Gen BEiot admitted that Lieut. Col.
Picqsart was an officer Of great merit In
whom he had had the greatest confidence.
confidence which he regretted ne no
longer retained. The witness always
obeyed the behests OF conscience. and con-
sidered with the greatest care all Ques-
tons affecting the Dreyfus case. He pro-
tested against the course pursued by n.
TrarieGx.
Replying to n. Labor, Gen. Blot ac-
cepted the entire responsibility for the re-
ceipt given to Maj Esterhazy for the doc

ine,. and expressed the opinion that even
proof OF Esterhaxy's gull, would not acquit
mixed up in espionage.

NJ IAbors-l. lat goes without saying.
But excuse me, Mr.. President. Il has never

theory.

court by shouting In ringing tones:

to be heard.

hidden to speak every time l enter upon
ground where my position Is Irresistible.

aroused intense excitement In the court
room. Cheers broke out, drowning the
murmurs OF the generals and their sup
porters. Col. Jouaust, after quiet had
been restored. remarked that II the de-
would be cleared.

NJ Labori-I resume my seat. but not
