Colonel Henry q regret to have tc
speak Of the dead) was greatly in the
wrong in sending Grlbelin to the Mont
| Souris interview. Gribelin would not
have been there if l had known it, and
I had not been told.
| M. Labor next asked that the dossier
in the Travenier inquiry in the case Of
Du Patty de Clam should be produced
whereupon the government commissary
said: II ask that the request be refus-
ed" Replying to counsel, the commits
sary said he hoped Du Patty de Clam
would be able to appear in court in a
few days
! M. Labor said he was greatly surpris-
ed that Du Patty de Clam had sent Es-
| terhazy documents of which the former
only ought to have official cognizance.
Did General Gonse approve of Du Patty
| de CLAIMS action? Did he defend the
| Vaccinations of Du Patty de Clam?
| General Gonse-Never. Du Patty de
Clam was headstrong and excitable,
M. Labori-But General Gonse intiat-
ed certain steps, Were there no con-
ferences at which there We're discus
sions as to what was to be done for Es-
terhazy?
General Gonse-There We're no such
conferences. 1t is absolutely untrue.
These tales are always being repeated
| do not accept the insinuations.
M. Labori-There are no insinuations.
We are talking Of statements made by
Du Patty de Clam.
General Gonse-I was not referring to
you.
After this M. Labori said he desired
to know whether General Gonse did not
consider himself in some measure re-
sponsble for the proceedings of Du
Patty de Clam. The general replied in
the negative, and added that he was
conscious that he had always done his
duty. The witness admitted, however,
that Du Patty de Clam was not alto
gether innocent of a share in the APP
pearance of the "Dixi" article, which APP
peared in the Libre Parole, and gave
the public the first information regard
ing the character of the secret doesier
and the intrigues against Colonel Pic
quart.
When General Gonse was asked what
he thought of Du Patty de CLAIMS inter-
counsel, General Gonse replied: "Es-
terhazy was a sort Of special prisoner
He retained his liberty, not because he
was under the protection of the general
staff, but because General Sausser so
ordered it"
Thereupon M. Labor remarked that
General Saussier acted in this manner
because he had been deceived by the
headquarters staff in regard to Ester
hazy, adding: THAT is point which Is
very important to emphasize"
The general admitted there were two
interviews between Du Patty de Clam
and NJ Tezenas, after which, witness
said he ordered them to stop.
GENERAL BOISDEFFRE in SELF
DEFENCE.
General de Boisdeffre at this point
took occasion to defend himself again.
II ask leave" he said, only to tell
the court that / give the most absolute
contradiction to Esterhazy's evidence
Then, turning to counsel for the de-
fence, the general added: If i were
not here as q witness, / would ask per-
mission to say. in regard to these false
hoods, that l despise them and repel
them with the scorn they deserve
This statement caused great stir
The testimony given by Mile. Pays,
the friend of Esterhazy, before the
court of cessation was then read by
the clerk of the court, as the witness
did not appear when her name was
called.
DREYFUS IN COLLEGE.
General Lebelin de Dionne. governor |
of the military college, then testified to
Dreyfus' character at college. The |
prisoner, he said, displayed great intel
ipence, but had a deplorable temper. |
He recalled a remark of Dreyfus that |
the people of Alsace-Lorraine would be
much happier under German rule than
under the rule of France,
The prisoner, referring to the testi- |
nony of General Lebelin de Dionne, ex-
planned that during his first year at
he military college he attained very
nigh marks, that the second year he
almost held his place, when he beard
hat a member of the examining board
lad declared at board meeting that,
knowing the pupils, he put
marx D opposite the DdIIlG Ol DIGy luS,
simply because they did not want a
lew on the headquarters staff. The
prisoner thought that his protests
gainst this would, therefore, be read
ly understood.
