VI. Labori Appeals tn Emperor Will

Behalf of Capt. Dreyfus.

Rennes, Sept On. Labor Tuesday
afternoon telegraphed personal appeals
to Emperor William and King Humbert
to grant permission to Col. Schwartz
koppen and Col. Panizzardi, German
and Italian military attaches in Paris
in 1894, to come to Rennes to testify
in the trial of Capt. Dreyfus. This Is
the news of the day and the chief topic
of conversation in the cafes and resorts
of the journalists. The appeals were
couched in eloquent terms, invoking
the assistance of their ma esties in the
name of justice and humanity. They
are quite supplementary to the formal
application that will be made by the
government commissary, Maj. Carriere.
The appearance of Coils. Schwartz
koppen and Panizzardi would be the
most sensational as well as the most
important incident of the entire trial
Their dispositions would be a formal
and emphatic declaration that they
never had any relations with the ac-
cused, and they would make such a
statement that the court must order
an acquttal. Those who are in the con-
fidence of the counsel intrusted with
the defense express firm conviction
that Dreyfus will now be acquitted.
