known large numbers quilted the court

had appeared at the bar. IL this rate Is

will get through with the ninety odd
witnesses before the beginning OF Sep.

will be- delivered by September 9TH.
All OF the witnesses to-day were

Dreyfus with demimondaines proving
the most appetizing portion Of the morn

went the round OF the court room when
NJ. Gribelin even professed TO know the
amount Dreyfua had spent upon various
amours. NJ. Crib lin gave his testimony

NJ. de Mango. counsel for the defense,
was more successful than usual In cross

marks were put 30 lucidly that he ap-
peared to make An impression on the
judges. all OF whom were repnted to be

The session wound up with scene on
account OF the extraordinary conduct OF
Colonel Jonaust, president OF the court,
who parm!.tsd himself to make an I'M
warrantable display of partiality. M.
Bertullus has been confronted with the
last witness, Captain Junck, and General
GOnse had descended the latter, when
Colonel Picquart asked TO be allowed to
refute some OF Junck's remarks Colonel

and shouted: what aginY' An out
burst OF booing and Kissing came from
the audience at snch a display OF unfair

suppressed the noise, but Colonel Jouaust
understood the well merited rebuke ad-

NJ Gribelin, principal archivist OF the
headquarters staff, followed. He testi.

role by systematically denying the
