CIemenceau Springs Sensations I'm
the ZOIa Trial.
Paris, Feb. 15-The arrival of M. Zola.
NJ. Perreux and others at the court of the
Seine to-day was not marked by any incl
dent
The presiding judge to-day disallowed
the request of counsel for M. zola that the
experts heard at the Esterhazy court mar
tial should be called to testify.
Gen. Gonz reappeared on the witness
stand and protested against the assertion
made by M. Juares, the Socialist deputy,
on Saturday last that the general staff had
refused to enlighten on the Dreyfus af-
fair.
NJ. Crepieux Janin, handwriting expert,
strenuously denied that he had attempted
to bribe NJ. Teissonieres to modify his re-
ports of the Dreyfus Bordereau.
NJ. Teissonieres, NJ. Janin, said had de-
clared it was on his report alone and not
on NJ. Bertillon's, on which Dreyfus was
convicted. This statement caused a sem
sation NJ Janin added that it was be-
cause nj. Teissonieres was angry for the
witness for not sharing his opinion in re-
gard to the Dreyfus case that he tried
to compromise the matter.
M. Clemenceau, counsel for the Aurore
read letters from Nine de Boulancy, ad-
hitting the possession of letters which
Mai Esterhazy wrote her between 1881
and 1894, and containing serious inadVer-
sions of France and the French army
NJ Clemenceau urged the court to ap-
point a magistrate to ask Mime de Boulan-
cy If among the letters there was not one
containing the following expression:
Firstly, Gen. Saussier (then the comman-
der-in-chef of the French army and mill
Of Sc oil T,
our country the Germans would not show
him in circus. CUproar in court)
Secondly, if the Prussians got as far as
Lyons they might throw away their guns
and keep only their riding whips TO drive
the French in front Of them" (Prolong-
ed sensation.)
Prof. Havert of the College of France,
said he examined as an expert the Bor-
dereau and the letters of Maj. Esterhazy
and Dreyfus, as well as a letter written
by Dreyfus since his condemnation The
letter, the witness continued, was devoid
of resemblance to the Borderau, of which
he was convinced Maj. Esterhazy was the
author.
The court then adjourned
The crowd made no demonstration.
The excitement caused by the trial has
greatly abated, but the real interest is
absorbing and grows daily.
count ESternazy VIII De examined to-
morrow.
NJ Millevoy9. speaking tonight at a
patriotic meeting at Suresnes, claimed TO
know that the secret document upon which
Dreyfus was condemned read thus: Let
them ask that Canaille Drayfus what he
has promised us.
(Signed.) GulIaiume -
NJ Millevoye added: ut is evident that
war might follow the publication of such
a document.
1t was rumored in the lobbies of the
court to-day that NM. Laborie and Glenn.
enceau were prolonging the examinations
OF the witnesses in order to extend the trial
in the hope that the question of a revision
of the Dreyfus trial will come before the
Chamber of Deputies, and the hope that
something will happen in their favor.
While the examination of the experts
has proved rather tiresome the fiimsiness
of their methods has turned favor toward
Zola, and the sulkiness of the advocate
general is a strong indication Of how mat.
ters are going.
At the cabinet council to-day the trial
OF M. Zola and the publisher of the Aurore
was under discussion.
