A New Fact Brought Ont,
NJ. Ballo. de Beaupre amplIfied his In.
dictment Of Major Esterhazy saving
that one ney fact from n legal point OF
view was the discovery that the border
eau was written upon precisely tho sorno
paper as that used by Major Esterha-
zey The Judges In 1894 did not know
this, and NJ. de Beaupre declared that
on his soul and conscience. according To
his conviction, the bordereau was writ
ten by Esterhazy. He deplored the Mt
tacks OF reyisionisss upon the army. but
said that the honor of the army was nor
dependent upon the retention of nm In.
nocent man on Devils Island.
NJ. de geaupre concluded: ~ do no,

Dreyfus, but" cried he with profound
emotion, ".t Is with n firm conviction
and a lively sense of nv rcsnonsiht,l,tau
