An Exciting Scene at the DTey-
fuS Court Martial.
A MILITARY CLANNISHNESS
n Labori Filled the Platform with
Heard in Defense or Explanation.
The Day Was Favorable TO the
Prisoner = Jouausf's Sympathy
with fhe Prosecution.

Rcnnes, Aug 24-Today's session
of tie DreyfuS~couIt martial was
marked by one of the most exciting
scenes of the trial. The proceedings
opened with a skirmish entirely favo--
able to tbs defense, over Col. Mauref,
president of the court martial of 1894,
who admitted the reading of one Of
thu secret documents tC the court which
had net been seen by .-he dslense. He
protested that only one document was
locked at, alleging that this suficed to
enable him TO form a conviction that
could not be shaken.
This protest made n2c.tars worse,
because, as NJ. Labori pointed out, II
he pe3used enc, it was his bounden
duty to peruse all. Col. Jouau5t up
held Col. MauFel IN his refusal to in
dicate the natUrs Cf tEe document he
read. but NJ Label announced that he
would sI1mon Captain FreyS-atter, an
other member of the tribunal Of 1894,
and get his version of what passed be-
hind the backs of tha counsel fer the
keenIy and continually hesitated be-
fore replying to Labc-i's questions.
All this, however, was only p-elimi-
nary to a fierce battle that ensued be-
tween NJ. Labori and General MERCER,
the latter receiving reinforcsments
from General Roget, General Gonse
and General de B0;sdeffre as well as
invalUa Bile assistance from Col. Jouaust
himself NJ. Labori took General
Mercier over the who.:, ground of his
previous deposition
This led to several sharp passages at
arms between the advocate and Col.
Jouaust, who upheld Merciar in refus-
ing 20 reply to several questions which
in the general opinion cf those in the
court room were distinctly pertinent.
Whenever General Merciar wzs cor
nepof, he declined to ar5wer AMI Col.
Jouaust invariably supported him.
NJ. Labori protested mCd5 en5rgetica1ly.
His words and manner breathed deep
est indignation, bU's the president of
the court martial was infaxible. The
Intervention of Generals Gcnse, Roget
and De Boisdeffre ard Majcr Lauth,
who IN rapid succession mounted the
stage Or rose N their STATS ard inter
posed remarks was very exciting, and
carried this spectators along on the
wave of breathlessness.
One alter nncther these officers. VINO
were today in full uniform, would jump
and cry, Il demand to be heard" and
without furthsr waiting would ascend
the steps Of the Platform and begin
Statement in support of a brother Off
Ger. Sometimes four officers were en-
the stage at the sama time. 1t was a
marvellous display of military clan
nishness. At one time a perfect babel
of voices reigned for several minutes
until Col Jouaust in.5rvened and re-
stored order.
NJ. IabOIi's cTCss-examiEC'-ion was
successful so far as it went. but Col.
Jouaust prevented him pressing his ad-
vantage to the utmost, on facts.
Jouaust's hostile attitude toward the
counsel for The defen5e then and dur
ing the cross examination os the wit
ness, NJ de Grandmaison, evoked the
sevenast criticism on the part of the
