grateful demeanor Of Dreyfus on hearing for the
first time witnesses in his favor
The correspondent OF THE Daily Chronicle"
predicts that Dreyfus will be recondemned, and
that the sentence will be Immediately COM
muted, through fear OF excitement and upris-
ings incidental upon an acquittal. He believes
that the latitude allowed to the generals In
court points to submission to what in France Is
a sacred image-"reasons of state.
The correspondent of The Times comments
upon the change that came over the aspect OF
affairs when Maftre Demange began tentatively
to crossexamine the witnesses, his questions
leaving General Roget utterly disconnected. He
remarks too upon the fact that Colonel Jouaust
failed to confront Roget with Bertulus, whose
evidence therefore had its full effect

THE TRIAL IN DETAIL.
FULL TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES FOR AND
AGAINST THE PRISONER.

AGAiNSI The PRISONER
. Rennes. Aug. I.-General Roget was the first
witness to-day. He continued the testimony he
was giving yesterday when he was excused, and
criticised the surveillance begun by Colo
mel Picquart over Lieutenant Colonel Henry
That surveillance he said lasted several months
and included the ntercepton Of letters addressed
to Esterhazy. Colonel Henry's house had also
been searched during the Colonels absence.
Those measures. the witness asserted, were car
ried out without the authorization Of the Minis
ter OF War. who was not even informed of them
Moreover. he asserted. the Investigations were
carried on at the expense of the Secret Service
Fund. The witness also objected to Colonel
PicQuart's methods Of watching Mime. Pays.
In regard to Esterhazy. General Roget ad-
mitted that the Count was a gambler and an
immoral character. But he asserted
While I have acknowledged his little failings
nevertheless maintain he has been the victim
OF abominable persecution"
General Roget next spoke OF the arrest at Bel
fort Of Quenelli. and asserted that Colonel Pic
quart concocted the allegations Of spying against
Queneli In order to attract to himself the ap-
prevail OF his superiors. The witness then dwet
on the alleged devices OF Dreyfus TO procure in
formation from the various bureaus In regard 10
the mobilization and concentration Of the troops

Colonel Picquart proceeded to reply to the
various attacks made on him. THE attacks"
he said. are made evidently with the object
of lessening the value Of my testimony
The Colonel outlined his connection with
Dreyfus at tho Military College. and afterward
at the Ministry OF War. where. owing to the
anti-semitlc prejudice OF the General staff he
appointed Dreyfus to a department where pro-
bationers had no direct cognizance OF the secret
documents. He told OF the CONSERVATION 81 the
War Office when the treason was unearthed,
and the relief experienced when 1t was believed
that the guilty person had been discovered 1t
was then the witness discovered the similarity
between the handwriting Of Dr'yfus and that
OF the bordcreau, and he had recourse to Du
Patty de Clam. who was SUPPOSED to have

witness described what he characterized as "the
irregular steps" taken by General MERCER to
accomplish the arrest Of Dreyfus. Referring to
the dictation test the Colonel earnestly and
emphatlcally affirmed that he saw signs OF
perturbation in the handwriting OF Dreyfus on
that occasion. and. moreover. soon afterward
Du Patty de Clam admitted he had not found

there was nothing against Dreyfus-a bsolutely
nothing"
