NJ. Temps detailed successive steps in his
Investigations showing how Lieutenant
Colonel Henry and Commandant Lauth had
brought pressure to bear to make him i'm
plicate Lieutenant Colonel Picquart and
their angry threats when the witnesses re-
port did not suit them. They accused the
witness of being influenced by some one.
Replying to NJ Demange. NJ. Temps said
he had only once mixed up Esterhazy in
connection with the report. Esterhazy had
been seen at a foreign agents residence,
which had two exits, and had other sus-
picious relations. Witness had found cor

sertion to the effect that Paulmier, the
valet of Colonel Schwartzkoppen, the Ger
man military attache, had seen plans of
fortresses signed by Dreyfus on his mas
ter's table. Hennion had furnished a type
written report on the subject showing that
Paulmter never saw or ever said he had
seen such documents.
NJ. Labori pointed out that the headquar-
tiers staff had alleged that the detective
peared and that his address was unknown
Probably, NJ. Labor suggested, the gentle
men at headquarters merely misunderstood
the report of the detective.
Commandant Cuignet attempted to explain
that the police report indicated that Paul
mier had disappeared, but that afterwards
1t was discovered that the police were
| wrong.
Captain Junck corroborated the statement
of Commandant Cuignet and said that the
police had furnished a written report.
| NJ. Labori much regretted that this re-
| port could not be found and added amidst

| case. It is always impossible to get at the

view of refuting the evidence of NJ. Tomps
Lauth declared that no one in the statist
ical section dreamed of suspecting Picquar
| when the inquiry was ordered as to how the
| Matin secured the bordereau. Suspicion at
