To this the witness replied: No. He
did not say that. He said: You know
very well in whose interests l acted.
Meaning that he acted in the interests
of the country. He used to say to me
For thirty-three years l have never
acted except in the interest of the coun-
try"
ACKNOWLEDGED FORGERY.
Nine. Henry then remarked: you
know his sentiments, gentlemen, He
committed forgery on account of Colo
mel Picquart's proceedings, and it was
In order to save the army, compromised
by the dishonesty of it's enemies" Pro-
found sensation)
Did you ever hear" Colonel Jouaust
asked the witness, 'of letter Colonel
Henry is said to have addressed to Ma
jor Esterhazy?"
Never" replied Nine Henry. On
leaving the witness box Nine. Henry
looked sternly at the prisoner
Madame Henry, before concluding
her testimony returned to the subject
of the forgery. She evidently thought
she could eXonerate her husband by
saying he believed he was justified, in
the interests of the country, in inserting
in the existing dossier new and con-
vincing material, proof of which had
reached him verbally few days before.
Turning to M, Demange. the witness

mean"
mo" promptly replied counsel for the
defense.
| In answer to question of Colonel
Jouaus Madame Henry declared she
! did not know the name Of the person
who had given her husband this verbal
! Information.
! General Roget followed. He travers-
ed the old ground, giving his reasons
for his conviction of the guilt of Drey-
fus. He declared there was no charge
against Esterhazy, with the exception
of the resemblance of his handwriting
to that of the bordereau. Moreover, the
witness added, there had been new
fact since the judgment of the court of
cessation, namely, Esterhazy's confess
sion that he wrote the bordereau
ESTERHAZY UNRELIABLE.
But, he added, Esterhazy advanced
and withdrew his confession intermit-
tently. If Esterhazy had rendered SER
vice to the intelligence department
there would have been traces Of them in
the cash book. But no money had been
paid Eeterhazy, though, even supposing
he worked out of pure benevolence, he
would have been paid. Yet, there was
no trace OK such payments. Esterhazy
had said he wrote the bordereau under
the orders of Colonel Sandherr.
who knew Colonel Sandherr well, de-
clare that IS false. Colonel Sandherr
was absolutely Incapable of such an or
der. I add that it is inadmssable be-
Cause Colonel Sandherr was the last
person to know of the existence of the
bordereau, which was received in the |
ordinary way. This bordereau was
handed to Colonel Henry and was
brought by him to the intelligence de-
partment. 1t was shown to others by
Colonel Henry after he had pieced it to- !
gether. Colonel Sandherr only saw it
later
"Esterhazy has also said the document !
was stolen from an embassy and |
brought by porter. It is false to say
that the intelligence department ever
embassy. Il is possible Esterhazy is
some surprises for us between
now and the end of the trial They
won't disturb me any more than other
Referring to the question of the COM
plcity of Henry and Esterhazy, the
witness said
IF Henry had been the accomplice of
how can it be admitted that
he, himself, brought the bordereau
which might have caused him to be
to the intelligence depart
ment ?"
ROGET'S ANIMUS.
General Roget, while testifying, con-
stantly turned toward the prisoner, to
see the impression made by his deposit
ton, which was, virtually a speech for
he prosecution. The general discoursed
IN the famous scene with Colonel Henry

ming magistrate, and said NJ Bertuus
asked Henry to inform the witness that
lie, Nj. Bertulus, was a friend of the
,rmy, and begged to call and see him,
when he would communicate the result

The general added that M. Cavaienac. t
