Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-09-05

porIcn TO the war ONCE the exact oppo-
site. The witness in n most emphatic
manner declared that both General Gonse
and General Roget had reported his
| words falsely.
| Maitre Labori asked the recorder to
read General Gonse's report on the sub
ject, which is anoeher of the precious
documents in the secret dossier.
The report was read, and General
Gonse, looking very uncomfortable, went
| to the platform to confront the eminent
savant who had denounced him as
falsitier. He began by saying that tho
matter was of much less Importance
than the defense endeavorad to make 1t
appear The war minister asked him to
send in all available Information on me
subject. He had no desire or intention
to misrepresent NM. Painlevs and linda
mard.' General Gonse was proceeding
in this weak fashion " hen M. Painleve,
facing him, declared with great indigna-
ton, General Gonse, you say the exact
opposite of the truth"
General Gonse instead Of resenting
this observed almost plaintively: "This
is not a document bearing on the prison
er's guilt. 1t records my impressions.
How can NJ. Painleve repeat textually
that conversation I"
M. Painleve sprnng mp, and, Selling
the document, shook it in tho face of the
now covering general. Then he pointed
out line after line in the document, say
ing, 81 never said this or this; the whole
document is a pure fabrication.'
Colonel Jouaust tried to interrupt the
witness to protect General Gonse, but
the indignant man refused to notice the
president of the court.
Roget to the Front.
Then General Roget mounted the
stand in defense of his eomrade, General
Gonse. He tried to COW N. Painleve
with one of his insolent stares, which
was so insulting that Colonel Jeuaust
ordered Roget to turn his attention to
the court. General Roget attempted to
say that there was some misunderstood
ing, but NJ Painleve would not have 1t
and repeated his denunciation, this time
including NJ. Cavaignac, the former war
minister, with General Roget.
AS soon as NJ. Painleve retired Maitre
Labori abandoning all his careful policy
of consideration for the military suscep-
Utilities of the court, made direct as
sault on the citadel of the enemies of JUS
tice which everybody wished had been
done from the first. He recalled General
Gonse, and the first question put to the
witness was challenge without quarter.
NJ. Labor asked. How did you come to
file false document in this case?"
Colonel Jouaust instantly interviewed,
saying 81 refuse to put the question In
those terms"
NJ. Labori-I insist.
Colonel .Iouaust-1 refuse.
M. Labori-The question Is entirely
justified by the evidence.
Colonel Jouaust--I recall you to mod
Grafton.
NJ. Labori-I am very moderate. l am
dealing with admitted facts. | am here
to do Il duty, and | Mtend doing it, l
want know why was this false docu-
ment pat in the secret dossieT and ased
to warp the Judgment of each successive
wal minister?
General Gonse--I don't know how it
came to be in the secret dossier. at
Tackled little importance to 1t.
