that owing to political troubles, he had
been obliged to seek refuge IN france
from September, 1894, until 1881. While
| he was in France, the letter explained, d
friend connected with the foreign once
of another country menioned to MIN the
names of certain French correspondents
of other powers. The first and most
important of these names, the writer as
serted, was that of Dreyfus.
Another of M. Cernuschi's friends, &C
cording to the witness, showed him I'M
portant military papers, such as route
maps for mobilization of troops, docu-
ments relating to the transport of troops
diagrams of Eastern railways, etc, which
! he declared came from Dreyfus, remark
ing further that everything was procur-
able in France by the payment of money,
and adding:
Whats the good of having Jews. II
yoI don't make use of them?
Two days later, the letter said, NJ. Ger
nuschrs friend precipitately left Paris
and DreyfuS was afterwards arrested
The letter concluded with saying that M
Cernuschi told all this to an officer or
the war office, who wrote it down.
LABORI DEMANDS FACTS.
NJ. Labor declared that since the prose-
cution had applied abroad for evidence,
which the defense had always caretuliy
abstained from doing, he reserved the
right to use every possible diplomatic
means to ascertain if documents men
toned in the bordereau had been betray-
ed, and, If so, by whom.
NJ. Labor asked the witness the ma
tionality of persons mentioned in the
letter.
NJ. Cernuschi-I will give them in ca
mera.
M Labori-As I mean that this witness
shall testify under oath, l ask that
secret session be held tomorrow intend
to notify the other side Of his name. He
must testify under oath, for I wish the
parties against whom his evidence is
brought should have all the guarantees
the law allows.
M Andre, clerk of M. Bertulus, judge
of the court of cessation, testified to
hearing Lieut. Col Henry say to M.
Bertulus:
Don't insist, beg of you. Above all
we must save the honor Of the army.
Witness also heard Lieut.. Col. Henry
say:
Leave me Esterhazy and let Du Patty
de Clam blow out his brains. That's all
I ask
After minor testimony, tending to dis
credit the witness Savignaud and mega
tive testimony Of NJ. Hadamard, a cousin
of Dreyfus, but who did not know the
prisoner, and therefore could not have
made allegations against his private life
as asserted, M. Painleve, professor In the
College of France, followed at the bar.
M Painleve eXhaustively criticised NJ.
Bertillon's cryptogram system, citing in
support of mis- conclusions the opinion
OF M. Henri Poincaire, to his mind the
most eminent mathematician, who an
swered seriatim the deductions of M.
Bertillon and demonstrated their falsity,
also pointing out miscalculations made
! by Capt. Valerio M. Poincaire's letter
fully supported M. Demands conclusions.
The reading of Prof. Poincaire's letter
having been concluded, NJ. Painleve re-
peated his evidence before the court of
cessation. He vehemently protested
against the false versions that had been
published of his conversations with M.
Hadamard, in which the latter was made
to affirm the guilt of Dreyfus. On the
contrary, the witness said, M. Hadamard
never doubted the prisoners innocence.
GONSE CREATES CONNECTION.
Gen. Gonse interviewed at this juncture
He was surprised, he said, at the i'm
portance attached to the evidence of NM.
Hadamard and Painleve. There had been,
Gen. Gonse asserted, at least fluctuations
in their views Of Dreyfus' character for
which Dreyfus' own family were unwill-
ing to give guarantees.
M. Painleve asserted that both M. Had
amard and himself had always been sat
isfed that Dreyfus was innocent. AS the
alteration between Gen. Gonse and M.
Painleve was rapidly becoming heated,
M. Labor interviewed. A sharp passage
at arms followed between NJ Labor and
Col. Jouaust, leading to considerable ex-
element.
M. Labor asked Gen. Gonse why he
had incorrectly reported certain informa-
ton he had collected.
Col. Jouaust refused to put the ques-
tion and invited M. Labor to study mod
GRAFTON.
M. Labor said Gen. Gonse had included
information in the secret dossier, and
asked Gen. Gonse who made up the secret
dossier.
Gen. Gonse-I composed one of the Sc
cret doSsiers by means of annexed docu-
ments communicated to the ministry, but
the minds of all the war ministers were
these documents.
M. Labori-Does Gen. Gonse assume re-
sRonsibility for those secret dossiers to
July, 1898?
Gen. Consoles, I had charge Of 1t.
M Labori-How happens 1t, then, that
telegram from the French ambassador
at Rome, sent by the foreign Office to
the war office, referring to payments to
EsterhaZy by an Italian agent, was not
added to the secret dossier?
Gen. Gonse-There were plenty Of 9TH
ers. All were not included, but only the
most important.
JOUAUsT SHOWS TIIs HAND.
Commandant Cuignet, who made up the
secret dossier, replying to Col. Jouaust,
explained that he omitted everything
anafinY from Poraiuparc
and misleading to France. Several docu-
ments of this kind had been omitted, par

attache, In the course OF which the SOW
ereign was represented as saying that
what was occurring In France was proof
of the power of the Jews.
That" added Commandment Cuignet,
might be regarded as against Dreyfus.
but, nevertheless, 1t was not included in
the dossier'
M. Demange expressed surprise that
the document in question had not ap-
peared in the war Office dossier
Commandant Cuignet-It does not ap-
pear there because 1t was received at
the foreign Office.
M. Labor said that he must insist that
all these documents must be produced
at the secret session of the court-martial,
at which NJ Cernuschi is to be exam
ined.
After brief suspension of the court
martial DR.. Peytor deposed that he met

Col. Henry, and that M Bertulus mar
rated to him the dramatic scene In his
Office with Henry.
M. Bertulus was very jubilant over
Henrys arrest and said he was con-
WINGED that If Henry was detained every
thing would be known in due time.
