that Picquart had tried to substitute
Dorval for Dreyfus as the traitor, Pic
quart said that the former was under
strict surveillance for a long time by or.
der of General Zurlnden. He added
that it would have been impossible fol
Dreyfus to have written the bordereau
and concluded his testimony with the
statement that il Dreyfus got the note
about Madagascar he was smarter than
his chief (PicquarD, who had not at that
time received it. Picquart further testi-
fled that he first saw the secret dossier in
August, 1896, at which time he made an
exhaustive examination of the documents
contained In it. He discussed them one
by one and explSined De CLAIMS part in
manufacturing the case against Dreyfus.
Certain Of the pieces in the diplomatic
dossier he demonstrated to be forgeries.
Others he proved could not possibly be
construed as pointing to Dreyfus' treason.
He then startled the court by the state
ment that war map and other papers Of
the greatest Importance had disappeared
from the bureau after Dreyfus had been
transported. Answering the allegation
that he had selected Esterhazy as d vic
tim because of his dislike for him, he
said that he had not known of Ester.

tigation of the Dreyfus matter. Henry
