prisoner guilty and sentenced him to
transportation for life, after being sub
jected TO military degradation.
On the morning of January the
condemned man was ordered to put on
a captains uniform that had been sps-
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 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- Remand, who commanded
his guard. The morning was misty and
rainy, and the courtyard was a muddy
waste, round which loomed the build
ings with windows filed with faces,
while a vast crowd that surged and

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
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 5Dreyfus
threw up his arms and cried in avoice
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 traitori" and the big sergeant
roughly tore the sword belt from him,
wrenched the sword from it's scabbard,
broke it across his knee, flung the,
fragments on the ground and stamped
upon them. Then, amid howls from
the mob without, the degraded officer,
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 He 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.

prominently in the Dreyfus case. is a
collection Of papers belonging TO the

are said to contain proof of Dreyfus'
guilt even beyond The boraereau. The
latter was admittedly written by Ester

during this examination. There are,
all told, some 400 documents in this coli
lection. These papers are examined in
secret session, but DreEfus' 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 coInpli-
