
employed a wrong expression. " ,
General Slorclcr here mounted the stage and I
lomarked that the wiltcr of the bordereau
might very well employ the term hydraullo
brake , because that was the term used by the
Germans tor such brakes.
This ended the depusltlqn ot Slajor Hart- ]
raann , whu certainly was a very valuable
witness for the defense.
The next witness , SI. Hnvet , a member of tha
Institute , took up tha bordereau from a
grammatical point of view , declaring It to
be his conviction , after studying closely tha
stylus of Dreyfus and Esterhazy , that tha
latter wrote It , The witness entered Into nn
Interesting analysis of the phraseology of the
bordereau , pointed out that certain phrases
In It were within Ksterhnzy's letters , but
never In those of Dreyfus , Ha then traced
the Influence exercised on Estorhazy by his
linguistic acquitements , notably traces of
German construction.
The government commissary , Slajor Car-
rloro , asked SI. Ilavet If he had been present
nt sessions of the court before he had testi
fied. SI. Havot said "Yes , " at which the
major , with great severity , said ; "You have
been guilty ot a grave breach of Judiciary
discipline. "
To thla SI , Havet quietly remarked ; "nut
I had not been summoned as a witness at
the time I attended the sessions. "
Slajor Carrlero sat down , checkmated.
( ii'iieral Oiiimo roiiiilntnH | ,
The letters exchanged between Colonel
Plcquart and General Gonso nt the time the
colonel wanted a thorough Investigation Into
the case wera then read and SI , Laborl
pointed out to General Gonse that these
( otters never alluded to the alleged confes-
ilon of Dreyfus.
General Gonse replied that It was because
ho always advised Colonel Plcquart not to
mix up the Esterhazy and Droyfus cases.

Dreyfus , ho added , had been condemned and
his case could not bo reopened , but they
were bound to see If there v > aa not another
traitor.
Tha general made a bitter complaint at
the fact that his letters had been com
municated to M. Scheurer-Kwtncr , former
vice president of the Senate , who published
them In a book entitled "Pontius Pilate. "
Reply to M. Laborl , General Gonso In
sisted that Dreyfus having been condemned ,
It was not his duty to go back to his case.
A eceno between General Gonse and Colonel
nel Plcquart followed. The latter , being
called , said ho gave General Gonso's letters
to his lawyer when ho realized that he was
the object of abominable Intrigues , and
when ho received , In Tunis , a letter of
threats from the late Lieutenant Colonel
Henry , sent with the assent of Generals
Gonso and Do Bolsdoffre. Colonel Plcquart
added that he was not responsible for the
subsequent publication of the letters.
In reply , General Goneo said he had not
glvon hie assent to Henry's letter , and that
Colonel Plcquart perceived maolilnmttona
against him everywhere.
Plcquart then declared that at the same
time he took the bordereau to General Gonso
ho showed Llm the secret dossier. There
fore , ho claimed , General Gonso could easily
have acquainted himself with the probabil
ity that Dreyfus was Innocent.
Admit * Opcnliiw Letter * .
M. Laborl then took General Gonso In
hand on the subject of tampering with Colonel
nel Plcquart'a correspondence , while the
colonel was In Tunis , and Gonse admitted
that ono letter was opened , and that the
words of this letter were used In forging tbo
telegram which woa Intended to destroy the
\nluo of the petit bleu. The general In
sisted , howivor , that only suspected letters
uddrewsed to Colonel Plcquart were opened.
Plcquart replied emphatically that all his
letters were opened.
Discussing the "Sepranza" letters , M ,
Laborl said the last letter , having been
preserved nnd not returned by Colonel
Picqunrt , might be considered to bo a
forgery.
Colonel Jouaust rebuked M. Laborl for
raising tbo discussion and counsel retorted
warmly that ho Intended , according to
article 319 of the code , to say whatever ha
considered proper on a matter which could
bring light.
Counsel then questioned General Gonse
on the subject of the late Lieutenant Colonel
nel Henry's forgery , and the general replied
that ho considered It an unfortunate maneu
ver directed against Dreyfus and not
against Plcquart , Henry desiring to fuinlsh
proof against Dreyfus , of which there was
really no need , the witness added , oa the
diplomatic dossier contained sudlclcnt proofs.
SI. Laborl at once asked what they wore ,
but Colonel Jouauet refused to put the ques
tion. Counsel thereupon declared ho would
draw up a formal application for the readIng -
Ing of these papers.
The next witness , M , Fond-Lamotto , a
former officer at the artillery , testified that
In 1S94 Colonel Plcquart lent him a firing
manual , which ho might have kept as long
as ho pleased , "So , " tbo witness added ,
"thero was little secrecy at that time. Any
ofllccr could have obtained one In August ,
189-1. Another point In favor ot Dreyfus
was that no probationer could have believed
In 1891 that be would go to the maneuvers. "
The clerk read a circular dated May 15 ,
18S1"announcing that the probationers would
not go to the maneuvers.
M. do Fond-Lamotto concluded by declar
ing that It the prosecution would follow up
the pieces of evidence they would bo abso
lutely convinced that Dreyfus did not write
the bordereau.
An Untiiim * entitle Argument.
This wltnew , who was a fellow-proba
tioner of Droyfus , proved ono of the etrong-
cat witnesses for the defense , as bo brought
out facts In support of his contention
that Dreyfus could not have written tha
bordereau.
"If , as at flrst asserted , the bordereau
was dated May 23 , " the witness aruged ,
"Dreyfus could not have written 'I am going
to the maneuvers , ' for a circular was Issued
la May informing the probatlonero that
they would not go to the maneuvers. While ,
If the bordereau was dated In April , cs now
aeeerted , Dreyfus could not have epokda ot
tha firing manual , which wag only printed
at the end of May. "
Not one of the cenerols today found a
reply to the last arcument , which looked
like a clincher. General de Bolsdeffre alone
declaring that , although It was true tha
ctcrular mentioned was sent to the proba
tioners , they knew that they could , never
theless , eo to the maneuvers U they made
bpeclal application.
Generals Mcrcier and Reset then went on
the stage and confronted M. de Fond-
Lainotte and a heated discussion ensued.
General Roeot asked when the witness had
altered , bU conviction La favor ot
and M. do Foud-Lamotte "
. replied : "At the
time I was before the court of cassation I
expected proof of my comrade's guilt and I
was thunderstruck when I found the date of
the bordereaus had been changed. "
The prisoner then rose to reply to General
do Bolsdeftre's argument. He declared ho
had never asked for permission to go to the
maneuvers and recalled that when Colonel
Du Paty do Clam fixed the date of the
bordereau In August he ( ( Dreyfus ) pointed
out that ho could not have written the
phrase , "I am going to the maneuvers. "
General Roget here Interposed that re
quests to RO to the maneuvers wore usually
made verbally , so It could not be proved
whether Dreyfus had or had not asked to go.
The general , however , admitted that no In
quiry had ever been made on this Impor.-
tant point.
The court then adjourned for the day.
General Roget was greatly excited dur
ing the forenoon scene , but M. de Fond-
Lamotte did not flinch. Ho retorted quickly
to all the general's observations. The two
men glared at each other and once General
Roget addresser SI. do Fond-Lamotte In
such a bullying fashion that tbo audience
hooted him.
I'roceeilliiKN In Dctnll.
The following arc the proceedings In de
tail :
Major Hartmann of the artillery , whose
deposition was Interupted jesterday by the
adjournment of the court , ascended the
stand and completed his testimony , refer
ring to his examination of the paragraphs
of the bordereau relating to the modifica
tions In artillery formations. He pointed
out that much depended upon whether the
word "formations" referred to formations
In times ot war or In times of peace. In
the former case , ho added , ouly an officer
belonging to the first bureau of the head
quarters staff could have obtained the In
formation prior to July 1 , 1804 , except
through steps that would have Immediately
led to detection. After July 4 , 1894 , when
the decree was Issued making effective the
now modifications In artillery , It was n mat
ter of common knowledge. If the forma
tions referred to were "merely maneuvers ,
only an officer attending the maneuvers of
th'o Third brigade at Chalons camp could
have obtained the Information , and no offi
cer ot the headquarters staff could bo sus
pected.
[ NOTE Dreyfus was not connected with
the First bureau and did not attend the
Chalons maneuvers. Esterhazy attended
these maneuvers. ]
Discussing the firing manual , Major
Hartmann showed that It was widely dis
tributed in August , 1894 , and therefore )
could have been borrowed by an officer of
any arm of the service attending the gun
nery school. But tbo comments In the
bordereau , In the opinion of the witness ,
could only bo attributed to a non-artillery
offleor.
Major Hartman was proceeding to dis
cuss the shells when General do Loyo ob
jected , saying such matters could only bo
discussed en camera. Colonal Jouaust de
cided that If a secret cession of the court
was necessary , It could bo held at the end
ot today's session or the first thing on Mon
ti uy morning.
Members of the court-martial then ques
tioned Major Hartmann , who differed with
thorn as regards the meaning of sentences
In the bordereau , nud the witness proceeded
to ehow how Estcrbazy could have supplied
the Information Indicated In the bordereau
and how easily ho could have collected at
the Chalons camp information sufficient to
enable him to compose a report on Mada
gascar nnd the covering of troops.
Replying to M. Laborl , the wltneea re
peated the testimony .lie had given before
the court of cassation In regard to the com
munication of secret artillery documents
by Archivist Doutonuot ,
LeiiUnKO Con 111 Have Occurred ,
Counsel recalled the statements of Gen
erals Roget nnd Mercler contradicting Cap
tain Freyntaettcr's evidence relative to leak
ing of Information about the shell , and
asked the wltneEa If ho was euro the leakage -
ago could have occurred In 1E94 , to which
Major Hartmaun replied : "Certainly , In
both the case of the shell and the detonator. "
Replying to further questions , the major
cald that while ho was connected with the
artillery technical department ho never saw
Dreyfua.
General de Loyo here advanced again and
remarked that Major Hartmann's evidence
did not gl\e htm the Impression that It
wholly accorded with the real facts. ( Sen-
6ation . )
Continuing , the general proceeded to re
fute Major Hartmann'a arguments. He
aiserted Drejfus could have casually ab
stracted Information from the conversation
of ofllcers acquainted with the detalla of the
gun and the brake , without his Informant
being aware of U ,
Tha major replied that if the general
tenor ot hla evidence was admitted to be
true , It was dlfllcult for details not to be
true also. Ho therefore asked General de
Loye to bo more explicit. The general reIterated -
Iterated that Droyfus could have obtained
the Information from offlcera with a special
kuowledgo who had Imparted It uncon
sciously during the course of convcisntlon.
The major pointed out that this eould
hardly have happened In the case of Dreyfus ,
as U has been shown throughout tbo trial
that It was sufficient for any person to have
been In touch with Dreyfus for that person
to rom-smber what had passed between hliri
and the prisoner. The witness did not
doubt that It an artillery officer had been
asked for Information by Dreyfus he would
have coma forward to say BO , "as It would
have been his Strict conscientious duty. "
( Commotion ) .
Incitement In Court.
At this stage of the proceedings there was
an animated discussion between General de
Loye and SI. Laborl , who closely ques
tioned the director of artillery.
SI. Laborl Can General de Loye say
anything In regard to the Importance of the
documents the traitors , particularly the
writer of the bordereau , may have de
livered ?
General de Loye , speaking with greit
emotion , and extending his arm towards
counsel for the defence , said : "Don't ask
me , don't ask me. There Is sufficient evi
dence In the bordereau that the traitor Is a
masterhand a seigneur. He knows the
Importance of documents ho Is delivering.
Information has the value of official doc
uments. It Is like notes of tbo bank of
France. The information was accepted as
pure gold. When I read the bordereau I
was shocked. " ( Prolonged excitement In
court. )
SI. Laborl How does General de Loyo CT-
plaln the words In the bordereau , "some
Interesting Information ? "
General de Loye Great heavens ! Yes.
It was Interesting Information Information
affecting the covering of troops. Why , It
was of the greatest possible value.
Counsel asked Major Hartmann to give an
opinion of this point and the major pointed
out that oven If the writer of the bordereau
was n "masterhand , " a "seigneur. " ho was
Ignorant ot artillery matters , for If ho re
ferred to the hydraulic brake of the 120 gun
ho was communicating matters long known ,
while If he referred to the 120 short gun the
expression was ? not correct.
When asked If ho had anything to say the
prisoner rose and , holding a paper In bis
hand , said :
"General do Loye has said that the ar
tillery department placed firing manuals at
the disposal of the second bureau. The
bordereau In announcing the dispatch of this
manual states that It has been pjaccd at
the disposal of the probationary officers.
There Is hero an Important Inaccuracy. The
probationers of the headquarters staff never
attended these firing trials. I believe It Is
the officers holding permanent positions In
the staff who are meant. I see on the margin
the names of such officers. "
General do Loye In reply said the error had
been made in the second bureau and not In
the artillery department.
Continuing , General do Loyo Incidentally
energetically protested agalnrt General So-
bert'a remarks relative to Captain Vnlerlo'a
testimony and accused General Sebert of Im
puting to the captain as a crime tha fact
that he had risen from the ranks.
Cut iilKiutc Apprnm In Court.
A brief sjsuenslon followed and nftor the
resumption of the session It was noticed
that SI. Cavalsnac , former minister of war ,
was In court , sitting besldo General do
Bolsdeffre ,
The letters exchanged between General
Gonso and Colonel Picquart relative to Ester-
hazy wcra road , as already published ,
Gonse , In these communications , urged
caution , whllo Plcquart replied that unless
he acted quickly they would be overwhelmed.
SI. Laborl pointed out that during Plo-
quart's Investigations , whllo urging caution ,
General Gonso never mentioned the alleged
confession of Dreyfus.
General Gonso tried to explain this by
eaylng ho advised Plcquart to separata the
two cases , saying Dreyfus had been con
victed and they could not reopen the ques-
ton of his guilt or Innocence , but the general
said bo told Plcquart he ought to Investi
gate whether there were other traitors
Referring to the correspondence with
Plcquart , General Ganse exclalmcJ : "When
one procures tbo handwriting of a man he
can get htm banged. " ( Laughter. )
General Goneo referred to well known sayIngs -
Ings of a French Judge , Laubardemont :
"Give me four lines of a man's handwriting
and I'll have him banged. "
Continuing , General Gonse said : "When a
man Intends to publish another' letters , he
asks what the writer's meaning was. That
Is but fair , But without doing so , Plcquart
handed my letters to SI. Schcnrer-K-cstner
4 without my knowledge or consent. Tbeaa
letters have been discussed everywhere aJ
have bcccn published In Q book which can
ho found nt every biokseller's , entitled ,
"Gonse-Pllate. " ( Kxcltement. )
SI. LaboMVns not the bordereau , In con
junction with the petit bleu , the basis ot
Plcquart's belief In Ealcrhary'a guilt.
Oonse-I said to Plequart : "Don't let us
trouble about handwriting nt present. "
SI. Laborl How could the Dreyfus and Ks-
tcrhazy cases be sep\rated when both wcro
based on a common document ?
Gonse Uecauso at that time Dreyfus had
been cor\lctcd and the bordereau was not
ascribed to him.
SI. Laborl Was It not possible to recon
sider an error ?
Gonse There was nothing to prove to mo
that the bordereau was written by Ustcr-
hazy.
SI. Unborl Will General Gonso repeat
what Colonel Plcquart told him concerning
the conclusions of SI. Dertlllon ?
General ( louse I was not acquainted with
SI. Uertlllon's conclusions , but Plcquart
seems to exaggerate them.
At SI. Laborl's request Colonel Plcquart
was recalled and said : "In a brief letter
which I wrote General Gonso In regard to j
SI. Dcrtlllon's conclusions I only referred to
part of h'a ' observations nnd the best proof
that I did not wish to exaggerate them Is
the fact that 1 asked General Gonso to order
supplementary Inquiry. "
Colonel Jouaust In what form did SI.
Uorlllfon communicate the result ot his ex
amination ?
Colonel Plcquart Verbally , on two occa
sions. . As regards General Gonse's letters ,
I handed them to a lawjcr , when I under
stood I was to be the object of abominable
Intrigues and when I received from my
former subordinate , Henry , whllo In TunU ,
n threatening letter which had been for
warded with the assent of Generals Gen o
and De llolsdcffrc. If this letter was pub
lished I cannot bo held responsible for It.
General Gonse maintained that the Henry
rotter was written without his assent and
In reply to an Insolent letter from Plcquart.
The latter , the general added , saw machina
tions everywhere. He alleged that ho was
sent to Tunis to he killed. The court could
form Us own conclusions.
Colonel Plequart remarked that he
brought the secret dossier to General Gonso
simultaneously with the bordereau and that
the general consequently was In n position
to Judge of the probabilities ot the Innocence
of Dreyfus.
SI. Laborl asked If General Gonse know of
the plot hatched against Plcquart and If he
knew that letters addressed to Plcquart nt
Tunis wore onaned nt tliu Wnr oillco nnd
the general admitted that a letter was
opened In the Intelligence department In
November He addexl that suspicious letters
were always handed to him by Lieutenant
Colonel Henry , so that ho ( the witness )
might report to the minister of war on
them.
SI. Laborl To whom was the letter ad
dressed ?
General Gonse I do not know. No doubt
to the chief of some department.
SI. Plcquart It was addressed to me per
sonally.
SI. Laborl Docs General Gonse kuow that
the words In the letter In question were
used for the purpose of fabrlcatlnc a tele
gram Intending to destroy the value of the
petit bleu ?
General Gonso admitted that the expres
sions seemed to him suspicious. If the
letters were seized It was because they wcro
addressed to Plcquart as head of the depart
ment and It was thoucht they might relate
to official matters. He added that Pic-
quart's letters were only opened when they
looked suspicious.
Colonel Picqunrt retorted that It was curi
ous his opened letters afterward reached
him without a sign of having been tampered
with.
Counsel then questioned General Gonse
relative to the opening of the "Speranza"
letter and the general replied that this letter
was not addressed to Plcquart , but bore a
curious address.
SI. Laborl Why did General Pellleux ns-
cribo the letter to Plcquart , whom ho had
never seen ?
General Goneo I do not know.
SI. Laborl pointed out that the first letter ,
which was genuine , was forwarded to Colonel
nel Plcquart , after having been opened ,
while- the "Speranza" letter was retained.
The latter could , therefore , bo regarded as
the work of a forger. ( Great excitement. )
Colonel Jouaust You are entering Into n
discussion.
SI. Laborl ( sharply ) No , by virtue of
article 319 of the code I merely eay what I
think In regard to the evidence.
General Gonse , replying further , dwelt
upon the fact that It wna necessary that
the Intelligence department bhould know
the acts of Colonel Plcquart , who had been
removed on account of his conduct.
SI. Laborl Docs General Gonso think the
Henry forgery was Iho result of n plot
against Colonel Plcquart ?
General Gonse said ho thought the forgery
was "an unfortunate proceeding. ( Laughter. )
Ho would have prevented It if ho had been
consulted , but he did not believe there was
a plot against Plcquart. Henry desired to
have fresh proof against Dreyfus , "though
fresh proof was not really required , as the
diplomatic dossier contained ample proof. "
SI. Laborl protested against such a state
ment and asked which document ot the doa-
pler Implicated Dreyfus.
Colonel Jouaust refused to allow tbo
question and counsel thereupon remarked
that he reserved the right to form what con
clusions he thought proper on this point.
Colonel Jouaust Forcn as many con
clusions as you like.
SI. Laborl next referred to the attempt to
brlbo Commissary Temps and erasures In the
petit bleu. General Gonso declared the petit
bleu already had traces of erasure before It
was flrflt photographed. This SI , Laborl
vigorously denied and naked that the evi
dence of the cxperlo proving the contrary
uhoiifd bo read ,
General Roget reappeared on the scene
and amid the keenest attention of all de
scribed the forgery proceedings against
Plcquart as resulting from his ( the witness' )
discovery that erasures hod been made In
the petit bleu.
"It was General Zurllndcn , " Roget ad
ded , "who ordered Picquart to bo prosecuted ,
I assume responsibility for all my own acts ,
but for my own acts alono. I am surprised
that the defense should arraign mo on this
point. "
Colonel Jouaust announced that the court
would nit en camera on Monday morning.
The coun adjoin ned for the day at noon.

RESTORED Y A
GRAPE-NUTS $ Y
TBS
FOOD.
A UATIOVVL FOOD
One of the well-known croccrs In Wash. .
Ington , D. C. , who supplies the food of many
of the brainy , representative
men of the
country , eajs : "I have become an enthusi
astic consumer of Grape-Nuts. It has con-
sttutcd solely my morning and evening meal
for the past eight mouths. Previous to this ,
worn out with overwork , broken down In
health , dyspepsia having led to UrlRht's dis
ease , heart trouble und what not. I wns
given to die. This
up food came to ray no
tice through one of my custBomers. The
name suggested something In the dessert
line dried fruit , prunes , rnlslns or the like ,
and whra 1 i ut It In the ttore , n glance at
the label persuaded me to make n trial per
sonally.
I had at the store for my supper , a dlah
and a half dish , and was Impressed , perhaps
unfavorably , with Its richness , perceiving
at the eamo time how very appropriately
the new food was named. Strange as It may
appear , Its effect was olinoat at once apparent
Seated that evening nt my home , I remarked ,
to the family that It wns the first tlmo In n
whole year that I had felt like myself. I
wns much elated and naturally attributed
the cbango to Grape-Nuts. Sly Improve
ment slnco then bun been continuous , my
health Is better than ever before , I look tea
years younger and am untiring In strength "
( The gentleman does not care to have hlg
name quoted publicly , b tuhls store can bo
found nt 720 Eighteenth Street , Washington ,
D , C. )
Now for the reason. The man or woman ,
worn out with overwork or nervous pros
tration will find an Immediate gain In
strength by the use of Grape-Nuts nnd
cream , becauseof the fact that the natural
phosphate of potash obtained from certain
par la of the grains , Is one ot the strong ele
ments In Grupe-Nuts , nnd this la picsonted
to the system In the form demanded by na
ture ; not as a drug.
The system takes up the needed imrtlclea
of phosphate ot potash and It In now known
that the soft gray matter which fills the
delicate nerve centers throughout the body
ns well as tue brain and the solar plexus ,
curi only bo made and renewed from day to
day by the action of phosphate of potash oa
albumen. Albumen Is one of the principal
elements of all food , but unless albumen
has with It In the Bjstcm n tufllclent ainoupt
of phosphate of potash , It cannot bo trans
formed Into brain matter without tha action
of this particular element , for there IB no
known way to make gray matter except by
the combination of albumcu and phosphate
of potash.
Therefore , when ono ueca Orape-NuU , hi
makes use ot the bt-at m-lentllio knowludgu
of the day In the selection of food for In
vigorating and revitalizing the body ThU
food baa become famous throughout the
world , and It Is to bo found In every first-
class grocery ntore. Grape-Nutx are made by
I'oatum Co. at their factories In llattlo
Creek.
