they had heard the inhuman monster
speak they would not cheer him now"
Casimir- Perrier testified in q loud
voice and in very theatrical manner.
He declared, for the sake OF his oath
and for the honor of the chief magis-
tracy, which he has held, he would ten
the whole truth without reserve, though
he declared he knew nothing which
would throw light on the case. He then
proceeded to repeat the evidence he had
given before the court of cessation.
Then he read a dispatch received by the
German ambassador at Paris from the
German imperial chancellor. 1t ran:
His majesty, the emperor, having
every confidence in the loyalty of the
lie, begs your excellency to tell Casimir-
Perrier 1t is proved that the German
embassy was never implicated in the
Dreyfus affair. His majesty hopes the
government Of the republic will not
hesitate to declare So" Without for
NAL declaration the legend which here
continues to spread regarding the Ger
man embassy would compromise the
position of the representative Of Ger
many.
The proceedings opened tamely and
the hopes Of sensational sitting began
to flag as Casimer- Perrier and Mercier
reiterated what Is already known But
this was only the calm before the storm
and when 1t broke It carried every one
in court with 1t into whirlpool Of the
widest excitement.
Discussing the Henry Sensation.
Rennes, France, Aug. 1.-THE London
Times statement of the late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry's treason caused a SEN
sation here. The affirmation of Henry
that Esterhazy was his accomplice is
only confirmation of what has al
ready many times been stated. But
what was regarded as important is the
fact that the Times announced it in
such categorical terms, demonstrating,
according to the views Of the friends
of Dreyfus here, that the Times people
have actually seen documents, submit
ted to them by more than one foreign
military attache. presenting the strong
est proof OF Henry's guilt. and, more
over, that this announcement can only
prelude the publication by the Times
OF the actual documents.
Major Forzinetti who was governor
the Cherche Midi prison during Drey-
fus' incarceration there, Ind who was
hi nfI If IoCl ov.utf fOv,
favorable to Dreyfus' attitude while in
prison, said:
The Times statement confirms. my
own view. 1 was convinced OF Henry's $
completely from the first, and always
regarded him as the real culprit.''
AS Seen by Emily Crawfor0
Rennes, Aug. 12-The notable Drey-
fusites here are satisfied with the ex-
animation of the secret dossier. They
have urged their newspaper friends in
Paris to clamor for full publicity, know
ing that IL it is granted the military
and nationalist parties would be utter
~ disgraced. They are convinced that
the diplomatical and war Offices dos
siers TEEN with forgeries.
Publicity would mean the pillory for
the Gen. De Boisdeffre company. They
would be pelted with their own foul
eggs. while Capt. Dreyfus would be
cleared in the face of the whole world.
The military caste Is furious at the
turn things are taking.
NJ. Jaures expects there will be
great exposure of the conspiracy against
the republic and that the high handed
measures of the present government
against certain generals will be more
than justified by the coming levela-
tions.
The examination of the diplomatic
dossier was concluded yesterday morn
ing. Dreyfus on leaving the lyceum
looked brighter than he has ever pre-
yiously appeared.
NJ. Demange has lost no opportunity
to conciliate the seven judges. He has
let himself be interviewed In order to
say nice things about them. He remem-
bers that the seven are ignorant of the
law, always ready to sacrifice equity to
authority, quick to scout at rules of evil
dence. and the members of caste who
think they have been attacked by Jews,
cosmopolitans and foreigners.
can gather that both the counsel
still see that the judges are deeply and
strongly prejudiced against the prison.
er.
Demange. therefore, has but single
fulcrum-the pleasure every human be-
ing takes in hearing himself praised.
have just learned that the secret
dossier contains shocking reports Of
spies of German prince. who has filled
high situations under the empire dur
ing the last twenty years, one in Paris,
a city he often visits.
The only one prince answering this
description is Chancellor Won Hohen-
lohe.
The police spies who informed the
department at the war Of
fce of the princes secret doings did not
attempt to establish the connection be-
tween them and the Dreyfus case.
AS matters stand l think NJ. Demange
now feels that the two dossiers furnish
him with case too strong for even the
officers to resist. Anyway, he looks
really hopeful.
