And Mas Continually TWitted For Not
 Answering Questions.
WITNESS WAS OFFERED A BRIBE
No Sensations During the Day and the Bulk of Testimony Was by Expert Witnesses on the Identity of the
 Bordereau.

Paris, Feb. H.-When the trial of M. Zola and NJ. Perreux was resumed today, M Jaures, the socialist member of the cham Der of deputies, was recalled. He reiterat- ed his belief in the culpability of Major Es- terhazy.
 The examination of M. Bertil1on, the handwriting expert, was then resumed. He said he thought it impossible to ask the minister of war for the discriminating doc- uments seized at the residence of Dreyfus in 1894, which, according to the testimony of the witness on Saturday last, would en- able him to prove that Dreyfus wrote the Bordereau. M. LaBoris, counsel for M. Zola, there- upon protested and twitted M. Bertillon with being unwilling to testify in court. while giving interviews to the newspapers.
 Interviews Were False
 M. Bertillon said the interviews were false. Being pressed by M. LaBorie to ex- plain how, unless he had seen the secret documents, he was able to prove at the courtmartial that Dreyfus wrote the Bor dereau, M. Bertillon answered that he could not explain without documents which were no longer in his possession. This state ment caused sensation in court, and M. LaRorie demanded that the advocate gen. eral compel the witness to reply.
 Finally M. Bertllon, who persisted in not answering questions, left the witness stand amidst considerable uproar, M LaBorie re- marking; And that is the man upon whose evidence Dreyfus was convicted" Dupuy Hubbard .deposed that his cousin, M. Bertillon, had always affirmed to him that Dreyfus was a cut-throat, that he had not seen the handwriting of Comte Esterhazy, who was a man of straw pill fered by the Jews, and that a revision of the Dreyfus trial would lead to social re- vusion
 M. Crepieux Janin, the handwriting ex- pert, has not yet testified.
 Parody on Justice
 M. Yves Guyot, the former minister of public works, testified that the Esterhazy court martial was a parody on justice" The further statement of M. Guyot that the inner circles of foreign governments were fully cognizant of all that occurred at the Esterhazy court martial, caused a renewed sensation.
 M. Guyot expressed the opinion that the government commissioner who prosecuted Mai Esterhazy was far more like counsel for defense than the prosecutor q am happy in the belief that all the best states men in France support M. zola," said M. Guyot.
 M Teissonnieros another handwriting expert, testified to identifying the hand writing of the Bordereau as that of M Dreyfus. He added that the fac simle had been bleared so to make it resemble Esterhazys.
 Offered a Bribe.
 Later the witness created a sensation by testifying that friends of Dreyfus had ap- preached him and had hinted that 1t might be worth 100000 to 200 900 francs if the moderated his views favorably to Dreyfus.
 M. Teissonieres introduced the name of Crapieux Janin, the handwriting expert when he insinuated that the friends of moc fn hriha t1a nrtc but under severe cross examination he ad- mitted that the only foundation for the insinuation was his personal impression and that no bribe had ever actually been offered to him.
 M. Treaux, former minister of justice threw such suspicion upon all the evidence given by M. Teissonnieres that the latter left the bar much discredited.
 M. Bertillon gave his absurd evidence while displaying a fantastic diagram, amid continuCyus shrieks of laughter. Af- ter fruitless efforts to obtain intellible testimony from this witness, M. LaBorie turned to the jury and said: "The whole case against Dreyfus stands before you They had him and the bordereau''
 Favorable to Zola
 Altogether the day was rather favorable for M Zola- It is rumored. that a report from Judge Bertutus who has been inquir- ing Into recent developments in the Drey- fus case, will be produced and read in court tomorrow, dealing with unpublished letters of Count Esterhazy. It is likely to cause a sensation.
 It appears that the juryman in the pres ent trial who retired on account of ill., ness was contractor, M. LaBlond, em- ployed by the Rothschilds, and his illness was caused by the threatening letters he received, a significant indication of the outside influences brought to bear upon the subject.
 Duel Results
 1r 1e T has challenged M. Jaures, the socialist leader, to duel owing to quarrel that has grown out of the Zola trial.
