The Judge Gets Angry-The Crowds
Hooted and Yelled-O1d Scandals Are
Brought Out-Dreyfus Gives Better
Impression.

the Dreyfus court martial began without
incident. The possible temperance OF M
Labor attracted a large audience at the
Lycee, but though he is progressing as
satisfactorily as possible, his physicians
deemed it best for him to remain quiet.
When it became known that the dlstln-

the proceedings, large number OF dlsap-
pointed persons quilted the court room.
The court settled down to business

had appeared at the bar. If this rate Is
continued it is considered the court Will
get through with the 80 ordered witnesses

room when Gribelin even professed 10

upon his various amours. GrlDeln gave
his testimony with an honest demeanor
but nothing in his appearance would con-
tradict the contention of the Dreyfusards
that he was Major Laths' tool in the
Vaccinations of the general staff against
Colonel Picquart, who listened to Grlbelln
