his defaced uniform, was marched
round the hollow square, protesting his
innocence and crying: "Long live
France!" while the drums rolled in or
der to drown his voice. Finally, after
being photographed and measured as a
criminal, he was driven in the prison
taken, on January 10, to 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 embarkation.
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.

cially prepared by having the lace on
the cap, the red seams of the trousers,
and the buttons and trimmings on the
tunic taken off and then stitched on
again loosely enough to stay in place,
but SO loosely that they could easily be
torn off. The sword that he was made
to buckle on had been filed on each side
about half way down the blade. He was
then searched, handcuffed, placed in a
prison van, and taken by military es-
cort to the Ecole Militaire, where he was
marched between guards into the CEN
ter of hollow square of troops in the
large courtyard of the school. He had
already twice asserted his innocence to
Capt. Lebrun-Renaud, who commanded
his guard. The morning was misty and
rainy, and the courtyard was muddy
waste, round which doomed the build
ings with windows filled with faces,
while vast crowd that surged and
pushed in the avenues 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
melancholy tune. 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 a
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
heard far 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 it's 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,

THE SECRET DOssIER.
Records Of the Trial Preserved BY the
Department of War.

Records Of the Trial Preserved BY the
Department of War.
The secret dossier, which figures SO
prominently in the Dreyfus case, is
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 casey
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 compli-
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
and forgery that the value of this Sc
cret dossier is very problematical.

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
bor6ereau. 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 letter written
to the Steele March 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 men,
orandum itself, for it had been stolen
before it reached him.

Was Woven.

How the Web to Catch Capt. Dreyfas
Was Woven.
Gen. Mercier was minister of war
when the French spy at the German
embassy brought to the secret service
of the French army the fragments Of
the bordereau. The report was re-
ceived by Col. Patty de Clam, head Of
the secret service. He was a violent
Jew-hater. He appealed to Bertillon,
and the man who invented the Bertillon
system for measuring and identifying
criminals, following Paty's suggestion
who in turn reflected Gen. Mercier's
antipathy to the Jews-said it looked
like Dreyfus' handwriting. It was re-
ported. MERCER ordered that Dreyfus
be arrested. Patty de Clam tried to
prepare the case against him. 1t was
not strong enough to suit Mercier, and
the minister of war secured pleader
whose skill was as great as Paty's in
fanny. The anti-Semitic party and
press had doubts of Mercier, and caught
at the first hint of Dreyfus' denial to
charge the minister with trying to
smother the case because Dreyfus was
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 he knew he
could not crush Dreyfus with the ma
terial at hand, and he must act at once.
He rose at the first court-martiai-
minister of war in the republics cabi-
net-and said: Gentlemen, there is
something more. 1 shall read you one
sentence from a letter in cipher that
some months ago came into possession
of the ministry. You will comprehend
its source, although - not permit
ted to present its context: Decidedly
this scoundrel of Dreyfus is becom-
ing too exacting.'" He had wholly.
deliberately changed the sentence, for
the paper from which he read did not
contain the name of Dreyfus, but the
initial 3D." only. On this bit of ir-
regularly submitted, boldly perjured
bit of evidence the judges based a de-
cision they had already formulated.
Furthermore. that scrap of paper in
Gen. Mercier's trembling hand was in
not even the remotest manner con-
nected with the alleged selling of
French army secrets to the Germans.
1t was fragment from some inter
cepted correspondence, passing be-
tween attaches of different embassies
and related to matters even more in
famous, more unspeakable, than an-
treason OF which Dreyfus was accused

q constant leakage" of these confiden-
tial documents had been noticed, de-
tectives had been employed and Drey-
fus was under suspicion. On October
/, 1894, he was suddenly detached from
the war Office and appointed to service
in the Thirty-ninth regiment at the
Ecole Militaire. On October IA he re-
ceived at his luxurious home near the
Trocadero a summons to attend at the
ministry of war, and he went there the
next morning. He was received by Maj.
du Patty de Clam, who said that he was
very busy and asked the captain to
help him by taking down letter that
he would dictate. There were other
persons in the room who were strangers
to Dreyfus, and-a circumstance that
only struck him afterward-an ar
rangement of mirrors by which his
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 ons the
charge of high treason and taken to
the Cherche-Midi prison, all the time
protesting his innocence. The order
committing him was dated October IA,
amined.
On October 20 hint of the arrest was
conveyed to one of the Paris newspa-
pers and the next day an ambiguous
note appeared in that journal asking if
1t were true that an important military
arrest had recently taken place. This
set everybody talking. for in France
anything concerning the army is con-
sidered of paramount Importance.
Wild stories were afloat, and the excite
ment reached fever heat when the news
was confirmed on November 1, by the
appearance of brief official communi-
cation in all the papers. Dreyfus was
kept in close confinement until Decem-
