Rennes, Aug. 22.-The third week az
the Dreyfus court martial bean without
incident The possible reappeaEancs Of n.
Labor attracted large audience at the
Lycee, but though he i progressing ~
satisfactorily Is possible, his phynicians
deemed 1t best for him to remain quiet.
When 1t became known that the distin-
guished lawyer would not participate II
the proceedings. large number Of disap-
pointed persona quilted the eourt room.
The court settled down to business
quickly and by O'Clock i've Witnesses
had appeared at the bar. II this rate 3
continued It is considered the court win
get through with the 90 ordered witness
before the beginning Of September and it
i expected the verdict win be delivered
by September z.
All the witnesses Monday were hostile
to DTeyfus but none Of their evidences vas
fresh. The audience followed the depO-
sitions with comparatively little intrsst,
. reference by n. Gribelin to the reIa-
tons Of Dreyfns with the demi-mondainss
proving the most appetizing portion u
the mornings proceedings
A subdned litter went round the court
room when Gribelin even professed to
know the exact amount Dreyfus spent
upon his various amourA Gribelin gave
his testimony with an honest demeanor
but nothing in his appearance would con
tradict the contention Of the Dbeyfusards
that he was Major Laths' tool IN the
Vaccinations Of the general stat against
Colonel PinquaTt. who listened to Gribelin
with an air eontemptuous impatience.
II. Demange, counsel for the defense.
was more successful than usual In cross
examining him, and visibly disconnected
Gribelin- The counsel scored q distinct
hit when he got Gnbelin to admit that he
mixed in the intrigues Of De Clam and
Henry to shield Esterhazy, and whea
Gribelin was finally disposed Of his evil
dence had suffered badly.
Dreyfus created a better impression To-
day. He entered the court room with q
more confident bearing and replied TO the
witness in a calm voice without any
theatrical gestures, and his remarks were
put 80 lucidly that he appeared to make
an impression on the judges, all Of whom
are rePuted to be bitterly opposed to him
The session wound up with a scene on
account Of the extraordinary conduct Of
Colonel Jouaust, president Of the court,
who permitted himself to make an unwar-
ranted display of Partially. Bertullus
had been confronted with the last witness,
Captain Junck, and General Gonx had de-
tended the latter, when Colonel Pscquart
asked to be allowed 10 refute some Of
Junck's remarkA Jouaast made a gesture
of impotence, and shouted:
what, againf"
An outburst Of booing and kissing came
from the audience at such a display q
unfairness- The judges and gendaTmes
quickly suppressed the noise, but Jouansk
understood the well-merited rebuke admin
istered to him, turned rid and adjourned
court 10 minutes later.
