THIRD WEEK OF THE TRIAL
DREYFUs CASE ALL THE TOPIC
The Judge Gets Angry-The Crowds
Hooted and Yeilcd-Oid Scandals Are
Brought Out -Dreyfus Gives IA Better
Impression.

| Rennes, Aug. 22.-The third week of
the Dreyfus court martial began without
incident. The possible temperance OF NJ.
Labori attracted large audience at the
Lycee, but though he is progressing as
satisfactorily as possible, his physicians
deemed it best for him to remain quiet.
When it became Known that the distin-
guished lawyer would not participate in
the proceedings, large number of disap-
pointed persons quilted the court room.
The court settled down to business
quickly and by 8 o'clock five witnesses
had appeared at the bar. If this rate is
continued it is considered the court will
get through with the 80 ordered witnesses
before the beginning OF September and it
is expected tile verdict will be delivered
by September Z.
All the witnesses Monday were hostile
to Dreyfus but none OF their evidence was
fresh. The audience followed the depo-
sitions with comparatively little intrest,
reference by Nj. Gribelin to the rela-
tions of Dreyfus with the demi-mondaines
proving the most appetizing portion uf
the mornings proceedings.
A subdued litter went round the court
room when Gribelin even professed TO
know the exact amount Dreyfus spent
upon his various amours. Gribelin gave
his testimony with an honest demeanor
but nothing in his appearance would con-
tradict the contention of the Dreyfusards
that he was Major Laths tool in the
Vaccinations of the general staff against
Colonel Picquart, who listened to Gribe in
with an air contemptuous impatience.
M. Demange, counsel for the defense,
was more successful than usual in cross
examining him, and visibly disconnected
Gribelin. The counsel scored distinct
hit when he got Gribelin to admit that he
mixed in the intrigues of De Clam and
Henry to shield Esterhazy, and when
Gribelin was finally disposed of his evi.
dence had suffered badly.
Dreyfus created better impression to-
day. He entered the court room with a
more confident bearing and piled to the
witness in a calm voice without any
theatrical gestures, and his remarks were
put so lucidly that he appeared to make
an impression on the judges, all OF whom
are reputed to be bitterly opposed to him.
The session wound up with a scene on
account OF the extraordinary conduct Of
Colonel Jouaust, president of the court,
who permitted himself to make an unwar-
ranted display of partiality. Bcrtullus
had been confronted with the last witness,
Captain Junck, and General Gonz had lie
Tended the latter, when Colonel Picquart
asked to be allowed to refute some of
Junck's remarks. Jouaust made gesture
of impatience, and shouted:
"What, againf"
An outburst of booing and Kissing came
from the audience at such display of
unfairness. The judges and gendarmes
quickly suppressed the noise, but Jouaust
understood the well-merited rebuke admin
istered to him, turned red and adjourned
court 10 minutes later.
