significant when coupled with the fact
that his action is due to his desire to

Made n Confession.

He had confessed that he forged one
of the letters upon which Drcyfus was
convicted. The letter purported to
reveal secrets of the French govern.
ment, and Dreyfus was accused of be-
ing in the pay of Germany. Henry adj
mitted to the minister of war that his
testimony in the Zola-Dreyfus trials
was false. His confession was so com
plete that it virtually upsets the en-
tire case against Dreyfus, and the gov
eminent has virtually promised new
trial. Henry's only attempt to Justify
his conduct was the statement that he
thought the honor of the French army
required the conviction of Dreyfus.
The scene of Lieut.. Col. Henry's
avowal was most painful. When he
saw it was almost useless to deny fur
Their. his tongue grew too thick for his
mouth, and he was unable 10 speak. 1t
was feared that he would have an APP

was permitted to visit his wife while
