counted a conversation with a foreign

Ex-Judge Louderback for the prosecu-

General Roget added that he had declined
to receive other letters.
NJ. Labori then asked Colonel JouauSt
to have the letters read. Colonel Jouaust
at first declined but NJ. Labori insisted
so firmly that Colonel Jouaust, after
wrangling a while, gave way and consent
ed that the letters should be read later
Colonel Jouaust explained that he oppos-
ed the reading of the letters because they
only contained personal attacks upon va
rious parties and would only lead to a
prolongation of the trial:
General Roget then read the one Ester
hazy letter which fle admitted having
said he could not prove the existence of
the alleged syndicate organized in the in
terest of Dreyfus and complained that
the general staff had refused to give him
a fair hearing.
M. Labor then put series of questions
intended to bring out the fact that the
general staff had made use of Esterhazy
even after he was known to be unreliable.
General Roget said he had not consid-
cred Major Esterhazy's avowals to be of
NJ Labori sought to question General
Roget more closely on his statement that
none of the generals of the general staff
had any relations with Major Esterhazy,
but Colonel Jouaust declined to allow
further discussion This led to another
martial and counsel for the defense, M.
Labor declaring that General Roget, who
came more as public prosecutor than
as a witness, refused 10 reply TO proplng
questions.
Nj. Demange asked General Roget his
opinion of Major Esterhazy.
"I have an absolute conviction" replied
General Roget, amid cries of oh from
the audience, that Major EsterfNzy is a
stranger to treason.
General Roget then delivered short
discourse in reply to the statement that
NJ. de la Fond Lamotte on Saturday that
the phrase in the bordereau, "I am going
to the maneuvers.'' showed that Dreyfus
could not be the author of the bordereau.
General Roget maintained that Lamotte
was wrong.
Captain Dreyfus in clear voice en-
phaticaIly insisted that the circular OF

amined by the court during the time it
sat behind closed doors on this, the sec
end day of the fifth week of Captain AL
fred Dreyfus' trial on the charge of trea
son in communicating army secrets to a
foreign government.
The examination of the secret espionage
dossier mentioned by Captain Cuignet
during Yesterdays sitting of the court
martial occupied the greater part of the
secret session of the court.
When the open session began NJ. Labori
presented a formal application to the
court for an order upon Major Carriere,
the government commissary, to request
that interested foreign governments,
through diplomatic channels, communi-
cate to the court various documents rela--
ing to the bordereau. NJ. LabOri ex-
pldined the purpose of the application by
citing the fact that the court was now in
an extremely delicate situation and add
ed that he had pointed out to Major Car
riere Colonel SchwarZkoppen and Signor
Panizzard as witnesses he deemed neces-
sary to summon. NJ. Labori said he
thought this step would worry nobody
and that it was In conformity with pre-
cedents.
Major Carriere replied that he did not
think the government could ask another
government for the restoration of the doc
Cms nts He suggested that the defense
could obtain and submit the papers Off
cially to the court. He saw no objection
to hearing Colonel Schwarzkoppen and
Signor Panizzardi If they consented to
come.
n. Paleologue said that while NJ. La
boris request appeared quite logical and
inst there were diplomatic considerations
which made it inadmissible for the gov
ernment 20 take such initiative as was
proposed by counsel for the defense
Colonel Jouaust said the court would
Gecioe the matter later and meanwhile
prc eed with the taking of evidence.
The first witness called to-day was Re-
porter Bassett, whom the. Matn sent to
The witness deposed that Esterhazy con-
fessed to him that he wrote the bordereau
under orders from Colonel Sandherr. Who
