Beginning the Proceedings.
The proceedings in the Dreyfus trial
were as follows:
When the court martial resumed its
sittings this morning it was noticed
that the generals were again in uni
form, foreshadowing further field oper-
ations on their part.
Major Carriere, the government com
missary, opened the proceedings with
the announcement that Eugene de Ger
nuschi, the Austro Hungarian refugee,
was sick and unable to attend court
to-day.
After this Savignau,th the former orderly
of Colonel Picquart and one of the wit
nesSes, asked the court to certify that
Senator Trarieux, the former minister
of justice, had called him an impostor
and perjurer.
NJ, Trarieux rose, and insisted that
Savignau's evidence was a contradic-
tion of the evidence of Colonel Pic
quart, NJ. Scheurer-K -Kestner and NJ
Rouquet's. proving, he claimed, per-
jury somewhere, but not by the last
trio of witnesses.
NJ Trarieux added that his state
ments were in accordance with the die
tates of his soul and conscience and
if he was amenable to the law for
them there was also a law against per-
jurers.
Labori's Application.
After the court had certified to NJ
Trarieux's charge NJ. Labori said: II
have received notice that for reasons
of public policy Major Pannizardi and
Colonel Schwartzkoppen could not
come to Rennes to testify before the
court martial But ! am also informed
from the same quarter that they would
answer the questions of a commission
sent by the court martial. l therefore
Oeg the court to direct, as in the case
of Colonel Du Patty de Clam. that COL
onel Schwartzkoppen and Major Pan
nizardi be examined by commission.
The lawyer said he would make for
NAL application to this effect
Colonel Jouaust invited the opinion
of M. Paleologue, who replied: ''It is
clear that considerations Of public pol
icy stand in the way of foreign mill
tary attaches appearing in a French
court to testify in regard to facts of
which they have cognizance in their
diplomatic capacity. Colonel Schwartz
koppen and Major Pannizardi will not
attend the court martial. AS regards
the dispatch OF commission / believe
the foreign office will not oppose it."
Major Carriere-I do not oppose the
appointment of a commission. 1t is a
matter for the president to decide.

not permit any interruption of the
trial
N. Labori-I think II possible to
make the procedure | proposed very
rapid. The military code provided for
suspension. of 4s hours On the other
hand, the court martial might shorten
its sittinEs reducing them four hours

While NJ. Labori was drafting his
motion member of the court martial
remarked that certain documents men
toned in Du Patty de CLAIMS deposition
could not be found either among the
records or in the statistical department
Of the war office.
Demange-Perhaps they are under
seal.
M Labori then read his applica ton,
