Dreyfus VIII Get on.


Dreyfus VIII Get on.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. 2-M. Lelon Bu-
reau of Paris, formerly private secretary to
NJ. Labori, is in the city guest of Dr..
Adriene Monod, French vice consul. He
said to-day that the present trial of Drey-
fus will result in his acquttal. If ver-
dist of guilty is returned, the Court of
Cessation, the higher French authority.
will at once set it aside and order another
courtmartial, and so on until he is ac-
quilted.
NJ. Bureau says the Court Of Cessation
knows that French law is being jusgled
by this military court, and there are two
grounds on which it could set aside such
a sentence: First, a violation of the law;
and. second, abuse of power.
"When the Court of Cessation sent
Dreyfus back for d second trial" said NJ.
Bureau. "he was remanded on the charge
of having been the author of the borde-
reau Now this is the only thing he could
be tried for. Instead of sticking TO il, the
court has permitted Witnesses to talk of
his relations with women and other out
side matters, which is directly violation
of French law. If some matter not con-
nected with the bordereau should come up
in the testimony proving Dreyfus' guilt,
this courtmartial could not try him. The
Court of Cessation would nave 10 order
new trial for the specific purpose"
NJ Bureau said IL was within the power
of the Court of Cessation to have decreed
Dreyfus innocent. In fact, there were
but two things for the tribunal to do;
either adiudge him not guilty or send him
back for re-trial. This latter proceeding
was deemed better, as through a retrial
"a medium would be furnished and so give
the military party a chance to redeem it.
self. 1t would look so much better in the
eyes of the world and help to take away
the odium an acquittal by the Court of
Cessation would cause.

friend of the Dreyfus family. He left
France four months ago and has been
travelling in the United STATES aud Can
