HeHdquarters Men Cheerful.


All the members of the Headquarters
group were present when the session was
resumed, and all seemed more cheerful
imam for days past. The proceedings be-
came animated from the outset.
Nj. Picot, member of the Institute of
France, began his testimony by bluntly
describing an interview with Colonel
schneider, the Austrian military attache,
at the house of friend. No sooner did
the witness pronounce the name and rank
of the Austrian military attache than
Major Carriere, the prosecutor, shrieked.
Il protest in the name of the govern
ment against the witness indiscretion."
Colonel Jouaust directed the witness to
use initials hereafter.
M. picot then indicated that Colonel
Schneider told him that the pieces emil
meratcd in the bordereau were of little
value and that Esterhazy was swindler
who cared for nothing except money.
Colonel Schneider also said that the petit
Dleu was genuine. Colonel Schwartz
koppcn wrote it on receiving a communi-
cation from Esterhazy. Then he changed
his mind, tore the paper up and threw
the pieces in the fireplace
The witness said that in a conversation
with Colonel Schneider in May, 1899,
schneider assured the witness that there
was no doubt of Dreyfus' innocence.
M. Demange, for the defense, empha
sized the testimony of this witness nv |
