and the name. he asserted, was that Of

added, was not found in any of the

faced about, and looked fixedly at the
prisoner. who. however, merely shrug-
ged his shoulders.

Here General Roget paused, the ex-
c!tement under which he was labOring
being almost uncomfortable, In a thick
choking voice he continued:
and yet, in the presence of dISInter-
ested testimony like mine, you will not
allow preference to be shown TO the
evidence Of persons who have been ex-
lied by treason"
At this point the general broke down,
and tears streamed down his cheeks.
Resumlng his testimony the general
set to work in the effort to prove the
guilt Of Dreyfus. He declared there
were traces OF treason in every para
graph Of the bordereau. and that Drey-
fus alone, not Esterhazy, could have
been acquainted with the plans It con-
tanned. He criticised the deposition
Of Major Hartmann. OF the Twenty-sec-
ond artillery, in regard to this point.
The witness then traversed the old
ground, trying to prove that Dreyfus
alone was aware OF the secrets Of the
new artillery guns. OF the plans for the
concentration of troops and OF the con-
tents OF the firing manual. He then
endeavored to show that Colonel Pic
quart had recourse to fraudulent meth
DDS, with the intent OF discriminating
some one other than Dreyfus. and de-
olared PlcQuart spent one hundred
thousand francs with the object Of or
ganlzlng Il campaign of surveillance
"of an unfortunate officer who was
guiltless." This one hundred thou
sand francs, he added, was reserve ac-
cumulated by Colonel sandherr by
strict economy from the funds at the
disposal Of the war office. This reserve
had entirely disappeared.
In response to gestures Of contradlc-
tlon from N. Demnngc. General Ro-
get admitted the figures quoted were
perhaps exaggerated. The witness
next nccused Colonel Plcquart Of sup
pressing documents tending to comprO-
mise Drcyfus.
As the general was evidently greatly
fRugued, Colonel Jouaust suggested
he continue his testimony tomorrow.
The colonel then addressed the prison.
or, asking him II he had anything to
say in reply to General Roget. Drcy-
fus replied:
