THE lola TRIAL.
Yesterdays Proceedings About Like Pre-
vious Ones.

Paris, February 14.-The trial of NJ
lola and M. Perriuex was resumed at the
A ssizes court Of the Seine today. M.
Jaurer, the socialist member of the
deputies was recalled. He reiterated his
belief in the culpability Of Major Ester
hazy.
The examination of NJ. Bertillon, the
handwriting expert was then resumed.
He said he thought it impossible to ask
the minister for the discriminating docu-
ments 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. Laborie, counsel for M. lola, there
upon protested and accused the witness
NJ. Bertillon with being unwilling to
testify in court while giving interviews
to the newspapers. NJ. Bertillon said the
interviews were false, and being pressed
by M Laborie to explain how, unless he
had seen the secret documents, he was
able to prove at the COURT martial that
Dreyfus wrote the bordereau.
M Bertillon said that he would not ex-
plain about documents which were no
longer in his possession. This announce
ment caused a sensation in court, and III.
Laborie, demanded that the advocate
general compel the witness to reply. To
this request the advocate general made no
answer
q Finally NJ Bertillon, who persisted in
not answering questions, left the witness
stand amid considerable uproar, M. La
borie remarking: And that is The man
upon whose evidence Dreyfus was con-
yicted. -
M. Yves Guyor, the former minister of
public works, testified that the Esterhazy
court martial was "a parody on Justice"
Excitement in court.
a 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
renewed sensation.
Later M. Guyot expressed the opinion
that the government commissioner who
prosecuted Esterhazy, was far more like
counsel for the defense than prosecutor.
II am happy in the belief that all the
best sentiment in France supports NJ
ZoIa, " said M. Guyot.
al. Teyssonnieres, another handwriting
expert, testified to identifying the hand
writing of the Bordereau as that Of Drey-
fus. He added that the fac simile had
been blurred, so as to make it resemble
Esterhazy's.
Later the witness created q sensation Dy
testifying that friends of Dreyfus had ap-
preached him and had limited that it
might be worth 100, 600 to 100000 francs if
he moderated his views favorably to
Dreyfus.
The court adjourned after calling a
NUN Der of other experts OF handwriting,
several of whom refused to testify on the
ground of professional secrecy.
Dupuy Hubbard deposed that his cousin,
NJ Bertillon had always affirmed to him
that Dreyfus was the cllprit, that he had
not seen the handwriting of Comte Ester
ward by the Jews and that a revision of
the Dreyfus trial would lead to social
revolution.

THE INEVITABLE DUEL.

editor Of La Libre Parote has challenged
M. Jaures, the Socialist leader to u duel
owing to quarrel that has grown out of
the lola trial.
M. Jaures, the leader of the Socialists
in the Chamber of Deputies, when in the
witness box last week said that III.
Papilland had told him that Connie Ester
hazy had admitted his guilt to NJ. Papi1-
land The latter pronounced this state
ment of NJ. Jaures untrue, whereupon
M. Jaures reaffirmed it, thus raising the
issue of personal veracity.

Z. Swiggett was commissioner of the
Third District, and held over. At
the general election held in NOvem-
Der, 1896, Joshua Musgrave and John
f. Barclay were the opposing candi-
dates to succeed MarQuand, and were
the only persons voted for to fill said
Office. Musgrave received the certifi-
cate of election Barclay contested.
and on January 9, 1897, the contest
court decided in his favor. Musgrave
filed his official bond and oath of office
November IA, 1896, and Barclay filed
his official bond and oath on January
8, 1897. On January IL, 1897, it being
the second Monday of January, and
the beginning of the new term of Of
flee, Barclay as commissioner from
the First District, and Hinshaw from
the Second, met, elected Hinshaw as
chairman, and proceeded to transact
business as the board of county COM
missiOners. and, among other things,
let the county printing to the WEST
ERN WORLD; Swiggett, the commits
siOner from the Third District, re-
fusing to act with them. Later in
the same day SwiggetL, the county
clerk, and Marquand organized pre-
tended board OF county commission
ers, and, among other business, let
the county printing to the plaintiff in
error, and this action was brought to
recover pay therefor under said con-
tract of letting. The action was tried
in the court below without jury,
and the issues found for the defend
ant generally, and judgment rendered
accordingly. To reverse this the
cause is brought to this court.

This is certainly sufficient vindica-
tion of the acts of the commissioners
in refusing to pay the claim of the
Independent and, per contra. justi-
fies their allowance of WORLDS claim.
To have refused both claims would
have added to the costs to the county
and made further confusion. In fact.
advice of that kind now seems to have
been the first step in an intended
game of freeze out as, if followed, the
payment of several just claims would
have been delayed until the present
time or even longer
About year ago the county attor-
ney sued WORLD to recover the
amount paid WORLD for printing done
under the contract given by Barclay
and Hinshaw and was, at the same
time defending the county against

THE DEATH
Too soon lov'd one, thy race Is run
Thy earth life short, all spent and done
'Tis hard for us, to part with thee
To give thee up no more to see-
Are not sure you've gone to God
To live with him both great and good.
In the heavenly mansion bright and fair
That Jesus went there to prepare
He comes to the home bright and fair
Where mutual love the inmates share;
He plucks the rarest buds of spring
A nd seals the lips atun'd to sing
Here then we lay this bud away.
Until the resurrection day:
When it shall bloom in BEAUTY rare
And of it's purfume angels share
