Rennes, Aug. 22.-Ihe second trial O
Captain Alfred Dreyfus on the charge o
treason was resumed before the couI
martial in the hail of the Lycee here
Many journalistic spectators were absen
when the court opened. Work was takel
up in businesslike fashion. and wit
nesses were disposed of rapidly.
Commandant Fabre, who was the frs
witness, speedily betrayed Il fact whicl
Captain Cugnets testimony on Saturda!
had overwhelmingly, that the subordi
nate witnesses from the general staff ha(
one and all decided to make their testi
mony much sitter and stronger against
the prisoner than it had been as they
| gave it before the court of cessation.
Fabre affirmed that several officers at
| tached to the war Office confirmed Drey,
fus' guilt by saying that he had sought
| from them information on the points
mentioned in the bordereau. The wit
ness finallg declared that he hadn't the
slightest doubt that Dreyfus wrote the
bordereau.
M. Demange asked the witness why
he was now so much more emphatic in
his statements and opinions than when
he testified before the court of cassaton

ly explained one or two technical points
OF Fabre's evidence. The prisoners
voice was for the hrst time inaudibIe to
tne audience, as he made his explanation
IN conversational tone.
Lieutenant Colonel Abouvillc was the
next witness, and he followed precisely
tne same course as Fhbre and Cugnet
he emphasized ms bellet that preyfus
was guilty saying that he based his be-
ler not only on the handwriting of the
pordereau. but also upon the fact that
only staglaire could possibly have fur
nlshed the information enumerated there
In. 1t was rule among the officers of
the war ofilce Of the various bureaus not
to communicate to one another informa-
ton concerning their respective depart
ments. The items mentioned in the tor
dereau came from several bureaus; there
fore it was possible for only stag aires to
obtain them.
NJ. Denlange put the same question to
Abotvlll" that he had asked Fabrv and
received tie same reply. H. then re ID |
