According to Estcrhazy's voluntary
confession, made to London news
paper, and repeated since then, it was
he and not Dreyfus who wrote this
bordcreau. Esterhazy states that he
wrote it ut the instigation of his SUI
perior officers, intimating but not say
ing so in so many words that Gen. Mer-
cier, then minister of war, ordered the
bordereau written. In a letter written
to the Steele March 25, 1898, Paniz-
zardi, military attache of the Italian
embassy, relates that Count Schwarz-
koppen received the articles cnumerat-
ed in the bordereau, but was entirely
unaware of the existence of the men,

before it reached him.

transportation for life, after being sub
jected to military degradation.
On the morning of January 4 the
condemned man was ordered to put on
a captains uniform that had been spe-
cially prepared by having the lace on
the cap, the red seams of the trousers,
and the buttons and trimmings on the
tunic taken off and then stitched on
again loosely enough to stay in place,
but so loosely that they could easily be
torn off. The sword that he was made
to buckle on had been filed on each side
about half way down the blade. He was
then searched, handcuffed, placed in a
prison van, and taken by a military es-
cort to the Ecole Militaire, where he was
marched between guards into the CEN
ter of hollow square of troops in the
large courtyard, of the school. He had
already twice asserted his innocence to
Capt. Lebrun-Renaud, who commanded
his guard. The morning was misty and
rainy, and the courtyard was a muddy

charge the minister with trying to
smother the case because Dreyfus was

and MERCER became the most rabid

pushed in the avenues without uttered
loud and menacing cries against the
prisoner. At exactly nine o'clock the
drums rolled, the troops presented
arms, and the regimental band played n
melancholy tune. The sentence was
read, Dreyfus standing firmly with
head erect, his left hand resting on the
pommel of his sword, and his eyes look
ing squarely in the eyes of Gen. Darras,
who commanded the troops. Then a
gigantic sergeant tore the triple band
from the captains cap, the buttons
from his coat, the gold lace from the
collar and sleeves, and the red stripes
from his trousers. AS the sergeant
flung them on the ground Dreyfus
threw up his arms and cried in voice
heard far beyond the limits of the court
yard: you are degrading an innocent
man. Long live France!" a roar of
eXecration answered him: death to
the traitor!" and the big sergeant
roughly tore the sword belt from him,
wrenched the sword from its scabbard,
broke it across his knee, flung the
fragments on the ground and stamped
upon them. Then, amid bowls from
the mob without, the degraded officer,
a grotesque and lamentable figure in
his defaced uniform, was marched
round the hollow square, protesting his
innocence and crying: Long live
France!" while the drums rolled in or
der to drown his voice. Finally. after
being photographed and measured as a
criminal, he was driven in the prison
van to La Sante prison, and thence
taken, on January 10, to La Rochelle,
where he was embarked for the neigh
boring lie de Re, on which is the prison
wherein convicts sentenced to trans
portation await their embarkation.
Mobs all along the route sought to at
tack him, and the guard of gendarmes
had to struggle hard to keep their pris-
oner from being murdered. He was
eventually taken to the lie du Diable off
the coast of French Guiana.
The chronology of this famous case
follows:
OCTOBER, 1S94-Gen. Mercler. minister of
war, gives order after an investigation

THE SECRET DOssIER.
Records of the Trial Preserved by the
Department of War.

The secret dossier, which figures so
prominently in the Dreyfus case, is n
collection of papers belonging to the
war department and collected in con-
nection with the case. These papers
are said to contain proof of Dreyfus'
guilt even beyond the bordereau. The
latter was admittedly written by Ester
hazy. During the first Dreyfus trial
this dossier (Which in free transla-
ton would mean record of the casey
was submitted to the court-martial in
executive session, not even Dreyfus' at
torneys being permitted to be present
during this examination. There are,
all told, some 400 documents in this coll
lection. These papers are examined in
secret session, but Dreyfus' attorneys
are present, so they may be informed
of the record of the charges based upon
these papers. Secrecy is demanded by
the government because It is claimed
that publication would cause compli-
cations with foreign governments.
The secret dossier has been in exclusive
control of the general staff up to the
present trial, and there is, OF course, no
saying what it may contain. So far
the entire nasty Dreyfus mess has
shown SO much corruption, conspiracy
and forgery that the value of this Sc
cret dossier Is very problematical.
