Questions That Might Bring Out the
Truth Refused by Col.
Jouaust.
Gen. Billot Makes Insulting Insinu-
alton and is Protected by
the Judge.
Intimates That Dreyfns Might Have
Been Accomplice Of Esterhazy
DuClam's Deposition.

Rennes. Sept. s.-Two hours were
spent behind closed doors, hearing the
testimony Of Cernuschi, the Austrian
refugee.
When the open session was resumed
Senator Trarieux. former minister of
justice, resumed his deposition. He took
up the testimony of Savignaud, who had
asserted he had seen letters addressed
to scheurer- Kestner. formerly vice
president Of the senate. by Picquart
while savignaud was Picquart's orderly
at Tunis.
| Trarieux declared Savignaud was a
perjurer and hinted that he had been
drilled on the testimony he should give.
Savignaud reiterated the truth of his
testimony. Picquart repeated his denial
Of Savignaud's story. Trarieux declared
he was convinced that the petit bleu
was authentic. He then commented up
on the questionable role played by
Lauth. Lauth declared he acted hon
estly and had not the least doubt of
| Picquart's Justification OF the petit bleu
to incriminate Esterhazy. Gen. Zurlin-
den then spoke in justification Of his ac-
ton, while he was military governor of
Paris and minister of war, in the pros
ecution of Picquart. Labori then tackled
Zurlinden who admitted that the magis-
| terial inquiry showed the petit bleu was
not tampered with when 1t first arrived
at the intelligence Office, consequently
distorting the document.
Labori asked Paleologue, the expert OF
the foreign office, with reference to the
reading before the court of documents
in which was recounted conversation
between Delcasse tformer prime minis
teri and Count Won Munster-Leden-
burg German minister to Paris) in the
course of which Ledenburg said Col
lSchwartzkoppen admitted he sent Es.
terhazy q number of telegraphic card.
or bleus. Paleologue replied it was
quite true; that the document belonged
to the diplomatic dossier. AS to the
petit bleu in question, added Paleologue
Il
he wrote it himself; but in any case
Paleologue said, he believed it was sent
by Schwartzkoppen This declaration
created a marked sensation.
| Trarieux again entered upon long
statement in the course Of which he
Judged. Gen. Billot. confronting Ira
Irieux, said: Even if Esterhazy should
be proved traitor that would not prove
Dreyfus innocent: for in cases of es-
pionage it very often occurs there are
several accomplices." Labori cried:
ALLOW me to remark that 1t has never
been said that Dreyfus had an accom-
lplice in Esterhazy." Dreyfus also
sprang to his feet and shouted: IT pro-
test against this odious accusation
Labori asked to be allowed to question
Biliot. Jouaust refused and a heated
wrangle ensued, Labori finally shout
ling: II bow to your ruling, but take
mote that every time l put question
which is irresistible, you refuse to al
low it."
4 The audience burst into a loud ap-
plause. Jouaust suppressed the demon
stration and then said: Have you
anything more to say, Labori?"
Labori replied: mo, because (and !
speak the utmost respecD 1 am pre-
vented from putting any question
touching the core of the affair 1 re-
serve the right to take such action as
~;
me to take up.''
Labori was extremely excited and
hardly able to contain himself with in
ldignation and when afterwards asked
if he had any questions to put to other
witnesses replied tartly: mo. nothing
/ at ALL"
Maj Gallopin was then examined. He
declared he had once met Dreyfus on
the Boulevard st. Germain car
rying voluminous package which
he said contained secret papers treating
of mobilization, which he was carrying
to the geographical bureau. Dreyfus
admitted he sometimes took documents
to facilitate his work. but said he did
not recall the particular incident to
which Gallopin referred.
Maj. sHirschanel deposed that he
heard Dreyfus express desire to go to
maneuvers, but could not remember the
exact date. Dreyfus replied "It is
very possible I expressed regrets that
would be unable to go to maneuvers
What's certain, we all knew none of the
probationers would go'
Picquart was called and said Dreyfu.

the third bureau of the general staff
and consequently an officer in that bu.
