THE lola TRIAL.

The second days proceedings In the lola
trial have curiously contradicted those of the
first On Monday, It will be remembered va
rlCus important witnesses refused to testify,
and It seemed probable that the Court would
uphold them In their refusal. Yesterday. how
ever. the presiding Judge decided that they
should be resummoned and compelled TO ap-
pear; and where illness was alleged rs the cX-
cuse for ron-appearance medical investigation
should be made. That is, on the face of 1t, n
gain for NJ. lola and for justice. Yet wise
John Haywood well reminds us that n man
may bring n horse to the water, but he cannot
make him drink We shall see what testimony
Maitre Iaborie extracts from unwilling and
hostile witnesses.
On the other hand, the Court appears to have
executed right-about face on the subject OF
the scope Of the inquiry. The manifest dispo-
sition was on Monday to let NJ. lola call wit
nesses and elicit testimony on other points
than those In the Indictment but yesterday 1t
was decided that no questions foreign TO the
Indictment could be put On the face of it that
decision is reasonable and just. Yet in the pc
culiar circumstances Of this trial it is calcu-
!eted to defeat the ends Of justice. For the In
dctment carefully avoids mentioning what Is
really the root of the whole matter 1t Ignores
NJ Zola's most serious charges, and deals with
only few minor points. What NJ. Zola wants
is a chance to prove that Captain Dreyfus was
unjustly condemned, as the result Of criminal
conspiracy: and that apparently the Govern.
me- Mt does not mean to let him have.
This is to be deeply regretted. 1t is grossly
illogical. The Dreyfus case must not be con-
sidered, says tn, Government because 1t is
closed. 1t is res adjudicata; the inquiry must be
confined TO the Esterhazy case But the latter
is, as a matter Of fact just as truly closed, just
as much res adjudicata, as the former. If the
che can be reopened or made the subject Of in
vestigation. why not the other? The desire OF
the French Government to avoid the revelation
and exploitation Of scandal that might smrch
great regulations is easily understood and ap-
preciated. But far more to be avoided Is even
the appearance Of injustice or tire slightest sus-
picion that the Government Is privy to injustice.
1t is not yet to be believed that the Govern
ment is guilty Of the hdeous crime Of which NJ.
Zola has accused some Of its fore most officers.
But the only sure way to vihdicate its inno-
cence and to establish full confidence in its jus.
tice is to let in full daylight upon the whole
Dleyfus case.
