Paris, May 27.-Early this afternoon
it was rumored that the president of
the civil section of the Court of Cassa-
zion, M. Ballot de Beaupre, had report
cd TO the president of the Court of Cas-
satlon, M. Mazeau, in favor of a re-
vision of the Dreyfus trial and sending
the prisoner again before a court-mar-
tai. This later in the day was con-
iirmed by direct statement that the
president of the civil section had so re,
ported to the president of the Court of
Cessation.
1t is believed the report is practically

The Figaro publishes some notes
written by Dreyfus in November and
December OF 1894, while he was await
ing trial. These are as follows:
During the seventeen days follow
ing my arrest l underwent several ex-
aminations. An officer came in the
evening with his secretary-anger in
his eyes and insult on his lips. My
overtaXed brain could not stand more.
| always asked what We're the proofs
OF the accusation, but he refused to
show them, and said that the instru-
ment of my so-called crime was a let
ter. Why was l not shown it?
My condition became such that l
wished to commit suicide. l was mad
In the midst of my fever / took my
sheets and prepared to hang myself
from the window; but l reflected that,
if / died thus, all would think me
guilty, and that l must live in order to
cry aloud that | am innocent"
Dreyfus goes on to express astonish-
ment that he should be arrested and
dishonored because experts had as
serted that his writing was similar to
that of the discriminating letter.
Throughout the investigation they
said to him, You are lost. Nothing
can save you" Finally he was inform
ed, he says, that he would be sent be-
fore court-martial, as the presump-
tons of guilt were sufficient to war
rant it. Thus the Overwhelming

had become at the end of two months
