GENERAL GONsE TRIES TO TRAP HIM.
General Gonse asked permission to question
NJ. Colbert and said I'm what army list did
you look for the name Of Dreyfus"
NJ Gobert-I used the list which is generally
kept in business houses.
The General pointed out that this list did not
give the information claimed by NJ. Colbert.
Rut the witness maintained that he had stated
nothing but the pure and simple truth.
General Gonse having alluded TO certain UNI
desirable acauaintances formed by NJ Colbert
the latter replied, amid sensation in court: 81
emphatically protest against the insinuations OF
General Gonse There Is not a single word OF
truth in what he says"
There was a further dispute between General
Gonse and NJ. Colbert over circumstances In
connection with the witnesses examination OF the
bordereau. NJ. Colbert said that Colonel d'Abe-
Vile was present, but the Colonel promptly ad-
vanced, and said that he had never seen NJ. Go
bert before to-day, adding: IF M. Gobert's
other recollections are as exact as this. the
Court will draw its own conclusions" (Mur-
murs OF dsapproval)
Dreyfus here declared in the most positive
manner that he had never been at the Bank OF
| France. where NJ. Colbert was employed. nor had
relations with any one there. The prisoner
| asserted that his sole desire was TO know the
| truth. He admitted he had been engaged in
various financial operations. but said he had
never asked either for written or verbal nfor-
nation from the Bank of France
