Labori's further questions again
brought up the plot supposed to have
been conducted by Henry and De Clam
to ruin PicQuart and shield Esterhazy.
Labor: Ibid you not know that Es-
terhazy forged the 'Speranza' letter in
order to ruin an innocent man?"
Gonse: at was kept because it was
indispensable to know what Picquart
was doing. He was under suspicion. "
The "Pett Bleu' was then discussed.
Picquart claims the name of Esterhazy
was scratched out in the postal card
and then written in again to give it the
appearance of q forgery.
Major La Mothe then testified that
there were strong reasons for the mill
tarv chiefs ascribing new date to the
bordereau in order TO incriminate Drey-
fus. In reply TO General MERCER, the
witness said that De Clam had the Dor
dereau for twenty days and could have
copied it dozen times.
General Roget shouted "You're not
telling the truth"
Dreyfus then rose and briefly argued
his innocence from the evidence that
the bordereau had been changed.
The court then adjourned till Mon
day.
Rennes, Sept. mo Euglishman or
American who has followed this Drey-
fus trial will today admit that there is
an atom of evidence TO condemn Drey-
fus, yet it is the opinion in the town
that he will be coDdemned-followed
by coup d grace, perhaps, to set him
free.

their side wins.

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT. ., 1899

REPRESENTATIVE LAME OF the hich'
mond district, who at first was general
" counted with the anti Martinites, has
been induced by the repeated and mos'
remarkable assertions of his colleague
Mr. Jones, to the effect that no man
could point to one thing Senator Mar
tin had ever done for the benefit OF ois
State to declare that since Mr.. Martin
has been Senator, there hasn't been a
single thing before Congress that would
help Virginia or any of her people, for
the success of which he has not worked
well and effectively. Statements that
are easily and conclusively re'uted
should not be made, as they do more
harm than good to the cause in which
thew are used. Martin men have been
elected wherever Mr.Jones has spoken;
the same has been the case with Gov
ernor Tyler, and probably it is well for
the latter that he and Mr.. Jones are
the only two people 10 the State who
have gone on the stump in his behalf

HELD FOR ASSAULT.-John Warwick,
colored, 90 years old, is held at No. 8
Police Station, Washington, for an at
tempted assault on Mrs. BERTHE Bow
den, who lives at No. HOS G street
northeast, that city. The arrest was
made yesterday afternoon by Detective
Samuel Brown, who had only the most
meager description of Warwick. Mrs.
Bowden was sitting on her front steps
on Thursday afternoon when Warwick
drew near and asked for work. Sus-
pecting that his purpose was not solely
to find work, Mrs. Bowden sought to
send him away without further CONVEX
sation. The man persisted so earnestly,
however, she was persuaded to show
him over the house in the hope of find
ing something to repair. Once in
doors his manner grew so insolenl
that she ordered. him out of the
house. At this Warwick turned
toward her, caught her and at.
tempted to assault her. Mrs. Bowden
screamed wildly for help, and fought the
negro with all her strength. Her screams
and the sound Of help approaching frightened
him and he ran away.
A report of the assault was made to the po-
lice, and Detective Brown was assigned 10 the
search for the negro. He was found late yes.
terday afternoon. At the station house he
gave his name and added that his age was
only Is years, although he seems at least five
years older. Mrs Rowden was summoned
and the negro brought before her. SHE iden.
titled him at once. The prisoner will probs
bly, be srraigned today and committed to
await trial in November for attempted as
sault.
Today Warwick was dismissed in the police
court.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
The Dreyfus Trial.

Rennes, Sept. 2.-Major Hartmann
resumed his testimony at the opening
of the court-martial today. The wit
ness explained that there was no strict
secret about the 100 gun or the ny
draulic brake. He said in 1890 an EN-
ployee named Boutonnet betrayed
description of the brake to German
agents. A year later description OF it
was printed and sold. Major Hart,
mann thought it was improbable that
a man of Dreyfus's position would have
used the term Hydraulic" for hydro
pneumatic, which was the ac-
knowledged term in describing the
brake.
General Deloye here disputed sew
eral points made by the witness Major
Hartmann's answers showed his knowl-
edge OF his subject.
M. Labor then began 10 question
Deloye, and soon the old general found
himself agreeing with Hartmann 10
many points and disagreeing with the
views OF MERCER, Gonse and Roget.
Could the general believe that the
terms employed in the bordereau
would allow any one to suppose that
the document had been written by
Dreyfus or eny artillery officer?
NO." replied General Deloye, and
then growing more positive, never;
on my soul and conscience, | cannot be-
lieve So" This change of front caused
a sensation. On Wednesday Deloye's
testimony tended to show that Dreyfus
could have been the author of the bor-
deau.
General MERCER next took the
stand. sits a small matter" he said,
"but will inform the judges that Ger
many called this brake hydraulic and
not hydro pneumatic Hence the use
of the former word in the bordereau"
To this Major Hartman replied quiet
": "But the Germans abandoned eX
periments with The brake in 1898"
Prof. Louis Havet then gave import
ant testimony in favor of the prisoner
he testified to peculiar use OF words
in the bordereau. Errors Identical
with those in the bordereau were to be
found in the letters OF Esterhazy, said
the witness, while he had never found
them in the writings of the accused.
At the request of NJ. Labor, the let
ters which passed between Picquart and
General Gonse at the time OF the for
mer's discoveries regarding Esterhazy,
were read to the court These showed
Gonse's uncertainty as to the author
ship of the bordereau, and how he ad'
vised Picquart to cautiously investigate
Esterhazy. NJ. Labor then tackled
General Gonse as to Henry's forgery.
Gonse replied that the matter was real.
