and has since gravitated between Hol-
land, London and Paris, now fully adj
hitting that he did write the border
eau by desire, and now denying he
ever did write it. With Patty de Clam,
he stopped to any anti-Dreyfus trick,
no matter how mean, but he played
all parties equally false.

Dreyfus wrote the bordereau, the three
called at the Esterhazy trial affirming
that they believed Dreyfus traced the
bordereau from Esterhazy's handwrit-
ing in order to conceal his own guilt
and incriminate another. NJ. Bertillon
lent the comic side to the affair, draw
ing up weird design of a fortress
with defenses to indicate his views on
caligraphc differences. 1t was receiv-

trial, and utterly discredited his view.
