asked last week had a direct bearing on the
theory that there as band Of traitors in the
War Onlce OF which Dreytus was the leader.
Cernuschi will specify the three alleged accom-
plces at tho secret session tomorrow 1t is
easy to guess that EsterhaZy and Wall will bs
named as Dreyfus's companions In guilt. and
at length the Internal plot. which was fully
described in these DISPATCHES a week ago "a
the last resort OF tho General Staff stands
fully developed.
The PROPOSITION now definitely before the
Court is. that even il Dreyfus did no, write the
bordereau. he ia still a traitor. and the Judges
must deal with this theory instead OF taking
refuge in ar acuuittaI on the bordereau alone.
