publication OF the testimony given in the Drey-
fus revision proceedings before the Court Of
Cessation, this morning prints unimportant
dispositions of several detectives employed in
the Dreyfus Investigations and the beginning

The latter said he was ordered by Colonel
Beuchez to make Investigations for the purpose
Of discovering If the handwriting Of the bor
derea au was that Of an officer OF the general
staff He then, in September, 1894 shared the
orinion that the document was the work Of
artillery officer but had since completely
changed his views. He had heard it said by
Colonel du Patty de Clam Colonel Bouchez
that there were documents too important to be
produced at the trial. but that the judges should
see them.
Concerning the trial. the witness said that
Dreyfus protested his innocence.
Colonel Henrys testimony made much impress
sion. He said:
Il have it from an honorable person that there
is a traitor in the Second Bureau" and. point
ing to Dreyfus, added: And there is the trail

Colonel Henry refused to give the name Of his
informant. who, Colonel Picquart said was in
innate with foreign diplomatists and, through
detectives. had repeated to Colonel Henry what
was said by the military attaches. The secret
dossicr Picquart said, undoubtedly COM
runcated to the court-martial. The matter was
openly talked about at the War Office When
Colonel Sandherr handed over the officer to
Cclonel Picquart he said that IL any doubts Of
the guilt Of Dreyfus were raised he had only

to the court-martial According to the talk at
the War Office, the secret dossier had been
given to the president of the court-martial. who
showed II TO the members while they were de-
lberating on their verdict.
Colonel Picquart went on to state the nature
of the documents in the dosser and his doubts
regarding Drevfus being their author. and added
that the Information Bureau was too ready to
accept the reports OF subordinates
