Nj. Casimr-Per1er replied that before
his Interview with the minister on the
sixth the question OF Dreyfus had new
er been raised between them and Ger
many
M. Demange asked General Mercier
why he had not included in Dossier OF
1894 the doubtful translation of the tel
egram of agent "B" to his government
under the date OF Nov. 3.
General Mercier said not one of the
translations OF the telegram had been
communicated TO the judges because
there still existed doubts in his mind
M. Demange remarked that the text
has been communicated 10 Sanherr as
official and therfor doubts were i'm
possible.
NJ. Demange then asked that M. Pa
leologue OF the foreign office be recalled

sion of the telegram was given him as
he understood General Mercier's un-
certainty was aroused by the receipt of
"A semi-official draft of the telegram. At
this point Major Carriere. the repre-
sentative of the government asked that

Casimir-FeHsr Subdued.

The attitude of NJ Casimir- -Perier
was quite subdued. compared with his
heated indignation Of Saturday.
When Gen. MERCER was recalled in
reply to the president of the court he
reiterated his belief that Maj. Count
Esterhazy. in spite of the latter's own
declaration, was not the author of the
bordereau, which the witness claimed
was written on tracing paper and was
found in an embassy.
The president asked NJ. Casimir- Pc
rier to explain the circumstances of the
confession Dreyfus is alleged to have
made to Capt. Eebrun- Renaud. NJ.
CasimirPerier persisted in his state
ment Of Saturday that he had never re-
ceived any condolences of this charac-
ter from Capt. .Lebrun- Renaud.
He added that NJ. Dupuy, the then
premier, was present when Capt. Lee
brun- Renaud called at the Elysee pal
ace. MoreC,er," said NJ. Casnnir-Pe-
rier, here is a letter from NJ. Dupuy
which j ask may be read"
The letter asserted that Capt. Le-
brun- Renaud, when questioned by NJ
Dupuy, replied that zen. Mercier had
sent him to the president to receive a
dressing down for his indiscreet dis
closures to Figaro.

The Sitting Suspended.

Col. Jouaust. president of the court,
when the news reached him suspended
the sitting of the court martial until
7:15 o'clock. NJ. Jaunay heard OF the
crime from Mme. Dabori herself. who
had rushed fro, her husbands side to
the court crying Sor 2 Ccctg- nd 5hcCt-
ing that her husband lad been shot.
When the court martial was resumed
Gen. Mercier ~ confronted with NJ.
Casimir-Pe-ier. the former president OF
France. The latter declared Mercier's
story, told on tie witness stand Sat
urday of the immi i-ence OF war between
Germany and France in 1894, was
grossly exaggerated and complained of
the action of the rnen minister OF war
CMercier) in moving so 900 troops to the
frontier without consulting him.
AS IL was NJ. Labori's task to take
Gen. Mercer i'm hand and NJ. De,nange,
associate counsel. was quite unprepar-
ed for the task, the few questions the
latter put were practically OF little eff
feet and Gen. Mercier escaped cheaply.
Moreover. NJ. Demange was deeply af-
fected by the attempt to assassinate
his colleague and was quite unable TO
do himself Justice.
Nj. Demange soon announced that al
though NJ. Labori's wound was not so
serious as first supposed II would be
impossible for the latter to participate
in the proceedings.
This blow had fallen so heavily upon
every one present. however. that the
proceedings had become perfunctory
and were being followed listlessly

DESTROYED Documents.

Counsel next asked General Mercier
why the explanations Of the secret dos
sier were not included in the dossier
relating to the revision. The general
replied that he considered these ex-
plantations for his personal use and that
was why he destroyed the document. AT
this NJ. Demange expressed a sense of
astonishment and asked General Mer-
cier IL he did not have reasons for sup
pressing the document. The witness re-
pudiated the suggestion.
Dreyfus at this point rose from his
seat and asked leave TO explain in re-
gard to the assertion that he had
traced on a card the itinerary OF
certain journey of the general staff
Both the itinerary and journey he as
serted were purely ficticious.
NJ. Casimir- Perier then said he desir-
ed to reiterate that he had never prom
ised anything to Dreyfus. adding that
IL was with NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau alone
that he had spoken in regard to the
condemned man. Therefore. NJ. CAST

M. Demange Explains.

This caused NJ. Demange to explain
how Dreyfus came to say that Casmr-
Perier had promised him a public trial.
After NJ. Demange had asked NJ. Wal
deck Roseau to intervene with NJ.
Casimir-Perier (then president of
France) TO obtain publicity Mr.. Wal
deck-Rousseau reported that the presi-
dent appeared favorable to the sug-
gestion and counsel therefore thought
he might communicate the fact to
