Never Thought Bordereau Enough 20
Warrant Conviction-Backs Opinion
nth Proof-Former Minister OF war
n. Frevciuet Explains s'Syndicate."

Tuesday was another good Dreyfus
aoy Tieut Col Cordler, retired, VINO
was a member Of the intelligence bureau
at the time Dreyfus was there, occupied
most Of the time Of the court martlal.
His testimony was strongly ID favor OIL
the accused. M. de Freycinet, former
minister Of war, also testified regarding
the foreign syndicate reported to nave
been formed to fight for Dreyfus tree
dom. He admitted frankly that ne nad
no basis for the statement Lieut.. Col.
Cordier was first called to the stand. he
testified that at first he believed Dreyfus
puilty. but later he became sure there
was no proof Of the guilt of the accused
and certain facts tended strongly to the
presumption that he was innocent.
He related the first description given
of the traitor. 1t was that he was
colonel, 45 years old and decorated, which
did not answer closely to Dreyfus. The
last named was "a and not decorated.
Then the witness, continuing, said: For
eign officers are aware that some of the
members of our service make regular
business Of treason" This was received
with murmurs of surprise and negation
nv the audience. "Some of these know
only FRENCH, Dut lHeAc oiC o'ASA'
are linguists, such as Esterhazy, for in
stance, who is proficient in the Ian
guages."
"Col. Sandherr,'' continued Cordier,
"was loyal and a patriot and he died an
honest man. Trouble began in the bu-
reau with the arrival Of Col. Henry. Be
fore that there was harmony. Sandherr
dislked Henry. The latter's famous for
geries were simply committed in order to
demolish the evidence amassed by Lieut..
Col. Picquart. There is no proof of Drey-
fus' guilt, while on the other hand there
were numerous suspicious acts in other
quarters Mai Lauth here arose and
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1899-09-07

disputed certain of the dates and facts
mentioned by Cordier. Later, however,
he firmly reiterated his statements.
M. Labor then read telegram from
man named Pages, who was a friend OF
Col. Sandherr, denying that Matthleu
Dreyfus attempted to bride him (Sand-
herr.
Gen. Roget now confronted Lieut..
Col. Cordier, saying: what part Of my
deposition are you pleased to designate
as false?" Cordier: ut is all false" A
long dispute between Gen. Roget and the
witness then ensued.
''Were you not an anti-Semlte IN
1S94?' asked Gen. Roget. Yes, was,
replied Cordier, land / still object to
having Jews in the army, but not enough
to bring false evidence against one OF
them who is accused Of the crime of trea-
SON" This direct thrust at Gen. Roget
caused great sensation.
Col. Fleur and Archivist Gribelin of
the general staff also confronted the wit
ness. Their argument, however, was
without result.
Gen. MERCER then took the stand, and
to the surprise of every one supported
Cordier in some of his statements. he
also affirmed Pages telegram, read by M.
Labor, to the effect that Matthew Drey-
fus ever attempted to bride Sandherr was
correct.
The next witness was former Minister
of War de Freycinet. He looked like a
little white mouse, which, in fact, is his
political nickname. M. de Freycinet tes-
tilted in barely audible squeaks. The wit
ness first testified in regard to the 81, OOO,-
600 franc foreign syndicate to free Drey-
fus. He said he got the idea that it ex-
listed from a discussion with lamont on
possible condolences and happenings as
the Dreyfus case progressed. This was
the only basis for his statement to Gen.
MERCER that such syndicate existed.
Col. Jouaust, president of the court,
then asked the witness what was his
opinion of Dreyfus. NJ. de Freycinet re-
Piled II will be satisfied, Colonel, with
whatever verdict the court renders as
correct"
The audience was disappointed at this
diplomatic answer, which saved the wit
ness from publicly declaring his opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused.
M. Labori asked NJ. de Freycinet: do
you know a single fact which would lead
you to think that any foreign agent had
done anything in France to bring about
revision of the Dreyfus case?' .'No.
nothin," replied de Freycinet. "Or any
thing that would influence the court of
cessation" insisted Labori NO" en-
phatically said the former war minister.
The court adjourned after the testi-
mony of few minor witnesses was
heard. M. Gallichet, reporter on mill
tary matters and friend of CoI Hon
rvs, testified that Henry was uncommon
" uncommunicative when the Dreyfus
ease was on. Belhomme, another hand
writing expert, who testified at the Ester
hazy trial, persisted that the bordereau
was not written by Esterhazy He would
not say, however, that Dreyfus wrote it.
