Gen. Mercier accused Maj. Freystaet-
ter of lying in the matter OF the Robni
shell, concerning a report accusing
Dreyfus OF communicating the details
of the shell TO Germany. Ffeystaetter
had said that it was included In the Sc

"Ishave caught Maj. Freystaetter In
the very act of lying" said Gen& Mer~
cier. amid the greatest sexcitent@ht In
the court. "for the Robnf shell was not
delivered until 1896"
Maj. Freystaetter replied, promptly
maintaining the truth OF his previous
statements and he spoke like an honest
man.
Col. Maurel, on the other hand. when
driven to confess. told untruths and
had tried to wriggle out Of II. He pre-
sented a despicable appearane. his
voice broken as though choking. while
his limbs were shaking with suppress-

Labori was hotly indignant at Gen.
Mercier's equivocation, and asked Col.
Jouaust again and again to have spc-
cial doctors make an official examina-
tion OF Coz Du Patty de Clam to see "
he was really incapable OF giving evi-
dence. But the president OF the court
refused. whereupon M. Labori beside

won't come here!'

Indignation. Col. Jouaust told M. La

Maurel and Gen. Mercier in an odious

BURIAL OF MRS. DE cARvALLo.
High Mnss Celebrated by Father

Funeral services were held yesterday
morning over the remains OF Mrs. Emma

cord Flats The Rev. Father Foley, of St

mass. assisted by Rev. DR.. Stafford, OF ST.

limitations, and said he had the right to
plead them. He did not need to plead
them, but the prosecutors required him to
do so. A military officer of high stand
ing had said that the moment he plead
the statutes he was convicted. After Car
ter plead the statutes first. he was requir-
ed to plead them fifteen additional times,
and under his counsel's advice he did so.
He took up the fifty five checks signed by
Captain Carter and said that after the
statutes had been pleaded and allowed the
checks were used as evidence against him
by his prosecutors. Mr.. MacVeagh said
that such things were done simply to con-
vict Carter. A witness was called to prove
these checks, although they had long been
settled. The court-martial was determin-
ed to convict Carter of everything with
which he was charged and 1t used every
means to this end.
Mr. MacVeagh next went into the his
tory of the case and reviewed Captain
Carter's record in awarding contracts, and
tried to show that he was convicted of con-
spiracy with the contractors, who were
overchargiDg the Government and cheating
laborers. He said this should have been
inadmissible as testimony against Carter.
Objections Summed Up.
After a contract is let by the Chief of
Engineers, approved by the Secretary of
War, and work actually commenced, Mr..
MacVeagh contended, the court martial
had no right to try Carter for manipulating
the contracts. He had advertised and
awarded the contracts to the lowest bid
ders. He obeyed the act of Congress, and
If the contractors made any amount of
money out of their work it was no evil
inst C-artnr ctlry 4 hon
against other engineers, the Chief of En-
gineers or the Secretary of War, who ap-
proved and let the contracts General Gill
more and every other engineer on the coast
had awarded contracts at times at higher
prices per yard for work than had Carter.
If Carter was scoundrel in this one con-
nection, why not these engineers and Off
GERS of the Government?
In. conclusion Mr. Macyeagh said he
prayed God a new trial would be ordered
in which witnesses whose testimony is val
liable to the accused officer could be heard.
He summed up the objections of Captain
Carter's counsel to the proceedings of the
court-martial by citing twenty errors
which he regarded as vital from
legal standpoint. Among these was the
ircapacity OF the court to summon
any except volunteer witnesses. allow
ing them to answer what they chose
and only what they chose: the fiouting By
the court of the 103d article of war, .just
as the Dreyfus judges iouted the findings
of the Court of Cassation:" refusal to be
bound by the rules of evidence; admitting
no reference of the case in hand to the
statute Of limitation; examination of the
private papers of Carter; the admission OF
