that a compromise would be reached
The foreign element, however, ear

Although the Beers do not anticipate

from what l could learn there, active

This caused some sensation, as the

NJ. Ferret. a former secretary OF the

procure the information Dreyfus was

Colonel Berlin. who was the head Of
Drevfus' Office IN 1894. showed himself
to be the mos, virulent enemy of the
prisoner. He had evidently learned his
testimony by heart. and acclaimed it in
a strident, aggressive tone. which
grated upon the ears Of the audience.
Some of his remarks, particularly his
declaration that he was convinced Of
Dreyfus' guilt by NJ. Bertillon's chart
and his introduction Of Esterhazy's
statements as evidence against Dreyfus,
elected general smiles in court.
