persecution proceeded with the produc-
ton of the fimsiest trash, which it
deems profitable to inflict on the judges

effort was made to blast Dreyfus' char
aCter by much ridiculous testimony,
but the bubbles Of tittle-tattle were
badly pricked when counsel for the
cetence had finished with the witness.
Much Of the time was occupied in read
Ing the testimony of Esterhazy and

FRIDAY.

Al the opening Of the session Friday,
considerable comment was caused by
'he request of M. Gribelin, the principal
arch'vist Of the headquarters staff, for
permission to absent himself for twen-
V-Iour hours, owing to summons OF
'he Minister of War, General the
Aarquis) De Gallifet, who desired to
see him In Paris. 1t was suggested that
Ihe Minister Of War wished to refresh
N' Gribelin's memory which has been
so strongly anti-Dreyfus. Then follow
eu the reading Of a medical certificate
signed by two doctors whose names
We're not familiar to the audience, set
ing forth that Colonel Du Patty de
Clam is too i'll to leave his bed and ap-
pear at Rennes, at which the audience
was not surprised. Madame Du Patty de
VIam also wrote the government COM
mlssary Offering a written, supplement
,ary deposition from her husband. NJ.

doctors who signed the certificate, ask
ed the court to appoint two well-known
physicians to report officially on Dn
Paty de CLAIMS condition. Colonel Jou-
aust, however, declared 1t was useless
TO do so as the condition of the invalid
was well-known.
Most OF the other testimony given
was of technical character and anti
