COUNSEL SHOWS HIS ANGER.
This scene was the climax Of the strained re-
lations which have prevailed between CoIohel
Iouaust and NJ Labor almost from the very
outset Of the trial NJ. Labor has many times
bitterly complained that Colonel Jouaust pre-
vented him from putting probing questions
and for the moment NJ. Labor abstained from
asking witnesses such questions. In view Oh
the manifest irritation displayed by the presl-
dent of the court whenever NJ. Labor mas risen
TO his feet in the last few days. however, 'he
advocate resumed his former aggressive cross
examination methods resulting IN to-day
crisis. NJ Labor was extremely excited ana
hardly able to contain himself with indigna-
ton. and when afterward asked If he had any
questions to put TO other witnesses he replied:
mo, nothing at all.
Major Gallopn, officer Of the artillery, was
then examined. He proved a rather unfavor-
able witness for Dreyfus, whom he declared ne
once met on the Boulevard ST. German carry
ing a voluminous package which he said con-
tanned secret papers treating Of mobilization
and which he was carrying to the Geographical
Bureau Dreyfus was questioned regarding this
statement by Major Gallopin, and admitted that
he sometimes took documents home to facilitate
work but he said that he did not recall the
particular incident to which Major Galopin re-
ferred This admission by Dreyfus made bad
impression, especially when the next witness
Major Hirsch-Auer deposed that he heard Drey-
fus express a desire 10 go 10 the man9uvres.
Major Hirsch-Auer, however could not remem-
Der the exact date.
Captain Dreyfus replied: 1T is very possible
that I expressed regrets that would be unable
to 20 to the manpuvres; and. what is certain
we all knew that none of the probationers would
Co."
Lieutenant Colonel Picquart was called to the
witness stand. and said that Dreyfus never ap-
piled to him for leave to go to the manPuvres
adding that he was surprised that no inquiry
had been made upon this point of the chief Of
Dreyfus's bureau.
Colonel Jouaust then read a letter from the
colonel of the l3Sth Regiment Of Infantry, dated
last Saturday recalling the date Of the report on
Madagascar. which had enabled him to fix the
date of the bordercau as August. 1894 This re-
port, he added was drawn up in the Third Bu-
reau Of the General Staff, and consequently an
irdiscretion might have been committed by an
officer employed in the bureau
PATTY DE CLANS DEPOSITION.
The deposition Of Lieutenant Colonel Du Patty
de Clam. which was taken by Magistrate Taver-
ner was then read. It was more remarkabl
as being a repetition Of his former evidence than
as containing any new revelation. This was
what the defence feared and the reason they
declared that they had little faith in the result
OF an ex-parte examination.
In HIS deposition Lieutenant Colonel Du Patty
de Clam complains Of calumnies Of which he
had been the victim and which Captain Cuignet
had not succeeded In proving. declaring further
that he had no relations with the late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry. but admitting relations with
Major Esterhazy. lie sfirms that in commun
