himself? All he could do was to deny

preached him with It afterward that he

Estcrhazy the Culprit.
h How, then, can Dreyfus be In n bet
ter position now to prove his own limo
cence? In this way. He is now. and for
a long time past has been, in position
to prove az that the German and Itnl-
Ian government deny having had any
thing to do with himself, and (2), that
another man, videiicet Esterhazy, is
the culprit-is the author Of the bor-
dereau. And he proves this not only by
the opinion Of experts, but by evil
dence connecting Esterhazy directly
with the bordereaU itself, and with
other reasonable practices, This EVIL
dcncc Is overwhelming. Perhaps the
most decisive proof comes from the
quarter where the bordereau Is best
known--the government to whom It
was addressed. The German govern
ment have again and again declared to
their own parliament, as well as to the
French foreign office. that they have
had nothing to do with Dreyfus. and
they have communicated Schwnrzkop-
pens word of honor that he was n
stranger to Dreyfus. II not also, as Is
asserted In the press and not officially
denied. their own authorization to
Schwarzkoppen to produce his cores

government have made similar declar.

and have In vain pressed that their
military attache. Pannizurdi. should be
heard as IL witness. Now, these declur-
at!onS cannot have been diplomatic
dement's. for the French government
are now In possession OF n letter from
Panizzard!. dated November !. 1894,
contemporary, therefore. with the tel
egram which. as above narrated the
French government Intercepted and
then suppressed from. Dreyfus and the
COURT, dispatched to his own govern
mcnt ut Rome. announcing Dreyfus'
arrest, and distinctly stating that neil
Their he nor Schwarzkoppen knew any,
thing about him. Then Count Torn
.icili. the Italian ambassador. has made
a communication to NJ. Trarleux Tex
minister OF justice). and authorized him
TO make use OF 1t. such communicate
ton being to the effect that Schwartz
koppen did actually receive the docu-
ments mentioned In the bordereau, but
not from Dreyfus; further, that Gas
already narrateD EGterhazy, In Octo-
Der. 1897. made two visits to the Ger
man embassy: the first Just after he
had heard he was about to he de-
nounceu rs author of the borderenu
when he udjurcd Schwar=koppen to
save him by silcnc!ng Madame Dreyfus
with false avuwals that her husband
had been In his employ MS German
spy: and the second shortly afterward
when he returned radiant to announce
that he was to be saved--by his own
sHperlers The French government
who have refused to let Panizzardi
give evidence. cannot be heard to say
that these declarations are not evidence
or are Incredible The declarations are
confirmed BY the report from their own
police that on the ead OF October Ester

may appeal. Item: Esterhazy's boast
that he had long heen the man of the

ident of the court of cessation, that In
1904 and 1895 he was engaged by Sand
her: to communicate secretly with
Schwnrzkoppen and sell him state doc
uments: only Estcrhnzy asks the court
to believe that the business was to sell
worthless documents, In order to oh
tain valuable ones IN exchange. Item:

and there are now IN the possession
of the court at least two letters writ

letters were produced In the court Of
