give them information. On May II the same
thing occurred. The witness declared that the
shooting manual was not considered conflden-
tial in 1891. as the witness bought copy from
the regimental press of the Twenty ninth
Artillery for 20 confines. Prvates OF the
Tenth Regiment Of Artillery possessed copies
OF this book. proof OF which the witness had
procured. Essential extracts from the work
were published in Paris in 1894.
Captain lie Rond jumped up demanding the
right to refute the last witnesses statements.
He stalk ed up haughtiy to the platform and
declared the "120" cannon did not figure at
Chalons on the 9th and 9TH OF August.
Lieut.. Bruyere replied that he had not
spoken OF August. He had simply told OF
what he had saw in May.
Gen. Roget Jumped up and stalked to the
platform with his usual hectoring air He de-
clared that Lieut. Bruyere was no longer a
French officer. having resigned in an insolent
letter to the War ONCE. in which he stated that
he was ashamed longer to serve in the French
Army
Lieut.. Bruyare protested against this state
ment. denying that such was the text OF his
letter.
Gen. Roget-It is not the text. but it is the
sense.
Turning impntiently in the direction OF the
hall. Gen. Roget called Gen. Deloye. who in
formed the Court that BruyGre had been dis
missed from the army on because OF his letter.
Maltra Lahori demanded the production OF
this letter and Col. Jouaust promised that it
would be produced. The letter really attacks
NJ. De Caviagnac. former Minister OF War.
BoRDEREAU STATEMENTS EASILY AVAILABLE
Capt Carvalho testified that most OF the In
formation enumerated In the bordereau was
available to any body in 1894. Capt. lie Rond
contradlcted this statement.
NJ. labori read a letter received yesterday
from Secret Service Agent Corninges. saying
that he copied in the house OF a foreign spy in
1896 the firing manual Of 1925. showing that
there were still traitors in the War ONCE after
Drcyfus was condemned. NJ. Labor aske
the Court to summon Corninges.
Col Jouaust replied that il the individual
had addressed the information to him perhaps
he would have summoned him.
Col. Picquart confirmed the assertion in Cor
ninges's letter. saying he even suggested to
Gen. Deoye in 1895 that he call in all the
firing manuals in the Versailles district in
order to ascertain whose copy was missing.
Gen. Deoye attested the same thing.
Major Lauth volunteered the remark that
% hinges was member OF an association Of
low spies. OF which Lajoux was the chief
NJ Labor protested against auths'insinua-
ton. Major CarriGre also protested. Col
Jouaust declared the incident closed for every
body but Major Carrere paintively protested
| again that the defence got the floor whenever
it desired. while the Government prosecutor
was unable to obtain hearing. Tho audience
simply roared at this.
Gen. Sebert repeated his testimony before
the Court of Cessation. in which he argued
that the bordereau was not the work OF an ar
tillcry officer and the handwriting not Drey-
fuss.
EVIDENCE FOR DREYFUs.
Major Hartman affirmed that Germ any
know all about the "120" cannon named in the
bordereau four years earlier. 1t was delivered
to that Power by a civil employee in tho artil-
lery bureau.
Col. Jouaust asked tho witness not to 20 into
side issues. at which there were murmurs OF
protest.
Major Hartmann replied that his informa-
tion was OF great importance to tho defence.
He continued his technical evidence until
the arrival Of the recess hour.
After recess there was brief cross -ex ami
nation in the course OF which the witness dis
cussed Bertllon's wonderful system. finally
declaring it was Impossible ever to discover
the author OF the document
NJ. Bertilon jumped up in the court, shout
ing: Il ask the floor" Col Jouaust did not
even notice the excited little man. who pres
lence
Commandant Ducros repeated his testi-
mony before the Court OF Cessation.
He said no had offered Dreyius i'm
portant information in 1897 and 1893, which
would have been most valuable to him IL
he had been a SPY. but Dreyfus did not take
the trouble to come and get it. Dreyfus told
the witness in 1894 he was translating Wiles
German work on cannon Of the future. He
gave the witness the proofs Of the work. but
did not try to obtain secret information from
the witnesses department
Major Hartmann began a technical discus
sion Of artillery secrets which had been con-
sidered at Thursdays secret session.
Cen. Deloys protested against this. but the
Court ordered the witness to continue until
point WAS reached when it was necessary to
close the doors.
The tenor OF Hartmanns evidence shows It
was improbable II not i'm possible for Dreyfus
to have all the pieces enumerated in the
bordereau.
