Col. Jouaust gave the order present
arms to the guard of soldiers at the bot

JoUaust if he still maintained his refusal
to appoint the commission, the colonel hav-

Colonel Jouaust replied YES" and the

court had already made up its mind to ac-
quit the prisoner.

evidence of Col PicQuart, VI. Scheurer-
Kestncr and NJ Rodues proving he claim
ed, perjury somewhere. but not by the last
trio of witnesses. NJ. TrarieuX added that
