Roget Again on the Stand,

General Roget asked to be confronted
with the witness and said the latte
wrote NJ. Cavaignac, then minister O.
war, a violent letter Of resignation il
which he declared it was a dishonor t.
serve in the French army.
This declaration caused q scene. fol
Lieutenant Bruyere, turning to Genera.
Roget, cried:
II protest against General Roget's
words. | affirm that l never said any
such thing"
General Roget then backed down, say
ing:
well, that was the general sense of
the letter"
"A roar of disgust came from the audi
ence at this apparent underhandedness
upon the part of the general, and Lieu
tenant Bruyere again emphatically de-
clared General Roget vas wrong.
Maltre Labor, leading counsel for the
defense, and Colonel Jouaust agreed that
the letter should be obtained from the
ministry of war and read in court. The
lieutenant expressed satisfaction at this
step, while the general returned to his
seat with less buoyancy than he left it.
The next witness. Captain Carvalho, a
handsome young artillery officer, proved
an excellent reinforcement for Dreyfus.
He gave his evidence clearly and boldly.
and omphatically declared that there
were no special precautions to keep the
mechanism of the "12O short' eun Sc.
cret. Moreover, he added, from April,
1894, the artillery officers had a descrip-
ton of the hydro pneumatic brake given
them.
Here" said Captain Carvalho, "is an
actual copy of the manual, which 1 hand
over to the court MARTIAL"
Another Trump Card For reyfu
General Sebert followed. He also
proved a trump card for Dreyfus, as he
declared the wording of the bordereau
revealed professional ignorance. He also
said the man who wrote it was not an
officer, and said such an officer
as Dreyfus could not make the mistakes
he referred to.
General Sebert entered into lengthy
explanations of his statements, pertinent
~ rointlng out that an artillery officer
would have known the interesting parts
the hring manual and would not have
written in the bordereau take what in

The general again declared %emphatical.

ROGET BACKSDOWN
His FruitlesS Attempt to Prejudice
the Prisoners Case-Dreyfus Makes
q strong Denial of Accusa-
lions Against Him.

Rennes, Sept. 2.-Immediately after the
opening Of the fifth session of the fourth
week of the second trial by court martial
Of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, charged with
treason, the president Of the court, Colo
mel Jouaust, aroused the interest Of the
audience by r%emarking:
"Maitre Labor, the other day, asked
that information be obtained regarding
the character of a certain witness. l
would not have acccded if the witness
had not expressed a similar desire. In
formation which has now reached me will
be read"
The clerk Of the court accordingly read
a report regarding Nj. Du Breuil, the
Partisan friend of M. de B~eaurepaire,
who testified Aug. % to the effect that
Dreyfus met a German attache at the
house of a mutual friend named Bodson,
and whose cross examination reflected
severely on his reputation. The report
was to the effect that M. du Breuil
never was a horse dealer, as claimed by
M. Labor, and that the character of the
witness was most respectable, he being
held in general esteem.
A groom named German then deposed
to seeing Dreyfus at the German army
maneuvers in Alsace. Colonel JOuaust
questioned Dreyfus on this point.
The general effect of the testimony OF
these TWO witnesses was rather unfavor-
able to the prisoner.
German declared he saddled a horse
for Dreyfus to follow the m%aneuvers, and
he said that Major Infreville accom-
panied Dreyfus riding, adding that the
major told the witness the name of his
companion.
Colonel Jouaust questioned Dreyfus,
who replied:
Il emphatically reassert that 1 never
met any foreigners at NJ. Bodson's, and |
beg the court to make such inquiries as
are necessary to ascertain the truth of
this point.

Strong Testimony For Breyfus.

The next few witnesses, however, gave
strong testimony in favor Of Dreyfus and
sadly knocked Germain's testimony
about. His employer. a man named
kuhlnIan. got up and declared that all
Germain had said was untrue and Major
lnfreville followed and declared he never
knew DreyfuS. so Germans illusions to
him were bnseless.
Captain le Monnier, who was a pro-
batloner on the headquarters staff at the
same time as Dreyfus, deposed that the
prisoner told him he was well acquainted
with a certain German position because
he had followed the Alsatian maneuvers.
Dreyfus replied that Captain lie Mon
nier must have mixed up his remarks.
The prisoner added that he was ac.
quainted with that part of Alsace be-
cause he had spent his youth there and
not because he was present at the ma
neuvers of the German army there.
A witness named Villon then told a
tale of how he overheard a conversation
In a Berlin cafe between two German
officers in which a remark was made
that mobilization plans We're expected
from Dreyfus. The cafe, however, has
since disappeared, and as there are no
means of verifying Villon's story it GER
tainly should not have much effect on
the Judges.
Two or three witnesses in support of
Dreyfus on artillery questions were next
heard, and Commissary Fischer testified
that he was charged to investigate the
leakage of documents at the gunnery
school at Bourges and found nothing to
ineriminate Dreyfus.
Lieutenant Bernheim testified that he
lent Esterhazy documents dealing with
artillery and was unable to get them
back, and Artillery Lieutenant Bruyere,
who attended n gunnery course at Cha
Ions. testified that it was easy for an
to obtain particulars about the
guns. He said that he himself had on
occasion lent his firing manual to an
infantry officer.
