When Dreyfus had finished speaking
Col. Jouaust invited NJ. Bertulus to
speak, and the latter literally sprang
up the steps to the platform. and lean
| ing sideways against the witness box
| and speaking slowly and distinctly. he
turned to the witness Capt Junck and
said:
Monsieur lie President, will not do
Captain Junek the honor TO reply to
| the particulars with which
HE HAS RECALLED THE COURT
| regarding the visit TO my Office July &c.
explained everything before the unit
| ed court of cessation. l am here, there
| fore, have not been punished and
therefore my explanation satisfied the
| judges of the supreme court"
NJ Bertulus admitted he left the Of
| fee with the late Lieut.. Col Henry and
Capt. Junck and accompanied them to
! the end of the gallery adjoining the
| Office, because he was particularly in
terested in their investigation which, :"
he added, Il may say had no result
The magistrate greatly desired to
know what special papers they We're
| hunting for, but did not succeed in
learning in spite of all his efforts TO
| extract the information.
'Now," continued NJ. Bertulus, zone
| point is clear and, in regard thereto, l
| declare Captain Juncks wish was the
| father TO the thought and he is wrong
| in saying | told him | did not think
| Esterhazy was traitor. My conyic-
| ton on this point, gentlemen, has been
mistaken since July 2. the day l ar
rested him, because. at the bottom of
my heart was convinced l was in the
presence of a traitor. of the sole trail
| tor, and that in Esterhazy was the key
| to the trial from which France is per-
ishing. That is why l arrested him,
and this conviction, gentlemen, has
become more profound in proportion
as 1 proceeded with the case against
Esterhazy. l never could have said
he was not traitor. / did not say so
because 1 think
ESTERHAZY Is A TRAITOR,
and 1 will maintain SO to and against
everybody"
Gen. Gonse: 81 wish to say word. ."
Col. Jouaust: please speak, General
Gen. Gonse: Il should not have in
tervened if l had not heard Captain
Junck's evidence contradieted. Cap
tain Junck's account OF his converse
ton with M. Bertulus and Col Henry
in the corridor of the magistrates Of
fee is perfectly correct, as reported to
me. These gentlemen calld. on me and
repeated the conversation they had with
NJ. Bertulus, and all Captain Juncll
told you he informed me of when leav-
ing NJ. Bertulus. The latter said:
az know Esterhazy. Now he is a
fashy fellow, a nobody, a man OF
straw, but so far as treachery is con-
cerned. there is nothing in it,
Col. Jouaust. addressing M Bertulus,
said:
"Did you use those words?"
M. BertuIus-"I will not contradict
Gen. Gonse, who was not there. But
assert and maintain that Captain
Junck's wish was father to the thought.
I use the most polite form of express
sion"
1t was thought the incident was clos
ed, but Col. Picquart jumped to his
feet
Col. Jouaust-"What, again."
COL. PICQUART INSISTED,
and referring to the Petit Bleu in order
to demonstrate how valueless was Cap
tain Junck's evidence, he said the court
had only to compare the captains evil
dence with the results Of the Ravary
Fabre and Tavernier enquiries TO see
the contradictions between him and
Major Lauth. The court, he added,
then would see the utter valuelessness
of Capt. Junck's statements. (Sensa-

The court then adjourned.
Three points stood out prominently
in to-day's proceedings. They were
Col. .Jouaust's display Of Partially, the
new attitude taken by Dreyfus and the
contemplate conduct Of the last wit
ness, Junck.
The spontaneous utterance OF Jau-
aust OF the word encore" (again),
when Picquart asked to be heard, has
been the topic of conversation this af-
ternoon, as Jouaust for the first time
thus openly and candidly revealed his
partiality and hoisted the anti-Dreyfus-
ard colors. Throughout the trial Meth
er he nor any of the judges have ever
shown particular love for Picquart, but
he has never committed such

he did to-day. Col. Picquarts attitude
