Threat to Clear the Court.

The court then entered. Colonel Jou-
aust. the president of the tribunal, al
luding to some manifestations of opin-
ion last Saturday in the press tribunal,
threatened to clear it if either approval
or disapproval of any witness was ex-
pressed there.
He then ordered the conformation Of
NJ. Casimir- Perier and General Mer-
cier. These witnesses were more like a
cat and dog than before. Casimir-Pe-
rier seemed Sc like one of those fussy
mongrels that one sees on the box of
a French peasants market cart. The
dog sits beside the driver. looking in
tently forward and ready to pick
quarrel with no matter whom. He
seems to think he runs the whole con-
Germ.
Casimir-P erier spoke of himself only
of what he did and said when presi-
dent He often snubbed MERCER YER
bally and by almost turning his back
upon him He had little to say of the
Dreyfus affair
General MERCER paid him back in
scratches that almost drew blood.
General Bfllot sat while making his
own deposition. He still believes Drey-
fus guilty, but gave no strong reason.
He says that Colonel Picquart system
atically, as head of the intelligence de-
partment, kept back all new facts ia
vorable to Dreyfus and stifled inquiry.
