hA hnE IL n q
written upon precisely the same paper
az that used by Maj. Esterhazy. The
Judges In 1894 did not know this, and
vi. de Beaupre declared that on his
soul ana conscience, according to his
conviction, the bordereau was written
Dy Esterhazy. He deplored the attacks
OF fevlsionlsts upon the army, but said
that the honor of the army was not
dependent upon the retention OF an in
nocent on Devils island.

that Maj. Comte Ferdinand Walsin
Esterhazy called at its office the other
evening. and, after declaring that the
time had arrived when the whole truth
should be told although hitherto by
reason Of constant orders and induce
ments, he had kept silence on the es-
sential point, made the following
statement:
"The chiefs of the army have dis
gracefully abandoned me. My cup Is
full and / shall speak out.
Yes (raising his voice and glaring
arounD 1t was l who wrote the bor-
dereau. ! wrote II upon orders re-
ceived from Sandhorr."
Esterhazy, the Chronicle says. then
proceeded to explain that for months
before 1893 moral proofs had been OBJ
talned Of leakages which were only
possible through officers belonging to
the ministry of war, and 1t was neces-
sary to catch the guilty party by ma
terial evidence. Hence the bordereau.
