COURT EVIDENCE MADE PUBLIC
Witnesses Show that Whit Little
Dreyfus Knew Of War Office Sc
crets Was Public Property.

PARIS, April S-The Figaro today con-
tinued its publication of evidence before the
court of cessation in the Dreyfus case and
gave the deposition of Major Hartmann of
the Twentysecond artillery, who was called
as witness for the defense. In addition to
the facts already cabled, Major Hartmann
deposed that he knew about the hydraulic
brake since 1881, gave full details of its
manufacture and cited the case of NJ. Bou-
tonnete, an employe of the Archives de-
partment who was sentenced in 1890 for
giving a foreign attache secret documents,
including details of the brake, which were
not modified from 1890 to 1894
The major also handed the court the text
of lecture delivered at the military school
of st. Cyr in 1892, describing the brake and
said he did not believe the documents in the
bordereauX came from an officer attached to
the war Office as the brake had not been
tested at the Artillery school in 1894. He
further said he had been connected for
eight years with the technical section and
never knew Dreyfus to see the documents.
The major testified that foreign artillery
officer could easily obtain any information
about the cannon of 100 calibre
In regard to the frontier troops Major
Hartmann cited articles from the military
journals giving full information on the sub
ject months anterior to the date of the
bordereaux. Referring to Madagascar, wit
ness said he thought the bordereaux referred
to notes of a conversation heard by some
officer, who thought them of sufficient in
terest to send. Besides, he added, 1t was
easy to obtain information about the NADIA
gascar expedition.
The major then gave details of the Robin
she'll, which, he explained, has no re-
semblance to the German shrapnel shell
found in its manufacture.
Replying to the president Of the court of
cessation. the witness said the libraries of
the military clubs of Paris and Versailles
had copies of the lectures delivered before
the military schools, but so far as he knew
none of them was missing.
The Echo de Paris says 1t learns the court
of cessation is about to order a supplement
tai investigation of the points raised by the
evidence of General Roget and examining
magistrate Bortulus, who will be confronted.
Lieutenant Colonel Picquart will also be ex-
amlned, according to the statement made.

SPITE OF UNKNOWN FIEND
Fatal Fire in New York Proves of al
Incendiary Origin.
FEUD AMONG SERVANTS STARTS TROUBLE
Anonymous Letter Directs Employers
to Discharge Mary Flanagan,
Failure to he Followed by
Brutal Revenge.

NEW YORK, April S.-Despite reticence
on the part of the police, facts became
public today which made it apparent that
the fire which destroyed thirteen persons
was of an incendary origin. 1t transpired
that few hours before the flames were
seen a policeman was sent for from the
Andrews house, and was mysteriously dis
missed by a servant, who said he was not
wanted. Letters threatening the lives of the
Andrews family and the children of Mrs.
st. John were found.
1t is believed that the motive for incen-
diarism was revenge, and that the affair
arose out of a quarrel among the servants.
Foley, the butler in the Andrews family,
is under surveillance, and the police are
hard at work investigating the clews, which
chiefly rest upon the anonymous letters.
Mary Flanagan, the dead maid servant,
seems to have been a central figure in this
alleged plot and the chief object of the
supposed perpetrators hate.
The police today gave out three scurrilous
letters which had been sent to members of
the Andrews household One was addressed
to the servant, Mary Flanagan The let
ters made charges against Mary Flanagan
and the butler.
In letter addressed to Mrs St. John the
writer said: Il hope you and Mrs. Andrews
don't think for one moment that | am rec
onciled or pacihed with Mary Flanagan,
for, indeed, | am not, and what is further,
will not be until / get my revenge. | feel
that have given warning enough and / am
going to fix her far life, and because you
and Mrs. Andrews did not give heed to the
warning I'm going to fix you, too. I'm 60
