What Influenced the Judges.

Rennes, Sept. II Now that the
smoke OF the Dreyius tral has cleared
away, it is learned from those in the
confidence of the generals and the
Judges that three things turned the
scale against Dreyfus First, the judges
We're convinced that the accused was
not telling the truth, saying be was
30 fearful of admitting anything that ne
denied having known points which 1t
Is obvious any French officer must have
known, and which it would have been
harmless for MIN TO admit. Another
tuiog proving this was his denial OF
having seen the German manoeuvres
az Muhouse and his subseq uent ad-
mission that perhaps be did see them.
The second point against him not
clearly brought out in the evidence,
bnt which was brought TO the cognl
nee of the judges, was that Madame
B)dson, whom Dreyfus admitted had
b zen his mistress before his marriage,
kept house which was a notorious re-
-ort for shady military characters both
French and German. To say the least /,
it was the height Of indiscreton fot
any French officer to be seen there
The third point was Labori'5 manner
IN conducting the defense. 10 his ef-
.orts to convince the judges, he made
a complete failure and instead irrila,ed
and antagonized them. These points,
while in themselves not bearing on the
innocence OF the accused, ana trihing
in comparison TO the evidence in mis-
avor, were weghty in confirming the
5 -picions of men already bitterly prtj
udlced against Dreyfus.
