Iebrun-Renault.

Rennes, Sept. 2.-Dreyfus had the
most trying day he has yet gone
through. The strain proved too great
for him and for the second time in the
course Of the trail he gave way to his
feelings and sought relief in Etears.
The generals have branded him AS q
traitor before the court, their subord.
mates have pointed the finger of scorn
at him. But he only once tlinched-
when the official report of his treat.
ment on DEVILS island was read before
HIM and the pictures of his sufferings,
mental and physical. was thrown vivid
~ on the screen of his memory. Then
lie hid his features and wert.
He passed through another such
crisis today, when. after Captain Lee
brun-Renault and witness after witness
had brought bsfore him that cold Jan.
uary morning which ushered in the
scene OF his degradation. Major For
senetti, a man of heart, told in simple
words and unaffected manner the story
of Dreyfus' struggle with the madden

intervention OF his wife, as an angel.

these words of heartfelt gratitude to
his wife for the courage with which
she inspired him:

The prisoner could articulate no
more but sat down abruptly to conceal
his distress. The proceedings con-
cluded Il few minutes later and he was
taken back to his prison. where his
wife visited him, and in the presence
of Nine. Dieyfus AMI the gendarmerie

tension had been too much for him.
He sobbed convulsively and the partner
of his SORROWS joined him in a solace

Captain Lebrun- Rerault and the sup
porters of his assertion of the Dreyfus
confession had an inning, lasting near
ly the entire session, their dispositions
containing little but what has already
been stated before the court of cassa-
ton. Captain Lebrun-Renault intro
duced the new assertion that the fact
that he had not related TIE incident Of
the confession to President Casimir-
Perier WAS because he overheard him
