stated by Germain, that he never Went
to the manoeuvres in company with
Dreyflls, and absolutely denied all Ger
mains statements.
Major D'Infreville testified that he Lad
known Germain since 1894. lie added
that German informed Hmm that Drey-
fus attended the German manoeuvres.
Witness had never said that an ofi1cer
Germain saw in the Bois de Boulognc
was Dreyfus, for the simple reason that
he did not know Dreyfus.
Captain lie Monnier, of the headquar-
ters staff, who was a probationer ON the
staff at the same time as Dreyfus, de-
posed that while they We're at the school
of war in 1894 Dreyfus said he was we'll
acquainted with a certain position to
which the Germans attached great I'M
portance as means of checking the
french advance. This position, witness
continued was westward of Muhlhausen
and Dreyfus said he reached this opinion
after following the German manoeuvTes
ON horseback.
The prisoner at this point, quietly
pointed out that the position mentioned
by CAPTAIN lie Munmier was situated III
an entirely different locality from where
he, the prisoner, is supposed to have fol
lowed the manoeuvres. The prisoner
reiterated that he never attended the
in question.
At the request of M. Demange, Nj.
Villon detailed the alleged conversation
and said he had not mentioned the con-
yersation in 1894 because Dreyfus had
been arrested, and, knowing him to be
guilty, the witness foresaw he would be
convicted.
Special Commissary Fischer, of the
Eastern Military Railway system, de-
posed that he was ordered to investi-
gate leakage in the gnnnery school
at Bourges, and, he added, the results
Of his inquiries did not seem to incriml-
nate Dreyfus.
Lieutenant Bernheim testified that
while in garrison at Rouen, he furnished
Esterhazy with information and docu-
ments regarding the artillery and Es-
terhazy was much interested. The
witness was never able TO recover the
documents He supposed at the time
that Esterhazy was anxious to Increase
his military knowledge.
Lieutenant Brugere, of the artillery
reserve, the witness called, said it was
perfectly easy for any officer TO closely
he added. the detailed explanations and
information regarding the brake We're
given to- the officers present when the
gun was fired. On two occasions, wit
ness also said, when the gun was fired
he noticed the presence of group OF
non-artillery officers. Therefore the
Lieutenant pointed out, it was plain that
access to the gun was quite easy. In
May, 1894, Lieutenant Brugere con-
tinued the new firing manual was dis
tributed A copy was given to each
battery, and, as the Captains lectures
were not fully understood, further copies
of the firing manuel were printed and

as they liked. In some regards even
