Ills Declaration in Court Deeply Inn
presses the Judges and Officers.
Paris, Sept H.-The air tonight is full
of rumors of sensational developments.
Among other things, 1t was announced
that Col. Picquart was already in the
Cherche Midi prison.
1t appears, however, that the authorities
Of the LaSante prison refused to deliver
him up in the absence OF the necessary
formalities, but there is no doubt that he
will be in the Cherche Midi prison to-mor-
row.
The Dreyfusites are somewhat despond-
ent, the military authorities who were
responsible for the shelving of the Pic
quart trial having apparently regained
the upper hand, and 1t is feared that Col
Picquart will be kept In prison and his
trial indefinitely postponed, in order to
keep his mouth shut.
Never before was such a scene Witness
ed in court as that which followed his
declaration to-day regarding his possible
