Labor concerned Lajoux, a spy for
merly in the service of the French war
office, but packed off to South America,
according to various military wit
nesses, because he proved swindler.
Labor asked how it was, if that were
true, that Lajoux was still receiving
monthly payments
Commandant Rollin, completely
taken aback, replied that a cessation Of
payments was under consideration.
NJ. Labor announced that he intend
ed to recall several witnesses who had
made dispositions during his absence.
This means that Mercier, Roget and
others, will be put to the test of a
severe cro5s-examination
Captain Dreyfus to-day pursued the
attitude he took up yesterday and re-
piled to the statements of hostile wit
nesses with arguments and the presen-
tation of counter-facts.

Der of bicycles drove UP. The first
carriage contained NJ Labori and his

MADAME REJANE.
The TESTIMONY.

Brief Resume of the Chief Points of
Interest Brought out in tba prooa..-
ings.
Inc first witness to-day was M. Gren-
Ter, the former project of Belfort. His
testimony was favorable to Dreyfus
and distinctly hostile to Esterhazy.
Major Rollin. of the intelligence de-
partment was asked by M. Labor dur
Ing the course Of the formers testi-
mony how certain document. of a
later date than Mercier's ministry. came
into Gen. Merciers possession. Rollin
said 1t was not his business to explain.
but counsel insisted, asking whose bus
mess it was.
Finally M. Labori asked Col. Jou-
aust to request Gen. Mercier to explain
The General rose and said he declined
to answer M. Labori insisted, but
MERCER still refused to answer, and
Major Carriere, the government COM
missary, supported him on the ground
that the examination was entering
upon matter which ought not, in the
interest of the country, to be discussed
publicly.
M. Labori then declared in a loud
voice that he would reserve to himself
the right to take the necessary meas
ures to obtain the desired informa-
ton.
The next point
WAS MADE BY DREYFUS,
in his reply to Major Rollin. The lat
ter had remarked that ali the prison
er's papers were seized when his rooms
were searched in 1894, and Col. Jouaust
said that certain papers from his text
book, the School of War, were found
missing. To this the prisoner retort-
ed:
mot in 1894, my Colonel"
This caused some sensation, as the
obvious Interpretation was that the
pages were torn out at the war Office
and that then the fact was used against
him as an insinuation that he had COM
municated the missing pages to foreign
agents
A porter of the war office, named
Ferret, next testified to seeing Dreyfus
prying into other officers work during
their absence, and the prisoner replied
hot CD
connections by former minister of
war. which caused a sensation. Then,
in a cooler manner the prisoner made
a statement explaining the difficulties
in the way of civilian such as Ferret
entering the offices of the general staff.
Gen. Gonse thereupon presented two
letters to the effect that the writers,
both of whom were civilians, obtained
easy admittance to the offices.
DreyfuS retorted that the regulations
were very strict in this respect and
that, therefore, some persons were
guilty of gross breach of discipline, and
NJ. Demange scored by adding that if
entry IN tneSe omceS was so easy,
why,
ANYBODY COULD, PROCURE
the information Dreyfus was alleged to
have obtained so surreptitiously.
The next witness. Lieut. Col Berth,
who was the head of Dreyfus' Office in
1894, showed himself to be most viru-
lent enemy of the prisoner. He had
evidently learned his testimony by
heart and declaimed it, in strident,
aggressive tone which grated upon the
edSs of the audience. Some of his re-
marks, particularly his declaration that
he was convinced of Dreyfus' guilt by
Al. Bertillon's chart and his introduce

M. Labor as demonstration which
would warrant him in clearing the
court. It began therefore with few
timid claps of the hands, but was soon
followed by general applause upon the
part of the whoe audience with the ex-
ception of d few standing at the back
of the court room.
AS M. Labori shook hands with Cen
erals Billot and Mercier, who smilingly
congratulated him on being able to re-
appear in the case the lawyer thanked
them for calling at his residence while
he was In bed.

room soon afterwards and having sa-
luted the Judges, turned to M. Labor
with outstretched hands. smile of
keen pleasure lighting up his pale and
usually impassive features. The law
yer took the prisoners hand and shook
it warmly, whereupon Dreyfus gave
him another look of gratitude and took
his seat In front OF couuSei idple, Win
his back towards them.
Col Jouaust next read from paper
an address Of M. Labori, the tone of
the president being quite sympathetic.
The lawyer made an impassioned re-
ply. H was deeply affected and his
voice was clear, though not so strong
as before he was shot. He was very
nervous and excited. and swayed to
and fro as he delivered his reply. His
hearers were profoundly impressed.
NJ. Labori's rply to the President con-
siderably fatigued him and he sat down
flushed and holding his side. He after
wards once or twice nervously twitched
his fingers and an expression fitted
over his face as though he were suffer-
ing.

HARTMAN, w. Va, August 22.--
After securing the mountains for two
days. all searching for Lautz was
abandoned, as given in the Register OF
the 18th, concerning Lautz's state
ment of his encounter with bear and
his securing a Winchester rifle and dis
appearing. 1t was supposed generally
that he had left the, country to escape
the officers, but as John Armstrong
and John Snyder. OF this place. were
hunting for the bear about five milesH
from here in a place she was said to
frequent. they found the rifle. and upon
examining the situation closely they
found signs OF an encounter, which
they followed for about half mile
down the mountain, where they found
Lautz sitting upon log with one leg
broken and some other scars upon his
body. He stated that the bear was
gone when he returned to the spot OF
his first encounter, but. as he knew
where some bear frequented about two
years before, he followed on in that
direction until he came in sight of the
old bear and two cubs. He fred at the
old one, but missed her and wounded
one of the cubs.
He commenced rapid firing at the old
one, but in his excitement failed to get
a fatal shot as she came at him. He
started to run, but she was too near
him and he attempted to fight her with
his gun, but in the struggle lost his
gun and fought on down the mountain.

not know just how long he remained
there, but when found was feeling some
better. He was carried to Hartman to

seems to settle all difficulties and they
