| ing the contents of secret documents
and with attempting to suborn olilcers
in connection with the Petit Bleu' II
! was then that Picquart learned OF the
| existence of the forged secret documents
directed against himself, and forsaW MS
own ruin if the Dreyfus affair was re-
opened, and, to safeguard himself, ne
| entrusted to lawyer friend certain
letter from General Gonse, at the same
time acquainting the lawyer with what
he knew of Esterhazy, and instructing
the lawyer how he should intervene, If
the occasion demanded it," This law
yer, M. Leblois, communicated with M.
| Scheurer-Kestner then one OF the wee
presidents of the senate, and the repre-
sensations of the latter to Premier, Me-
lines government followed.
| When Picquart's furlough was over,
| General Leclerc commanding in Tunis,
was ordered to send Picquart to the
| frontier of Tripoli. Leclerc commented
| to the witness on his abnormal order,
and Picquart confided to the general the
probable reasons for it, and his belief
in the innocence of Dreyfus. General
Leclerc thereupon ordered Picquart not
to go beyond Gabes
In the meanwhile the campaign in
| Paris was continued. Esterhazy ap-
peared among the witnesses and accus-
ers. Picquart here created a sensation
| by incidentally remarking that the
judges in 1894 were shamefully deceived
in having the document containing the
words "Cette canaille de D." commu-
nicated to them. He bitterly recited the
| details of the various Vaccinations,
with the view of discriminating him, in
stigated by Henry, Esterhazy and Du
| Patty de Clam.
Colonel Jouaust, president of the
| court, having asked for an explanation
on certain points, Piquart said: IF
tell you all this, gentlemen, it is to
show what must have been the mental
attitude towards me of the members of
the court martial which tried Ester
hazy." (Murmurs Of assent.)
When he resumed his deposition, the
witness said he regretted he had not
been given the opportunity to contradict
his accusers at that court martial.
Il have almost finished my task"
added Picquart but 1 ask permission
to refer to the way the bordereau came
to the war office ] have doubts in re
gard to the person who brought the
bordereau. Two quite different persons
could certainly have delivered the Dor
dereau in 1894. But, if an intelligent
person had delivered it, he would Ger
tainly have insisted on the value of it's
contents"
