Minister Cavaignac asserted his belief
in Dreyfus' guilt, and his speech to this
effect in the Chamber Of Deputies was
ordered posted throughout France. He
produced document at the time that
he said had convinced him of Dreyfus'
guilt.
1t was retorted that the document
was forgery and was committed by
Col. Henry. The latter soon afterward
admitted his guilt and then committed
suicide. Previous to this Lemercier-
Picard, who figured In the scandal,
committed suicide. and last spring.
Lorimier, Col. Henry's former clerk,
followed suit.
After the Henry fiasco Cavaignac re-
signed as Minister Of War. Gen. Eur
linden succeeded him. and he soon re-
signed because he was opposed to
revision of the Dreyfus case. A month
later still another War Minister. Gen.
Chanoine, went down and out for the
same reason, and after him the whole
cabinet. Francois de Pressense was
expelled from the Legion Of Honor be-
cause he raised his voice for Dreyfus,
and others suffered social ostracism
and political death for like offenses.
There were accusations and recrmina-

other designations from high Offices all
because of the exile away off on the
coast Of Guiana.
New Trial Ordered.
This was the situation at the opening
OF the present year. Then the testi-
mony of Dreyfus, taken on Devils ISL
and, was presented before the Court of
Cessation, which was considering the
granting Of new trial to Drrffus.
Events then crowded on one another.
Patty de Clam was arrested In Paris
and imprisoned. Esterhazy. who had

Alfred Dreyfus Is an Alsatian Jew.
He received a military training at the
Ecole Polytechnique. Paris. and In 1878
was appointed to sub-.ieutenancy. He
made speciality of the artillery serv-

was a captain in the army; In 1898 he
was attached to the general staff-the

believed, and we'll and Loyalty did she
wage her battle against entrenched

rallied around her. and in the press and
legislative halls the case OF Dreyfus
was kept ever to the 'front.'
InJune, 1895, Col. George Picquart be-

the war office. Documents came into
his hands that convinced him that

Others, however, followed along the
lines Of Plcquart in his investigation.
Scheurer-Kestner asserted the inno-

bordereau. The agitation was so strong
that in January. 1898, the war office
ordered a whitewash court.martial for
Esterhazy. P.cquart was recalled to
