This incident, which terminated the
evidence of Captain Freystmeter,
caused an immense impression on the
audience The Dreyfusards were ju-
bilant.
M. Paref-Joubal, a draughtsman, was
called for the defense. He was accom-
panied by blackboard, upon which he
proposed to refute a portion of M. Ber-
tillon's problems. The witness said,
amid laughter, that the demonstration
would occupy no less than two hours.
He then proceeded to chalk number
of caligraphic signs on the blackboard
and presented to the court photo

anguish by which his conscience was
tortured. I did not reply to Captain
Freystmeteh, because 1 am accustomed
to allow every one the liberty of his
own opinions. In my opinion every one
ought to guide his ship his own way
M. Labori requested the. judges to
note that no contradiction was offered
to Captain Freystmeter's statement
that the Panizzardi telegram of No
vepber I'd was communicated privately
to the judges in 1894, and, under these
circumstances, General Mercier having
testified that he had given an order
that the telegram should not be COM
municated, and whereas he had also
testified that the order was carried out,
counsel begged the President of the
Court to ask General Mercier for an
explanation concerning the statement,
which entirely contradicted his evil
dence. Great sensation.)
General Mercier, who had paid rapt
attention to what was going on, point
ed out that Captain Freystmeter had
spoken of an act of treason alleged to
have been described at the 1894 court
martial as having been committed by
Dreyfus at the pyrotechnic school, add
ing that Freystmeter seemed to retain
very exact recollections of the docu-
ments communicated, and asked what
was referred to in the letter mentioned.
Captain Freystmeter-It referred to a
shell. I see the document perfectly in
nay minds eye.

meter is caught in the very act of lying.
