artillery formations. You ought to be
quainted with these matters?'
Dreyfus-"No."
Jouaust-'Major Norm MiIon sent you
special documents from the 18th to the
10th of July, 1884, month before the date
of the bordereau?'
Dreyfus-"I only had incomplete informa-
ton
Jouaust-"At the end of 1894 had you
knowledge of information sent to Lieut..
Bac by the third bureau on the effective
ness of the batteries of the 40 gun?"
Dreyfus-"No."
Jououst, with movement of impatience-
This is astonishing. The bureaus know
what documents pass from one to the
other"
Dreyfus-"What I say is correct"
Jouaust-"I turn to the fourth document,
note referring to Madagascar. There are
two papers. A corporal who copied them
saw you pass through his Office going to
the colOneIS rOom''
Dreyfus-"I went through occasionally"
Jouaust-"You could have obtained this
document from the corporaTs deSk?"
Dreyfus-"This is not usual
Jouaust-"No. But it could be done. The
copying finished on the 2Sth and the
pOrderGaO oates from several Gays later
Now for the fifth document-the proposed
firing manual for field artillery. Did you
know the contents of the manual?"
An Emphatic Denial.
Dreyfus (emphatically)-"No. Never"
Jouaust-"A witness says you commune
Gated it to him.
Dreyfus (vehemently)-"No. Never
Jouaust-'A major lent you this firing
manual?"
Dreyfus-"No, my colonel. 1 deny it abb
solutely."
Dreyfus then entered into an explanation
of dates, but his memory failed him.
Col. Jouaust then took up the famous
phrase, Il am starting for the maneuvers.
He said:
'You had never been to the maneuvers
because it was the custom for only proba-
TONERS to go. But at the date of the bor-
dereau you did not know you would not
go?"
Dreyfus-"There had been fresh orders
given
Maj Carriere here interviewed, saying:
But there were two sets of orders given
1t was in September when it was decided
not to send the probationers to the ma
neuvers.'
Jouaust-"What work were you engaged
on in the fourth and first bureaus?"
Dreyfus enumerated the different tasks,
adding:
81 was only occupied with current mat
ters and perhaps a few studies, of which l
forget the subject"
Denies an Alleged Remark.
Jouaust-"At the military school you
were reproached with saying the Alsatians
were happier as Germans than as French
mem"
)reyfus-'No. never uttered such
words
Jouaust-'How do you account for the
bad note against you written by certain
general?''
Dreyfus-"1ie said he wanted no Jews on
the general stan
