RenneS August lo.-(MrS. Crawford
on Drey1us trial) Saturday was a
tremendous day in the Dreyfus trial.
Cassimir-P erier gave the court-martial
a history OF the case and spoke in an
emphatic manner with strong emotion,
often in a strong tone OF indignation,
He appeared to greater advantage
than ever remember to nave seen nm
before. He was honest, though not
free from pose, unless when anSered at
the lies being told about him when he
seemed quite natural. Casslmir-Perier
declared that he would not leave the
court until the imputationS against
him were cleared. He has grown
stouter since he resigned the presl-
dency and looks like an adept in ath-
letlc sports.
Gen. MERCER was allowed to sit while
giving his deposition, if long MINDED,
flat explanations and remarks can Ue
called a disposition. He is of quite
another type from Cassimir-Perier.
His full dress uniform failed to make
him look soldierly. He has the coun-
tenance of a trickster. Esterhazy is
like a brigand MERCER is like dis
honest grocer who adulterates his
wares. MERCER spoke for hours IN
scarcely an audible voice. Failing 10
demonstrate the guilt of Dreyfus, Mer-
cier turned toward the prisoner at The
conclusion of the dullest speech | ever
heard and, with pecksnitiian shortness
said: IF | had the slightest doubt of
the justice of the "a sentence, l would
now say to the prisoner, Captain have
wronged YOU Dreyfus for the first
time, broke the bounds of self control,
The blood rushed into his face and
starting to his feet he cried: But that
is what you ought to say" This
brought down the house and the bar,
press, and public applauded. General
Mercier's disposition was in such con-
trast to the powerful story of Cassmtr,
which had throughout the ring CT
truth, that the general was hooted as
he left the stand. Tomorrows proceed
ings will be sensational; Saturday S
were thrilling.
There are signs that the tide is turn
ing. President Louaust Of the court
martial, who has been so stiff with
Dreyfus and ignored his salutes, Satur-
day returned them. The other deposit
tons Saturday were not sensational,
but were of Importance. The minds of
all the military judges move in the
narrowest grooves and are inflated
with an absurd notion of military au-
thority and convention. The tone of
the military bench is dull and unintel-
ligent. | prefer the treachery of the
French civilian judge to the bloclhead-
ism of the military. The officers who
judge Dreyfus may for decency's sake
acquit him, but then they will do so
reluctantly and with heart filled with
gall. They are not to be converted
by the evidence, but it may, and be-
lieve it will, overbear them.

Pine Ridge squaw Found Murdered
ON the Observation-Disclosures of
the Woman In Jail Charged with
tho Crimc-Other Items.

Accused of Numbering His squaw
Good Shot, an Indian resident of the Pine
Ridge Agency. has been bound over to the
United States court on tho charge of MUIR
der, being accused of cruelty numbering his
squaw. He is now at Deadwood, awaiting
trial. One morning recently a mounted In
dian policeman in patrolling the reserva-
tion found the dead body Of a woman. It
was horribly mutilated, and there were all
evidences Of murder most vile. The dis
'coyelc OF the crime reported the matter
at once to Major Clapp, in charge of the
agency, who notified the proper govern
ment authorities. Indications pointed to
Good Shot, the squaw's husband, as the
guilty man, and after an investigation the
officers placed him under arrest. The
crime caused much excitement at the rescr-
walton, because of both its dastardliness
and its unusualness. 1t is said at the res
crvation that, if Good Shot be really guilty,
this the first case on record of an Indian
numbering his squaw. The sentiment of
the Indians is against Good Shot.
