i intercourse with loose women.

"One day." the witness proceeded,
when we were visiting the concourse
Hippique we met three immoral women
who bowed to US. Dreyfus returned
their greeting, and I said to him:
"Well, for a married man, you have
| nice acquaintance
He replied that they were old
| friends of his bachelorhood, and. point
ing to one of them, said her name was
Valtesse and that she had a house on
the Champs Elysee where
SHE GAVE NICE PARTIES,
where pretty women were to be met
and where there was much gambling.
"Dreyfus also boosted of his large
means and spoke with great relish of
his comfortable house and travels
The witness, continuing, said Drey-
! fus was we'll acquainted with the
scheme for the concentration Of troops
and could trace it on any map, as most
of the other probationers could.
| Witness then detailed the work OF
| the different bureaux, and proceeded TO
demonstrate that the probationers we're
cognizant of the plans for the trans
portation and concentration of the
| troops, and how Dreyfus was ordered
| to draw up a report on the German ar
/ tillery, comparing it with the French
| artillery, and having access to all the
necessary documents.
| In regard to the Madagascar note
| Dreyfus, Junck claimed, told the wit
ness that his cousin had procured him
interesting information.
| Capt Junck then spoke Of the efforts
of Dreyfus to secure the firing manual
and discussed the theory that Henry
might have divulged the documents in
the bordereau. Such a supposition, the
captain declared, was utterly impossi-
BILE
Later the witness corroborated the
statement that Col Picquart proposed
postmarking the Petit Bleu with the
view Of proving it's genuineness.
The monotony of the. session at this
! juncture was suddenly broken by M.
Bertulus. Captain Junck was describ
ing incidents with Mademoiselle Pays,
said to have occurred in the magis-
trate's Office one evening when Ester
hazy and his mistress, both in the
highest spirits, discussed what they
should drink, and he added Mademoi

exposing her bare arms and bosom.
M. Bertulus rose suddenly and, in a
loud voice, asked permission to speak.
Col. Jouaust-"You will have an op-
portunity later"
NJ. Bertulus-"I wish to speak at
once"
Col Jouaust: "You will have an op-
portunity in your turn, sir. You will
have it presently. Sit down.
Capt. Junck proceeded and his ac
| count of what occurred on that ocea-
sion was punctuated with laughter from
the audience.
NJ. Demange asked Capt. Junck why
he had not given the court of cessation
| information of the character which he
| adduced to-day as proof against Drey
fus, and why he had told the court of
cessation he had seen nothing in the
conduct of Dreyfus to lead to the be-
lief that he was traitor? This some
what confused the Captain, who replied
that he had not thought of it, but add
ed that he adhered to to-day's state
ments about the character of the pris-
oner.
Dreyfus after being asked the usual
question, replied:
81 will not speak to the witness of
private condolences he has made to me

low him to divulge private CONVERSE
ton mine do not. l have clean hands
and l will keep them clean. But, there

The prisoner then proceeded to show
that in July, 1894, the practitioners
were informed by an official circular
that they were to pass a period Of
probation in the army, the first-yearers
in August and September and the sec
