THE PRISONERS NEW ATTITUDE
Turing Junck's deposition Dreyfus took ire
ouent notes on his left cuff, and used them III
o,,v,re IN the Captain at the conclusion OF 'he
Captains testimony.
Tho prisoner now seems TO have quite recoN-
arod himself and instead Of making inpas-
sioned declarations Of innocence ne tahes "P
tho noints OF the testimony against MIN anu
discusses them clearly and with force or arsu-
mont which has a great effect on the audience
~ not On the judges. He made a peau'i"
point against Junck to-day, saying with reie'
ence 10 the latter's repetition of what DreSlu'
said in private conversation concerning "on"e''
that the Captain also made him cer'alh con
fdences But" added the prisoner II captain
Juncks ideas Of honor allow him to divulge PHI
yate conversation, mine do not. 1 nave cream
hands. and will keep them clean
The prisoner then replied in forcioie way
10 Captain Juncks statements against MN III
the questions Of the manpuvres and copying
maps etc.
The change Of attitude upon the part OF Drey-
fus has given universal satisfaction 10 Ills
friends Hitherto he had confined himself wheh
asked by the Judge If he had any reply 10 MAKE
TO witnesses TO an imprisoned protestation Oh
his innocence. This made an immense impress
sion on his hearers. but 1t only left transl'ory
IMPRESSION Moreover, General Roget MADE the
significant remark IN court last week mat an
innocent man does not merely protest MS III
nocence. but defends himself This undoubtedly
stung Dreyfus into the line he adopted to-oa!
when he rose and replied argumentatlVeIy anu
in a calm voice to the various points raised by
the witnesses. The prisoner punctuated his re-
marks with moderate. we'll chosen gestures oil
his right hand, standing erect. facing his judges
and holding his gold braided KEPT In his lei'
hand.
At the conclusion Of Dreyfus's stat ements M
Bertulus assembled the platform and made a
speech in reply to Captain Junck accompanying
his remarks with extraordinary gestures, dane
ing about the stage and waving his arms unit
the audience was convulsed with laughter. NJ
Bertulus however, was quite serious anC
opened by saying ne rendered Captain Junck tn
honor Of replying to him on the subject OF th'
alleged Mile. Pays incident. He then proceeded
10 traverse Captain Juncks evidence, calling
him, in polite terms. a liar. and declaring tina
he took his wish for reality The Magistrate
scored several points against the captain anC
General Gonse felt it necessary 10 go on TIL
platform and speak in Junck's favor. in order L
dispel the bad effect left on the judges.
Then occurred the Picquart incident Colone
Picquart went upon the stage, confronted Cap
tain Junck and made brief but very effectiv
speech. pointing out that Junck had alread
made three contradictory statements while re
ferring 10 the petit bleu. and adding that il
fact, he might be considered discredited as
witness.
