choked with emotion. The spectators held
their breath as he retorted defiantly to
Colonel Jouaust's refusal to put the ques
tions , his words drowning Jou.uist'B voice
In nn Irresistible torrent , whose force was.
heightened by his passionate gestures.
Whern M. Laborl finally fell back in his
peat with a look of hopeless Indignation his
face blanched and his fingers twitched spasmodically
medically a speaking testimony to the high
tension to which his nerves had been
wrough by fruitless combat with the Iron
rule of the bench.
' Captain Dreyfus In his \chcment protect
ngalnst General Billet's Insinuation of his
complicity with ISsterhnzy recalled his out
break earlier In the trial. It was a strange
contrast to him later when he had appar
ently mastered his feeling , giving a reply to j
Jlnjor Gallopln of the artillery In a calm ,
moderate tone. In this one was almost
templed to Imagine that his outcry In reply
to General Hlllet was a. piece of theatricals.
Major Gallopln's evidence left a decided ! }
unfavorable Impression , despite the plausi
bility of the expUnatlon given by Dreyfua.

to a public declaration of his feelings that

Two hours of the opening of the court-
martial wore spent behind closed diors.
The length of time employed In the ex
amination of Kugenc do Cernuschl. the A\is-
trlun refugee , and wltness or the prosecu
tion. was the subject of much icmark , as
being Indicative of the fact that the court
found this witness to be worthy 'of more
onsldeiatlnn than It had boon supposed that
ho deserved
The exciting episode of the morning's
( sitting was a scene In which SI. Laborl.
General Billet , Colonel Jouaust and Captain
Dreyfus participated. Things bad pro
gressed quietly and eyen monotonously up
to that time. "La Dame Blanche , " with
her famous pearls In her eais and round
her nock , kept whlsporlng to her companion.
Others , who from the first had taken the
keenest Interest In every word In the court ,
ficcmcd bored and the Intense heat in thr
room sent several to sleep Suddenly , when
General Billet In low , even tones again
brought out what many declared Is the gen
eral's last card , namely , the complicity of
Dreyfus and Kbterhazy , there was a remark -
nblo change of scene.
M. Laborl , In terrible excitement and
waving his arms , protested In a ringing
voice. Dreyfus , who had been sitting like
n .statue , also jumped to his feet , despite
the restraining hand that a gendarme placed
upon hla shoulder , and with his face llam-
tng with passion said , addressing Colonel
Jouausl :
"I protest , Colonel ; I protest ugalust this

The largest audience > et assembled In the
I/yceo was present when the open session
of the court-martial began at S-30 o'clock.
Senator Trailcux , former minuter of justice ,
at once resumed his deposition , which had
been Interrupted by the adjournment of the
court yesterday M Trarleux took up the
testimony of Savlgnaud , the witness for the
prosecution , who had asserted that he had

seen letters addressed to M. Schcurcr-Kcst-
ncr , formerly a vice president , of the senate ,
by Lieutenant Colonel I'lcqunrt , while
Savlgnaud waa Plcquart's orderly In Tunis.
.M. Trarleux declared that Savlgnaud was
n perjurer and that two officers visited
Savlgnaud before the court-martial opened ,
M. Trarleux hinting that the officers had
drilled Savlgnaud on the testimony ho should
give.
Savlgnaud replied , reiterating the truth of
his previous testimony.
Lieutenant Colonel Plcquart then arose
and repeated his denial of Savlgnaud's
story.
M. Trarleux delivered his testimony In an
emphatic tone. He reviewed the question
of the potlt bleu , which , he- said , ho was
convinced was authentic. ' He proceeded tn
comment upon the questionable role played
by Commandant Lauth In the affair.
Commandant Lauth Interrupted the wit
ness , asking that he be allowed a hearing ,
nnd on the conclusion of M. Trnrloux's
deposition Commandant Lauth confronted
him.
him.The commandant declared that he had
acted honestly throughout and that ho had
not the least doubt of Lieutenant Colonel
Plcnuart'-s falsification of the petit bleu In
order to Incriminate Major nsterhazy.
A striking Incident occurred when Com
mandant Lauth , a moment later , asserted
that Lieutenant Colonel I'lcqunrt had always
shown the greatest contempt for the officers
of his bureau , asserting that on ono oc-
caslon Plcquart had brought to tbo general
staff , In the presence of Meadamos Henry
and Lauth , n woman , Mme. D , who was ths
wife of n magistrate , and , Lauth Intimated ,
Plcquart s mistress.
Lieutenant Plcquart arose and cried :
"I protest absolutely. " . .
lloolH for t'oiiiiiiimdiiui Lnutli.
At the same time there arose from the
spectators n chorus of Indignant cries ot
"Cnnallle ; " "Cochon" and "MisTable. " The
gendarmes were ordered to suppress the out
bursts of Indignation which had been evoked
by the conduct of Commandant Lautb In
publicly naming a woman in a scandalous
connection. , , ir ,
General Zurllnden , formerly1" minister of
war , followed Commandant Lauth flt tlfo wit
ness bar. General Zurllnden spoke In'justi
fication of ills action while he was military
governor ot Paris and minister of war In
the matter of the prosecution of Lieutenant
Colonel Plcquart , taking the gtouud that the
measure was absolutely necessary In order
that the court should clear up the charge of
forgery brought against Plcquart. Moreover ,
General Zurllnden eald the minister of
justice had persuaded him to send Lieu
tenant Colonel Plcquart before a military
court.
M. Trarleux replied to General Zurllfadcn ,
reproaching him with Lieutenant Colonel
Plcquart's tea months In prisbn.
M. Laborl then asked a question of Gen
eral Zurllnden regarding the petit bleu.
Colonel Jouaust , president of the court-
martial , refused to put the question on the
ground that the court was engaged * ln the
trial of Dreyfus and not ot the I'lcquatt
affair.
(
1 M. Laborl , however , Insisted , taking the
I ground that the petit bleu demonstrated
the guilt ot Major JJsterhazy , and that con
sequently it waa very Important Tor

M. Laborl then tackled General Zurllnden ,
I who admitted that the magisterial inquiry
showed that the petit bleu was npt-tain-

Plcquart could not have Been gUllty , ns
alleged , of distorting the document.
M. Labor ! naked that M. Paleologue , the
expert of the foreign olFlco , bu consulted
with reference to the reading before the
court of diplomatic documents which estab-
libhed Irrefutably the authenticity of the
petit bleu. M. Pnleologuo , who situ behind
the Judges , cnmo to the front of the stage
and said that he did not Know to whnt doc
uments M Labor ! alluded.
I.nhorl hc-orc-n n 1'olnt.
"The document , " replied M. Labor ) , "In
which la recounted a conversation between
M. DelcasBo ( former prime minister ) and
Count von Munstor-Ledenburg ( German
minister to Paris ) , In the course of which
Count von Munstor-Ledenburg said Colonel
SchwurUkoppen had admitted that bo sent
Major Esterhazy a number of telegraphic
cards or petit bleus , "
M. Paleologuo responded that what M.
Lnboil bald was qultw true and that the
document belonged to the diplomatic din
gier. As to the petit bleu In question ,
added M , Paleologuu , Colonel Scbwartzkop-
peu could atllrin whether ho wroteIt him
self or whether he had not seen Itbut , , In
any case , M. Paloologuo said ho believed It
was sent by Colonel Schwartzkoppen.
This declaration by the export of the
foreign office created a marked sensation iu
court.
M. Trarleux again entered upon a long
statement , In the course of which he Bald
Major Daterlmzy waa acquitted , not judged.
General lllllot now confronted M. Trarioux
In reply to the Litter's criticism of him.
General Billet was much affected and spoke
In n husky voice. He began by declaring
i that M. Trarleux had delivered an eloquent
! oration , but that It was apodal pleading for
Dreyfus and Plcquart and an arraignment
I of foimor ministers. General Billet praised
Lloutennpt Colonel Plcquart for bis services
In the army and declared that he had bad
tbo greatest confidence In him a confidence
which , however , ho had filnca been com
pelled to withdraw. Then , discussing Pic-
quart's Investigation ot the suspicions
against Major Esterhary , General Billet
< > ald : "Evtn If Esterhazy should be proved
a traitor , that would not prove Dreyfus
Innocent , tor In cases of espionage' It very
often occurs that there , are several accom
plices. "
M. Laborl wished to question General nil-
lot , and an altercation with Colonel Jouaust
ensued , Finally M. Laborl cried : "Allow
me to remark , Mr. President , that It has
never been said that Dreyfus had an ac-
ccmpllco In Esterhazy. "
Drejfun intern n 1'rotvnt.
Captain Dreyfus , who heard General nil-
lot's statement with evident excitement ,
alto sprang to hla teet and ebouted : "I
protest against this ndloua accusation. "
M. Laborl again Insisted that ho bo al
lowed to question General Billot. Colonel
Jouaust refused , and a heated wrangle once
moro ensued.
M , Labor ! made n passionate protest
against the nttltudo of Colonel Jouaust , who
then nald : "I decline to allow > ou to
speak. "
M. Lnborl retorted excitedly : "I bow to
your ruling , but I take note that every
tlaio I put a question which Is Irresistible
you refuse to allow It. "
This declaration counsel for defense de
livered In a ringing voice , punctuating his
utterance with striking gestures. The audi
ence btiist into loud applause and the great
est excitement prevailed.
Colonel Jouaust said : "If this demonstra
tion la renewed I will have the court room
cleared. Have you anything more to say ,
M. Labor ! 7"
M. Laborl replied : "No , because nnd I
epcak with the utmost respect I am prevented -
vented from putting any questions touching
the core of the nffiilr. I reserve the right to
take such action ns regard for my responsi
bility compels mo to take up. "
| Thlrt Bteno was the climax of the strained
; relations which have prevailed between the
president of the court-martial , Colonel Jou
aust , and M. Laborl. principal counsel for
the accused , almost from the very outset
of the trial. M. Lnborl has mnny times
bitterly complained that Colonel Jounust
prevented hlnl from putting probing ques
tions nnd for the moment M. Lnborl ab
stained from asklns witnesses such ques
tions , fearing that by BO doing ho might do
moro harm than good to his client. In view
of the manifest Irritation displayed by the
prseldonr of the court whenever M. Lnborl
has risen to his feet in the last few days ,
however the advocate resumed his former
aggressive cmss-cxamlnatlon methods , re
sulting In today's crisis.
I.nliorl Smother * III * Itimr.
M. Laborl was extremely excited and
hnrdly able to contain himself with Indig
nation and , when afterward nskcd If ho
had nny questions to put to other witnesses ,
ho replied pertly : "No : nothing nt nil. "
Mnjor Gnllopln , nn officer of the artillery ,
was then examined. Ho proved a rather
unfavorable witness for Dreyfus , whom ho
declared ho once met on the Boulevard St.
Germain carrying a vohwnlnous package ,
which ho said contained secret papers treatIng -
Ing of mobilization and which ho was carryIng -
Ing to the geographical bureau.
Dreyfus was questioned regarding this
statement by Major Gallopln and admitted
, that he sometimes took documents home to
, facilitate work , but he said he did not re
call the particular Incident to which Major
Gnllopln referred. This admission by Drey
fus made a bad Impression , especially when
! the next witness , Major Hlrsch-Anel , de
posed that he hoard Dreyfus express a desire
to go to the maneuvers. Major Hlrsch-
Anel , however , could not remember the ex
act date.
Captain Dreyfus replied : "It Is very
pooslble that I expressed regrets that I
would be unabfe to go to the maneuvers ;
and what Is certain , wo arl know that
none of the probationers would go. "
Lieutenant Colonel Picquart was called
to the wltnew stand and said that Drc > fus
never applied to him for leave to go to the
maneuvers , adding that he was surprised
no Inquiry hod beeu made upon this point
to the chief of Dreyfus' bureau.
Colonel Jouaust then road a letter trora
the colonel of the Thirteenth regiment of
Infantry , dated last Saturday , recalling the
date of the report on Madagascar , which
had enabled him to fix the date of the bor
dereau aa August 1 , 1894. This report , ho
added , was drawn up In the third bureau of
the general staff and consequently nn Indiscretion -

The deposition of Lieutenant Colonel Du 11 ,

olared they had little faith In the rcqult of

In bis deposition Lieutenant Colonel du
Paty de Clam complains of calumnies ot
which be has been the victim and which Cap
tain Culgnet had not succeeded In proving ,
declaring further that be bad no relations
with the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry , but
admitting relations with Major Esterhazy.
Da Clam afllrms that In communicating the
secret-dossier to the court-martial of 1894 he
acted purely as a messenger and knows noth
ing more. Ho says Dreyfus always pro
claimed bis Innocence.
SOIMIIIn tlit1 Court Iloom ,
The deposition ended with copies of letters
from Madame Drcyfuo establishing the fact
that Lieutenant Colonel Paty do Clam's re
lations witb her wcro always courteous. The
court-martial adjourned for the day on the
conclusion of the reading of Colonel du Paty
do Clam's deposition. As the people wcro
leaving the hall Colonel Plcquart's brother-
in-law , M. Cast , rushed at Commandant
LautU and tried to strike him for having In
troduced the subject of Plcquart's mistress
In bis testimony today. Gendarmes Inter
vened and persuaded M. Goat to leave the
precincts of the court.
Tlio following is a detailed report of the
proceedings :
The secret examination of M. Eugene de
Cernuschl , the Austrian refugee and wlt-
ncu3 for the prosecution , occupied the time
of tbo court-martial from the hour of Its
convening at 0:30 : a , in. until 8:30 : o'clock.
I The public sitting of the court opened
nt 8:45 : a , m. with a brief exchange of un
important remarks between M. Demange
and General Hoget. Senator Trarleux ,
formerly minister of justice , was then re
called to the witness stand. After a desul
tory discussion of tbo character of Colonel
Plcquart's former orderly , Savlgnaud , who
bad testified for tbo prosecution , which
semed to show that Savlgnaud had moro or
less maligned his former master , M.
Laborl questioned M. Trarieux with regard
to the petit bleu.
M , Trarleux replied that ho bad examined
the potlt bleu which had been the cause ot
the accusation against Lieutenant Colonel
Plcquart If the witness had not known In
, the firm place that the genuine document
i bad been falsified ha would not have re-
' celved Plcquart at his house the day the
latter was to bo arrested.
Trnrleux Ieft-ml l'l < 'iiinrt.
M Trarleux vehemently defended Plc
quart against the charge of tampering with
the potlt blo-i , fio'original genuineness of
j which waa proven by the very us to which
Plcquart bad put It when he submitted to
his superiors the scheme ot decoy letters
which he proposed to send to Major Ester-
hazy , In which was to be Introduced the
exact wording of the petit breu ,
Plcquart , therefore , was n man of un-
tarnlshe'd honor when be waa prosecuted
for forgery When the witness Investigated
' the real motives of the prosecution ho
i learned that Plcquart waa accused of tnak-
I Ing erasures In the petit bleu. All the
] evidence showed that Plcquart waa not con
nected with the erasures , which thua con-
Btltuted a new forgery and a new device to
equelch Plcquart.
"I cannot believe , " ndded the ex-mlnlstor
of justice , warmly , "that the number of
persons who perpetrated these torgerles was
very great. Wo have discovered one source
from which emanated other forgeries. I
have not far to go to seek It. "
M. Trarlcui's remarks brought Command
ant Lautb to his feet. The commandant
declared that be took no exception to Pic-
quart's Instructions to look for traces of
the tearing of the petit bleu , but that when
he saw the use Plcquart wished to make of
the petit bleu ho opposed the project , Lauth
proceeded to accuse Plcquart of the most
profound contempt for the officers ot bla
department and their home life. The day of
the czar's entry into Paris , Commandant
Lauth otserted , Plcquart introduced to the
wltncee a * Mme , Henry a wymau unfit to
bo In tl'clr society , and whom they bad
since discovered to bo the wife ot a magistrate
istrate/
Lieutenant Colonel Plcquart sprang to hla
feet nnd vigorously protested ngnlnst the
monstrous allegation ,
( leuernl Zurllnden followed. Ho explained
that bo deposed both In the capacity of mil
itary governor ot Paris and minister ot
war. Ho had played a meet prominent part
In the ] Du Pnty do Clnm , Plcquart nnd Ks-
terhnzy cases. Yhe proceedings In the cnso
ot Mnjoi1 Du Paty do Clam had caused him
great anxiety The witness wished for
more light with regard to thn ground upon
which the revision of the trlnl of Cnptnln
Dreyfus was demanded and the charges
emanating from other officers of the gen
eral staff against Lieutenant Colonel Plc
quart. Ho thought It absolutely necessary
that the charge of forgery ngntnst Pic-
qunrt should bo cleared up by the court.
Lieutenant ColonelPlcquart was then In
Iho custody of the cWll authorities , but the
minister ot justice drove the witness to
have him arraigned before n court-martial ,
not for making nn erasure In n document ,
which waa Inslgnlflcnnt. but for forgery.
Illume Lnlil Uion.iirHnilen. | .
M. Trarleux broke upon the deposition of
General Zurllnden to reproach the witness
with being responsible for ten months'
groundless Imprisonment of Plcquart nnd
| an unwarranted prosecution , resulting In
the dlsmlwml of the charges.
After further explanations by General
Zurllnden , M. L borl asked permission to
speak.
Colonel Jouaust Is H with regard to th.5
evidence ot M Trnrleux ?
M , Laborl It IB with reference to the
erasure of the petit bleu.
Colonel Jouaus't ( Sharply In that case ,

quart case. . '
General Zurllnden had nskert that the
inlnldtcr of Justice make n preliminary In
quiry Into the origin-of the petit bleu , to
which the nilnister replied that Lieutenant
Coro.iel PlcquartT'was In the foreign service
nt the time the erasure from the docu
ment wns mnde and that the proposed In
quiry waa bejond the scope of the com
mon law unless n civilian participated In
j the suspicious proceedings.
| M. Lnborl pointed out that , contrary to
i General Zurllndcn's Intimation , the erasure
seemed oven then to have assumed con
siderable Importance in hlo mind.
General Zurllnden replied"It was my
self who discovered'the erasure. I first
thought It attributable to nn attempt to
remove n blot , nnd , therefore , It did not
possess In my mind the importance which
others attached to it.
M. Laborl Wns tlio erasure 3Ubsequent
to the first photogrnph ?
General Zurllnden , amid Intense excite
ment , ndmltted that the Tavernler Inquiry
showed that the petit bleu hod not been
ecratched when It , reached the statistical
section ot the Intelligence department , and
that consequentry the erasure wns not the
work of Lieutenant Colonel Plcqunrt.
Ceriniiii TelcKriniiK to Kntcrlinr- .
M. Laborl asked M. Pnleologuc's permis
sion to read a document belonging to the
diplomatic dossier , conclusively proving , ns
he claimed , the genuineness ot the petit bleu.
M. Paleologue I do not know the docu
ment referred to.
M. Laborl The document relates to a
conversation between Delcasse ( former
prime minister ) 'and Count Von Munster-
Ledenburg ( German ambassador to Paris ) ,
In which the ambassador is represented to
have sold that Colonel Schwartzkoppen ad
mitted he had sent Slajor Esterhazy a num
ber of telegraph forms.
M. Paleologue I can only confirm M.
Labori's statement. There is in a diplo
matic dossier aaidoc'ument reciting a eon-
' v rsation between ' , , y. , Dclcassa and. Count
, Voh Munster L'edonborg , who stated ' that
Golpnpl. Scli art Jjojjpen sent Major Ester-
hazy a number ofpetit bleus ( telegrams ) .
As regards the-potit bleu In this case Colonel
nel SchwdrtikoppeTl could : aol cay he had
written sit himself , because1 he had not seen
it , but the ambassador said he''belleycd that
It had been sent "by him ( Colonel Schwartz
koppen ) .
Replying to M. Laborl , M. Trarieux dwelt
at length upon the "charges , which he de
scribed as fairy talcs , against Plcquart , who
had beeu alleged to be an agent In the pay
of the Dreyfus family and whose object , as
asserted , was to put Esterhazy , an Innocent
man , in the ' place of Dreyfus , the culprit.
M. Trarleux'read a letter which he wrote to
General Billet June 1 , 18DS , protesting
ngalnst these falsehoods. To thla letter
General Billet had replied that he had not

Colonel Jouaust protested against the ve
hement language of the witness , who , ho
said , could not maintain the etatemeiits af
fecting judges.
' "You are no longer giving evidence , "
added the president of the court , "you are
delivering a speech for the defense , You
have assumed the role of counsel for the

M. Labor ! Wo have no complaint , Mr.
President.
M. Trarleux -regret that this remark
should bo made to me In such terms when
I was merely replying to questions.
General Billet at this Juncture arose and
strode rapidly to the platform. Speaking
with suppressed excitement he said he re
gretted be had not hoard the first part of M.

, greatest care all questions affecting the
Bfavo Dreyfus case. Ho had defended with ,
all his frrce the Chose Jugeo which had been !
cntrustfd to him. Ho protested against the
1 course pursued by M. Trarleur.
I Hcplylng to M. Laborl , General Hlllot nc-
copied entire responsibility for the receipt
! given to Major nsterhazy for the "document
I llborntcur" by the chief of the cabinet , and
, expressed the opinion that even proof of
! I'sterhazy's guilt would not acquit Dreyfus |
. as often several culprits wcro mixed up In j
espionage. "
Iiiiltorl'N Slinrit Tilt AT Mil JotintiM.
M , Laborl That gee without saying. But
excuse me , Mr. President ; It has never been
said ( bat Dreyfus had nn accomplice tn Es-
torhazy. Wo must know If the prosecution
or accusation Is approaching that theory.
At this Juncture the prisoner startled the
court by ohoutlng , in ringing tones : "I protest -
test ngaltst such nn odious accusation. "
Colonel Jounust I mutt ask you , M. Ln
borl , to observe moro moderation.
M Labjri I never uttered nn Immoderate
word.
Colonel Jouaust Your tone Is Improper.
M. Laborl I am not altogether master of
my tone.
Colonel Jouaust Unlcos you can control
your tone I forbid you to speak.
M. Laborl I must submit to your ruling ,
but I nolo th * fact that I nm forbidden to
speak every tlmo I enter upon groiind where
my position Is Irresistible.
This retort by counsel for the defense
aroused Immenoo excitement In the court
room. Cheers broke out , drowning the
murmurs of the generals and their sup
porters.
Colonel Jouauet , after quiet had been re
stored , remarked that If the demonstrations
were renewed the court room would bo
cleared. The president of the court-mar
tial then asked M. Laborl If ho had any
questions to put.
SI Laborl I * nenU respectfully , but
since it la Impossible for mo to approach
those questions which are the very tore of
the trial , I reserve the right to adopt such
line of action as my responsibility nnd the
rights of the defense compel mo to take.
Colonel Jouaust ( sharply ) Sit down.
M. Laborl I resume my seat , but not by
order
Colonel Jouaust Call the witness Gil-
lopln.
Major Gallopln of the artillery deposed
that Dreyfus never asked him for Informa
tion. Ho only met Dreyfus carrying a package -
ago and asked him what it contained.
Dreyfus replied that the package contained
secret papers relating to mobilization ,
"which , " he added , "I nm taking to the
geographical department to be destroyed as
soon as printed. "
Colonel Jouaust ( to the prisoner ) Did
you take these papers home ?
The prisoner I do not think eo.
Colonel Jouaust Where did } ou meet
DreytuaV
Major Galfopln On the boulevard St.
Germain Ho was going to the Avenue de
1'Alma. whore he was staying.
Captain Dreyfus There must bo some con
fusion. It was perhaps transfer papers.
Colonel Jouaust Did you soy you were
taking the papers home ?
Captain Dreyfus I did not remember.
Major Hlrsch-Auer of the onglncers de
posed tht la ISa'l he heard Dreyfps express
liiQ des'lfe , wbjch was very legitimate , to
attend the maneuvers. The witness minutely
detailed circumstances which made him pos
itive Dreyfus proposed to attend the man
euvers , but , curiously , the major had for
gotten the dates.
j llroytus .VIiUn Correction.
' Captain Dreyfus corrected Major Llrsch-
Aur on several points and added : "It la
possible I expressed regret that 1 could not
attend the maneuvers , but what is certain
is that we all knew I should not be present. "
Major Llrsch-Aur suggcwted that Colonel
Plcquart might confirm his ( witness1) ) state
ment that Plcquart declared that Dreyfus
never arked to be allowed to attend the
maneuvers.
After the Introduction of a letter purportIng -
Ing to fix the date of the bordereau as
August 6 , 1894 , the evidence of Lieutenant
Colonel Du Paty do Clam , which was taken
on commission by Magistrate Tavernler. was
read. In his deposition Du Paty de Clam
began by replying to attacks against him
OBa soldier nnd a citizen. He complained
that slanderous statements unsupported by
1 proof had been made regarding him. The
witness laid stress upon the fact that the
charges against him bad been dismissed ami
expressed the opinion that the sole object
of his slanderers was to Impugn the Judges
who condemned Dreyfus In 1894. He denied
that he ever had relations with the late
Lieutenant Colonel Henry , or that ho was
concerned with the publication ot articles
In tbo Eclair or with furnishing Enterbazy
with the "document llberatcur. "
The witness admitted that ho had relations
with Major Estorhazy and repeated the ex
planations with reference thereto which ho
gave before the court of cassation. With
regard to tbo Dreyfus case , the witness de
clared that ho woo not connected with the
discovery of the bordereau. It woe only on
pressure , the deposition continued , that the
witness accepted tbo task of Investigating
the charges In this caso. After detailing the
course of this Investigation Du Paty de
Clam said that the order for the arrest of
Captain Dreyfus had been Issued quite In
dependent of the dictation teat. Witness
then described the famous dictation uceuc ,
in the courwo of which he said Dreyfus displayed
'
played nn emotion regarding the'cause of
which there might be differences of opinion ,
but the fact , witness asserted , wns undeniable
that M , Cocbefort , the chief detective ot the
department , who was present , regarded the
prisoner's agitation as an Indication of bin
guilt. Dreyfus manifested hU excitement-
by nervous movements of the Jaw and com
plained that his flngeru weru cold.
Deri-mix iiiniHi-ir. .
Du Paty de Clam defended himself against
the charge of being a'torturer of Dreyfus
and bis family. Ho eald ho had been en
trusted with the transmission of the pris
oner's letters to hU wife and that ho had
always treated Mme. Dreyfus with the
greatest consideration ,
With regard to the date of the border
eau , Du Paty do Clam expressed the opln- 1
Ion that It muat have been written between
the 15th and 16th of August , 1894. The
witness denied all statements attributed to
him with regard to the Incorrect versions '
of the Panlzzardl telegram. Colonel Du
Paty de Clam referred to the preparation
by himself and Colonel Sandherr of a secret
commentary intended to enow who was the
traitor among the officers at the head
quarters of the general staff , who must be
a Captain D .
The witness further asserted that In the
communication of secret documents to the
court-martial of 1691 be acted solely aa a
I transmitting agent. Itegardlug tbo Inter
views with Dreyfus , Du Paty de Clam de
clared that he never ead | to Dreyfua : "Tbo
minister knows you arc Innocent , " The
minister ot war never spoke of delivering
documents in order to obtain others. What
Dreyfus eald was : "No , no , major ; I do
not wish to plead extenuating circum
stances. My counsel boa promised me that
In three , five or six years my Innocence
will be admitted"
Later on Dreyfus eald "Major , I know
your belief. I have not opposed It , I
know you are an bonett man , bjt I as-
sure jou jou buve mdo a mistake. Seek
whrxt jou call my accomplices , and what
I calf the culprits , and you will nnd them. "
The deposition of Du Paty do Clam
made no reference to cases connootod with
that of Drcvfus. The deponent swore that
everything contained In his statement wa.i
true. The deposition concluded with copies
of letters from Mme. Dreyfus , showing
that his relations with her had been alwa > < i
of the most courteous character. The court
adjourned for the day at 11 .SO o'clock.

although ho was vice consul under rn .
Our laws do not allow a foreigner to act
as consul in foreign lands. He must bo a
naturalized citizen qf the United States , at
least , 'which Floorschultz was not. Also
Bonthelm makes another error when he
states documents wore received In the regu

the usual "Offlcla.l business only" printed en
them , as such' envelopes are not transmis

ATLANTA , Ga. , Sept. 6. Charles E. Ben- '
thelm today reiterated to a correspondent of ,
the Associated Press the absolute truth of ,
his statement Involving Vlco Consul Klor- |
schuetz In the German secret service work i
between Berlin and Paris. "Of course , '
Klorsehuotz will deny this , " said Ilcnthclm.
"but It can t > eacllv fa lnp l < l iln"n him
The point In the Investigation really Is this :
To Inquire Into the right direction. There
Is no use going to Klorachuctz about this
thing. Ho will naturally deny It and the
rage of the Germans will turn on us. If
Florschuetz denies bis connection with thla
matter , let this question be put to him ,
'For what purpose did Florschtietr hand
over to me ( Benthclm ) a money order calling
for 1,600 marks , elgncd by the emperor ? '
"I say again : Florschuetz was using hla
ofllclal position ns vtco and deputy consul to
aid Iho German secret service In obtaining
Information from France. Ho placed his
scrvlcea at the disposal of the German secret
service and between the years 1S90 and 1S94
ho was actually engaged as confidential
agent of the secret service. Let the secre
tary of state request the American ambas
sador In London to get permission from the
commissioner general of postodlces In London
and go to the village of Holmroe and ex
amine the records there which are not de
stroyed. Evidence there In black and whlto
will show the truth of every assertion I
have made. "
Uenthelm was pressed further for his
recollection of the disappearance of the doc
uments from the French War office ns they
reached him.
"I can recall many of them , " ho said.

clear. This was used for comments on the
matter In the report. For Instance , such
notes as 'could not get models. ' In n case
whore the information was not complete this
paper would be taken by Slgl , the Gorman
ofllclal , who would write In this border :
' 1,000 , 6,000 , 10,000. ' This meant marks
( money ) and was to be used In procuring
further detail. This showed what the Ger

1,000 nnd 6,000 would bo marked off. "
