Death Of Defective Gueenea. Who. in 1894
Testified Against Dreyius.

| Rennes, July 5.-For Capt. Dreyfus
| today passed off very much as yester-
| day. Madame Dreyfus. NJ. Matthew
| Dreyfus. his brother. and Maitre La
bori, his counsel. visited the prisoner
| but otherwise no special incident oc-
CURED. AS an Illustration of the in
| difference of the population it is
worthy Of note that the words "Eive
Dreyfus" chalked upon wall in Il
| corner of the town remained absolute
| ly undisturbed. Many. however. pre-
| diet trouble on the national fete day,
when review of the garrison will be
held on the Champ de Mars. a large
open space inside the town. The anti
Dreyfusarls. it is feared. will attempt
to draw the troops into a demonstra-
ton.
Madame DreyfuS, accompanied by
her parents. drove to the prison. this
afternoon. Her parents We're not adj
mtted but she remained an hour with
her husband. On leaving she showed
for the first time signs of distress.
Her eyes We're swollen and red as
though she had been bitterly weeping.
She is still in deep mourning and is de
termined to remain so until her hus-
gam ltSdIuS HIS IIbtIlS
\ somewhat larger crowd than usual
watched her arrival ana departure and
again displayed utter lack of manners
ana consideration for her terrible posi-
ton. gathering around her. rudely
staring her in the face and pressing
one another aside in their eagcrn"ss to
lose Il single detail of the inward agony
which might be reflected III her coun-
tcnaucc. Her visible distress. today.
was Il feast for The ghouls who. how
ever. We're speedily dispersed by 4
squad of gendarmes. Tha latter finally
barred the two streets leading TO the
portal Of the prison.
Just opposite the prison. ana over
looking the window of the cell of capt.
Dreyfus ana the courtyard is a tan
merry. This has been a faVoritc coign
of vantage for n number Of phntogra-
piers. who have taken snapshots Of
every arrival ard departure and. as
often as possible. of the incidents oc-
curing inside the prison yard. Today
the police affixed notice over the tn
merry entrance prohibiting the en-
trance there If anyone except on bust
ness connected with the tanncry. This
measure has aroused considerable
comment but the owner of the tanncry
will probably find il prudent not to
ignore the notice.
Maitre I.abori. Matthew Dreyfus ana
Madame prcylus returned to Paris, this
evening.
