According to Esterhazy's voluntary
confession, made to a London news
paper, and repeated since then, it was
he and not Dreyfus who wrote this
bordereau. Esterhazy states that he
wrote it at the instigation of his SUI
perior officers, ~intimating but not say
ing so in so many words that Gen. Mer-
cier, then minister of war, ordered the
bordereau written. In a letter written
to the Steele Mach 25, 1898, Paniz-
zardi, military attache of the Italian
embassy, relates that Count Schwarz-
koppen received the articles enumerat-
ed in the bordereau, but was entirely
unaware of the existence of the mem
orandum itself, for it had been stolen
before it reached him.

every movement and expression could
be seen by everybody present. Du Patty
then dictated to him the memorandum
which afterward became famous as the
bordereau. At one point Du Patty sud
denly asked DreYfus what was the
matter, and asserted that his hand
shook. Dreyfus replied that his hands
were cold. Then he was left alone in
the room and found a loaded revolver
lying among some papers on the table
beside him. Half an hour later NJ.
Cochefert, head of the detective police,
accompanied by Commander Henry, of
the second bureau, entered, and Drey-
fus was placed under arrest on the
charge of high treason and taken to
the C~herche-Midi prison, all the time
protesting his innocence. The order
committing him was dated October IA,
the day before he was arrested or eN-
amined.
On October % a hint of the arrest was
conveyed to one of the Paris newspa-

THE SECRET DOSSIER.
Records of the Trial Preserved by the
Department of War.


The secret dossier. which figures so
prominently in the Dreyfus case, is a
collection of papers belonging to the
war department and collected in con-
nection with the case. These papers
are said to contain proof of Dreyfus'
guilt even beyond the bordereau. The
latter was admittedly written by Ester
hazy. During the first Dreyfus trial
this dossier (Which in free transla-
ton would mean record of the case")
was submitted TO the court-martial in
executive session, not even Dreyfus' at
torneys being permitted to be present
during this examination. There are,
all told, some 400 documents in this COL
lection. These papers are examined in
secret session, but Dreyfus' 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 compIi-
cations with foreign governments.
The secret dossier has been in exclusive
control of the general staff up to the
present trial, and there is. of course, no
saying what it may contain. So far
the entire nasty Dreyfus mess has
shown so much corruption. conspiracy

| pushed in the 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 n
melancholy une. 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 Il
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 Dreyfus
threw up his arms and cried in a voice
heardfar 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 traitor" and the big sergeant
roughly tore the sword belt from him,
wrenched the sword from its scabbard,
broke it across his knee, flung the
fragments on the ground and stamped
upon them. Then. amid bowls from
| the mob without. the degraded officer,
a grotesque and lamentable figure in
his defaced uniform, was marched
| round the hollow square, protesting his
innocence and crying: Long live
FrGnce," while the drums rolled in or
der to drown his voice. Finally. after
being photographed and measured as n
criminal, he was driven in the prison
van to La Sante prison, and thence
taken, on January 10, 10 la Rochelle.
where he was embarked for the neigh
boring lie de Re. on which is the prison
wherein convicts sentenced to trans
portation await their e~mbarkation.
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.

at the first hint of Dreyfus' denial to
charge the minister with trying to
smother the case because Dreyfus was
a Jew. That added fuel to his flame,
and MERCER became the most rabid
foe of the imperiled captain. The press
rewarded him by declaring him the
paragon of patriots. Yet be knew he
