If the authorities will permit il, John
Moshik. who is to be hanged in Mime

hypnotized as he stands on the gall
lows. DIR. Edward II. Haas, skillful
hypnotist of St Paul, is anxious to try
the experiment
Acting upon the suggestion that he

may drop through the trap as rigid as
any of the hypnotized subjects so often
exhibited with head upon one chair
and feet upon another. Thus the me-
tallic muscles of his neck may prevent
the rope from COMPRISING his wind
pipe and from causing him to strangle.
The same muscular resistance may
keep the shock of his fall from wrench
ing apart the verte bra of his upper
spinal column. Or. if he really does
die, his death may be spiritually Sc
rene.
The execution of Moshik will take

CROWDS HISS lola.
Col. Picquart's Testimony duplicates
Mai. Esterhazy.


Paris. Feb. 12.-There were the usual
crowds about the assizes court of the
Seine Friday when the fifth day of the
trial of NM Zola and Perreux COM
menced. NJ Zola and Col. Picquart
were greeted with Kisses and hostile
cries on their arrival. Gen. Pellieux
concluded his testimony. On Gen. Pei
lieux leaving the stand NJ. lola rose and
exclaimed: There are several ways of
your campaigns; but will bequeath TO
pcsterity the name of Emile lola, and
posterity viii be my judge"
Col. Picquart was then calledand mar
rated how he had acquired fragments
of telegraphic card in 1896. and con-
cluded therefrom that Maj. Esterhazy
was corresponding with suspicious
characters. He procured some of Maj.
Esterhazy's handwriting. which, COM
pared with certain documents, led to
the conclusion that Maj. Esterhazy was
improperly using official papers.
Col. Picquart emphatically denied
Gen. Pellieux' statement of Thursday
that he had divulged an espionage af-
fair TO outsiders. He candidly admitted
sending an agent 10 Maj. Esterhazy's
apartments. but he pointed out that at
the time Maj. Esterhazy's fat was adj
vertised to let, and his agent only
brought him an unimportant Letter
which. however, served for a compari-
son of handwriting. The agent, how
ever, reported that a number of letters
had been burned in the fireplace.
The witness concluded with stat
ing that the intrigues of the officials of
which he had been the victim had been
aimed to prevent him from demonstrat-
ing the guilt of Maj. Esterhazy.
N. Laborie questioned Col. Picquart
regarding the secret document, and the
witness said: II knew of the existence
of the secret document, but only saw
it when Gen. Pellieux showed it to me"
The witness could not give any further
particulars on account of professional
secrecy"
Mai. Ravary was the next witness. NJ.
Laborie reproached him with improper
" conducting the Esterhazy inquiry, to
which the major replied: Military jus
tice is not conducted like yours" The
remark caused murmuring in the court,
which was then adjourned.
At the conclusion of his evidence Col.
Picquart met with an enthusiastic re-
ception from the public. There were
cries of "Vive Picquart!" and "Vive
larmee!" in which many of the law
yers joined. The higher military Off
GERS were visibly annoyed at the effect
of Col. Picquart's testimony. Col.
Picquart was the best witness for NJ.
Zola thus far heard. His evidence was
very damaging to his superior officers
and favorable to Dreyfus, and it also
showed him TO have been the victim of
prosecutions since he began his endeav-
or to probe the truth.
The mob outside the court gave a
conflicting reception to Col. Picquart.
There was a tremendous tumult and a
few "boos' for NJ Zola, but there was
no serious incident. NJ. Zola's carriage
on leaving the Palais de Justice was fol-
lowed by knot of people, shouting:
''Death to Zola," who could be heard
through the carriage windows exclaim-
ing: The cowards!"
