This somewhat confused the Captain
who replied that he had not thought OF
it, but added that he adhered to to-
days statement about the character OF
the prisoner.
Dreyfus again being asked the usual
question, replied: II will not speak tc
the witness of private condolences he
has made to me. If Captain Juncke's
ideas of honor allow him to divulge pri-
vate conversation, mine do not. / have
clean hands, and I wipe them clean
But there are number of facts tC
which / will refer. I will speak first
in regard to all the losses it is said
sustained at the club at Mans. | de-
clare / was never a member of the
Civil Club at Mans; never visited 1T, and
consequently never gambled there.
am convinced that the members of the
club are very respectable, and ask you
simply to have an inquiry made in
order to know if I am speaking the
truth. In regard to the lectures in Of
fees of the headquarters staff, at
which it is asserted l was present, they
occurred in December, 1898. I was alb
sent at that time, and consequently did
not attend the lectures.
The prisoner then proceeded to show
that in July, 1894, the probationers
were informed by an official circular that
they were to pass period of proba-
tion in the army, the first yearers in
August and September, and the sec
ond yearers in October, November and
December Therefore, at a period
when there were no maneuvers

dispatch of troops at various points,
Dreyfus dwelt upon the fact that he
at that time was on a mission, and
was not at the maneuvers at all. The
second year probationers knew de-
f1nitely that they were to go to various
regiments in October, November and
December, and that consequently they
would not attend the maneuvers.
ST do not know what gossip the wit
ness had. retained in regard to Siam
and Madagascar I did not under
stand it very well. It is expected that
should greatly desire to participate
in any expedition. 1t is the natural
feeling of every officer, but I could new

there
Regarding the plans for provisioning
and conveying troops, the prisoner said
he superintended the printing of them,
turn about with other probationers. The
entire work did not devolve upon him,
and he only saw the small portion
through the printing press
When Dreyfus had finished speaking,
Colonel Jouaust invited NJ Bertullus to
speak, and the latter literally sprang
up the steps to the platform, and lean
ing sidewise against the witness box
and speaking slowly and distinctly, he
turned to the witness, Captain Juncke,
and said: Monsieur LIE Presidente, /
will not do Captain Juncke the honor
to reply to the particulars with which

visit of Henry to my office on July 18TH
/ explained everything before the Unit

M. Bertullus admitted that he left the
