tended that Major Esterhazy was per.
scouting Madame Boulancy in order
to prevent her from surrendering the
letters.
Counsel for the Aurore supported M.
LaBorie's request for the appearance
of Madame Boulancy, and urging the
court to obtain a verification of her
alleged ill-health.
Later on M. LaBorie insisted that
the dispositions be made before the ex-
aiming magistrate be read in court
This was opposed by the attorney gen.
eral on the ground that the examina-
ton was not concluded.
M. LaBorie then vehemently protested
against the absence of the subpoenaed
witnesses and referring to the non-ap-
pearance of Gen. MERCER. said: when
he was minister of war he submitted to
the judges of Dreyfus behind the back of
| the prisoner and his counsel, a secret
document, which. however. as he de-
calreG, was unimportant. If this docu-
ment. as he declared, was unmportant.
then the incident is ended and there is no
further need for General Mercier's testi-
| mony, but if. as alleged, the secret doc
ument did not exist, let General MERCER
come and tell the court SO and our side
will be we'll satisfied
This attempt to drag the former minis
ter of war into the witness stand caused
much commotion in court, which was in
creased when on several members of the
Dreyfus courtmartial refusing to testify,
NJ. Zola rose up in the dock and indig-
nantly cried: We must know if these
persons are acting under the orders of
the minister of war or of their own Volt
ton"
Gen Bosdeffre was then called and
claimed exemption on the ground Of pro-
! fessional secrecy whereupon M. LaBorie
shouted: Zone wquld really think all
these officers imagined they form a sep
arate caste. above all rights and that
| they are totally exempt from the laws
and the respect due to Justice
The court then ordered short adjourn
ment until 4:30 D. m in order to allow M.
| LaBorie TO draft his argument.
On the resumption of the hearing M.
LeBorie made a speech demanding that
| the witnesses be ordered to attend and
testify. Counsel for M. Zola deposited
with the court ,written applications re-
questing the court to order the sub
poenaed witnesses to appear.
The court postponed decision until to-
morrow, and the case adjourned.

1--WE know everything about the

describe the pressure to impose silence
upon the men who are able and ready
to reveal the truth. Our documentary
evidence is not even looked at and
our witnesses have refused to testify

THE TRUSTS
Undergoing an Investigation in Ohio
Some Standard Oil Methods Re-
Vealed

Cleveland, O., February 7. - The
State Senate Trust Investigating Com
mlttee convened here at the Forest
City House this afternoon to exam
Inc into the Standard Oil Company,
copperas and other trusts.
The Standard Oil people were all
absent from the city when the COM
mittee was in session last week and
subpoenaeS could not be served upon
them. 1t is understood to-day, how
ever, that the sheriff subsequently
succeeded in serving the papers upon
several officials of the company.
A number of witnesses were exam
ined, but little of value was learned
except as regards the oil trust John
Teagle, of the oil refining firm of Scho-
field, Shurmer & Teagle, which for
years has been fighting the Standard
Oil Company, proved an interesting
witness. He declared that the Stand
ard was constantly and Systematically
attempting to injure his firm. He said
the Standard agents endeavored to
ascertain where the statesmen of his
firm obtained orders for oil. The
agents would go to these intending
purchasers ard offer to cut the price
and threatened in case this was not
done to sell to every other dealer in
the same town so cheaply that the
with them. Mr. Teagle showed letters
dealers refusing could not compete
from customers in support Of these
statements He then briefly told of the
suit which his firm won against the
Lake Shore railroad in 1884 for dis
,f,>St iy,rr I'll
against Scofeld, Shurmer & Teagle in
favor of the Standard Oil Company.
Mr.. Teagle, who was under oath,
then testified that the Standard at
tempted, through middle man, to
bride the boop-keeper of his firm. The
book-keepr, he stated, was offered $50
month to give constant information
regarding the shipments, prices and
cost of manufacturing of Scofeld
Schurmon & Teagle. Mr. Teagle testi-
fed that the book-keeper requested
time in which to consider the matter
took $25 which the agent rendered as
pay in advance, and then laid the
whole transaction before his employ
ers. The witness said that he and his
partner, Mr.. Scofeld, took the $25 and
going to the Office of F. B. Squire, the
Secretary of the Ohio corporation OF
the Standard Oil Trust, laid the
money on his desk and told him that
they always stood ready to give him
any information which it was proper
for him to know about the affairs of
their firLl.
Still under oath, Mr.. Teagle declared
that Mr.. Squire acknowledged to them
that he had caused the agent to be
sent to see the book-keeper. The wit
ness testified that the Standard has
about So per cent of the oil business
of the country.
Secretary F. B. Squire was called as
a witness and he denied the state
ment of Mr.. Teagle with respect to the
attempt to bride book-keeper.

ADAY OF ARGU NJ ENT
Concerning the Admissibility Of Ger
tain Evidence in the Goshorn Case,
at Charleston.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, February T.
The entire session of the Criminal
Court was taken up to-day in the Cos
horn trial in the discussion before the
court of the question of admitting as
evidence to go before the jury the road
orders said to have been stolen by
Goshorn.
The prosecution contended that the
orders, Notwithstanding the fact that
they had been paid and cancelled. were
valuable as public records.
The defense argued that as they
were not orders for payment of money,
but requests to the county court to
issue county orders therefor, and as
the county court was not required by
law to keep thes road orders, which
were in the aerns of requests to the
Court, they could not be valuable as
records.
General st. Clair, in closing the dis
cussion for the defense, said that in an
extensive law practice. covering a pc
riod of a quarter of a century, he had
never witnessed such a spectacle as
this case presented The counsel for
the prosecution were trying to main
tain a case in court in the teeth of
every rule Of law or common sense
If the law were to be regarded. the
prosecution had absolutely no stand
ing in Court. Referring to the charge
stracted the road orders for the pur-
pose of running exSheriff Peter Sill
man, General st. Clair said Peter Sill
man. in specializing in these road or
ders with the public funds, had ruined
himself. The taxpayers had placed in
his hands public money and the Leg
islature had provided only two ways
in which it could be withdrawn from
his hands: first. in the payment of
county orders, and second, in the pay
ment of judgments against the coun-
ty. He had been buying these road
orders at probably fifty cents on the
dollar from the holders and getting
from the County Court for them one
hundred cents on the dollar. In thus
specializing with public money he made
himself liable to criminal prosecution.
At the conclusion of the argument
the Court decided to admit the road
orders IS evidence, and the examina-
ton of witnesses will be resumed to-
morrow morning.
