Claims That the Guilt Of Dreyfus Was Morally
Though Not Legally Proved Before Evidence
Was Manufactured
Now Believed That He Was Taking Money From Both Sides for
Furnishing Information Supposed to Be Of Highly
Reasonable Character

CHICAGO, Sept. 2o.-A London cable
to the Inter Ocean says: Major Count
EsterhaZy, who was recently retired
from the French army, still remains in
London, where he is now in the hands
of well-known firm of police court
lawyers. The latter issued a statement
In his behalf to-day, declaring he has
not authorized any confession or reve-
lations in\ the Dreyfus case. He de-
clared that he intends to act flor the
best interests of his country and her
army" This grandiloquent declaration
from such a source is so groteSQue that
it is amusing.
probably more within a month that he
wrote the Dreyfus borderau. He also
described an interesting list of other
crimes committed In connection with
the case by himself and others He af-
firms there was moral, not legal, proof
of Dreyfus' guilt, and that the officers
of the French general staff resorted to
manufactured evidence In order to Sc
cure his condemnation, which was
really deserved.
He declared he wrote the borderau in
obedience to orders from a superior of
hcer and Justif1es his action by reason,
already cabled, that soldier should
place his conscience as well as his
sword at the disposal of his superior
officers" But his story of how he came
to write the borderau is almost certain
ly false
He wrote 1t and handed 1t to two mil
itary officers of foreign powers before
Dreyfus was dreamed of in connection
with the affair. He wrote 1t under in
structions from officers of the inteIli-
gence department, by which he was
employed, in order to obtain greater Sc
crets in return.
He was. however, playing a double
game. He was needy, his French
stipend being insufficient to meet his
expenses and he really received money
from both sides and actually delivered
