WORK OF EsrERHAzY.

IF I come here to tell you So you
will understand that it is because my
conscience tells me that, in so doing, l
am performing a duty, an absolute
duty. The court of cessation has de-
clared the bordereau to be the work of
Esterhazy. Now the court of cessation
is the supreme authority in all matters
OF justice in France"
At this juncture there was a brief
suspension of the session. When it
was resumed, M. Bertullus, whose tes-
tlmony had notably impressed even the
members of the court-martial, was re-
called but he had little to add of an in
teresting character,
When the prisoner was. asked if he
desired to put any questions to the wit
ness, he answered in the negative
Nine. Henry then assembled the plat
form, and, standing beside M. Bertul-
!us, she said: ION July is, the day my
husband called on M. Bertullus, the
colonel in the course of a conversation
that evening told of his reception. He
described how the magistrate advanced
to meet him and held out his arms.
i said to my husband: Are you sure
of this man? Are you sure he is sin
cere. l am very much afraid that his
kiss was the kiss of g. Judas
There was a great sensation in court
at this statement
Il was not wrong" she continued
amid the breathless interest of the
court. This man is indeed the Judas ]
imagined"
Referring to the papers which arrGed
at the same time as the bordereau
Nine. Henry said: These papers were
not all torn in a thousand pieces. I was
able to note that personally. Letters
often came entire. M. Bertullus has
maintained that everything arrived in
pieces. That is false
The court here resounded with eXcla-
nations of surprise, and Nine. Henry
concluded II have nothing more tt
say"
M. Bertullus said he did not desire to
reply to Nine. Henry, adding: "She il
only a woman"
81 am not woman" exclaimed Nine
Henry furiously; Il speak in the name
of my husband"
The incident caused great excitement
in court.
"How shall 1 reply to madame? p
asked NJ. Bertullus. "She is defending
the name of dead man and that Of hcl
child"
After gazing steadfastly at M. Der.
tullus, who was greatly moved, Nine
Henry descended from the platform ant
took seat beside Gen. zurlinden.
M. Bertullus forthwith left the court

occasion the collapse of the whole
case.
Continuing, M Bertullus re,capitulat-
ed the evidence he had given before the
court of cessation, his investigation
into Patty De CLAIMS connection with
/ the Speranza' and Blanche" tele-
grams, and the favorable impression
he had acquired of Col. Picquart's hon
esty during the course of the inquiry
| Witness repeated the story of Col.
Picquart's dismissal from the army,
and Picquart's denunciation of Ester
| hazy and Patty De Clam, and dwelt ex-
| haustiyely on his laborious inquiry into
the charges against Esterhazy, describ-
| ing the papers found at the residence
OF Nine. Pays, where Esterhazy sought
refuge
M. Bertullus then related the notable
interview between himself and Lieut.
Col. Henry, July is, 1898, shortly before
he committed suicide. This, naturally,
was painful recital for Madame
Henry, the widow, who was much dis
tressed and wept silently as the dra-
matte scene when Bertullus and Henry
proceeded to seal UP the seized papers,
was depicted. The magistrate repeat
ed the whole story with emphasis, and
| it had great effect upon the audi
ence.
After recapitulating his other evil
NShCe bSlOIe tie court OIL CdSSdLlOn, M.
Bertullus energetfcally affirmed his be-
lief in the innocence of Dreyfus. He
declared the bordereau was in three
pieces and not in little bits. He also
said it did not reach the war office by
the ordinary channels. M. Bertullus
also said his belief in the innocence Of
Dreyfus was also based on documents
in the secret dossier which he had
seen.
But what, above ALL commended it.
self to the witness, was the entire alb
sence Of a motive which could have
tempted Dreyfus to commit such al
crime.
without motive!" emphatically de-
clared the experienced magistrate,
there was no crime!"
The earnestness with which M Ber-
tullus insisted upon the innocence of
the accused created a profound i'm
preston upon his hearers
You have been told.' he said, that
Dreyfus is guilty. For myself, 1 be-
lieve, and believe profoundly, in his in

ANOTHER FORGERY.
Schneider, the Austrian Attache, De-
MES He Was the Author.


Paris, Aug. ia special edition of
Figaro just issued exposes another al
legged forgery in the Dreyfus case, by
publishing the following telegram from
Ems
The letter of Nov. 80 1897, attributed
to me, and reproduced in the Figaro of
Aug. 16, 1899, is forgery.
(Signed) Schneider.
The letter referred to was one from
Schneider, the Austrian military at
tache at Paris, in which he was alleged
to have said Schwartzkoppen and Pan
izzardi, respectively the German and
Italian attaches, were trying to make
out that 1t was not Dreyfus who had
given them information, and adding
that he had no belief in these protesta-
tions. M. Cavaignac, the former min
lister of war, in his testimony, made a
great point Of this.
The publication of the Schneider tel
egram caused great sensation here,
and tonight the general impression Is
that Schneiders disavowal has dealt &
severe blow to the prosecution, killing
the only point in General Merciers
evidence which was dangerous to Drey-
fus.
1t Is expected the matter will be
brought UP in court tomorrow by
Maitre Demange, who has a splendid
opportunity to drive a nail into the cot
fin of the prosecution.

TIDE HAS TURNED.
London Press Thinks Dreyfus Will Be
Sentenced Then Liberated.

London Press Thinks Dreyfus Will Be
Sentenced Then Liberated.
London, Aug. 1.-THE dispatch to
the Morning Post from Rennes in
dicates the activity of the censorship
there. General Mercier's insulting ref
erences to Emperor William and GER
tain illusions to the secret dossier were
suppressed while General Mercier's ut
terances were 80 toned down. Corra-
spondents of the London morning
newspapers are, however, unanimous in
the opinion that the tide has finally
turned In favor of Dreyfus. The evil
oence yesterday (Thursday) was SO IA
Vorable to him that even some of the
antl-Dreyfusites would fain admit that
the scales are falling from their eyes.
Madame Henrys dramatic character
lzation of M. Bertulus as Judas had not
the intended effect, because he handed
Col Jouaust an anonymous letter he
had received, proving the whole scene
pre-arranged
All the correspondents remarked also
the demeanor of Dreyfus on hearing for
the flrst time witnesses in his favor.
The correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle predicts that Dreyfus will be
recondemned and that the sentence
Will be Immediately committed through
fear of excitement and uprisings in
cldental upon an acquittal. He believes
that the latitude allowed the generals
IN court points to submission to what
in France is a sacred image, reasons
of state"
The correspondent of the Times com
ments upon the change that came over
the aspect Of affairs when Maitre De-
mango began tentatively to cross ex-
anime the witnesses his questions
leaving General Roget utterly discon-
eerted. He remarks too upon the ia ct
that Col. Jouaust failed to confront
Roget with Bertulus, whose evidence.
therefore, had its full effect.

IRREGULAR STEPS,"

Then the witness described what he
characterized as the irregular steps
taken by Gen. MERCER to accomplish
the arrest Of Dreyfus.
Referring to the dictation test, the
witness earnestly and emphatically af-
firmed that he saw no signs of pertur-
baton in the handwriting of Dreyfus
on that occasion, and moreover, shortly
afterwards Du Patty de Clam admitted
he had not found a fresh charge
against Dreyfus
Beyond the bordereau," added the
witness, there was nothing against
Dreyfus--a absolutely nothing"
His impression during the investlga-
ton was that the accused mans ac-
quittal was probable, as the evidence
was insufficient. Witness believed he
had even told the minister of war that
the condemnation Of the accused could
not be secured unless the court martial
had been shown the secret documents
which II had been agreed to submit to
the court.
The colonel next declared that in 1894
ne did not know the contents Of the
secret dossier. But he believed, like all
other officers, that 1t contained fright
ful proofs against the prisoner. But
when he became acquainted with its

BOYCOTT ENDORSED.
Painters and Decorators
Will Not Work On the
Doctors Building.

That eventually the painters and dec
orators of the United States will sink
all differences, and that the two rival
organizations known as the Lafayette
and Baltimore factions, will come to-
gether and form one aggressive nation
al organization, seems to be a foregone
conclusion.
AT a meeting of the Worcester union
at labor headquarters last night much
| interest was manifested in the pros
| poets for reunion, and latest copies of
the national organ of the Lafay-
cite, Ind, organization, with which the
Worcester union is affiliated were ca
gerly read
Apart from the consideration given
to the matter of a reunion, the painters
transacted a great deal Of business at
the meeting last night. A committee
from the Building Trades Council was
received and after listening to their
recital of the troubles on the Kelley
Delehanty block at Trumbull square,
the painters Endorsed the boycott, and
until some amicable settlement is
reached no union painters, President
Crosbie told The Spy reporter, will be
permitted to work on the building.
This is interesting in view of the fact
mat the structure is not yet ready for
the painters. A new controversy is
likely to arise, therefore, when the work
OF construction has reached the point
where the painting and decorating will
be Ia order. The trouble on the block
is wholly due to the action of the OWL
ers In letting out the plumbing contract
to Koran & Ashley, which is reputed to
be no-union firm.
A committee made up of Messrs Will
knson, Anderson, Crosbie, Adams and
Mccain was appinted to meet the gen.
eral Labor day committee and make
arrangements for the proper celebration
of Labor day next month.
A vote of thanks was rendered
Charles A. Lewis for assistance given
at the recent outing of the painters at
Jordan pond, and also to President
Crosbie for the music on the same oc-
casion.
A communication was read from the
Springfield union inclosing an invita-
ton to attend the monster celebration
of Labor day being pl2hned in Jersey
City. 1t is believed that Springfield and
Worcester will send delegations and it
is likely that President Crosbie will be
one of the local representatives.
President Crosbie Is also a high off,
cial in the national union, being first
vice president, and within a short time
he will organize two new unions in Bos-
ton. The Lafayette organization, he
told The Spy man last night, has made
such wonderful strides in the district
comprising New York and Jersey CITY
that the painters will have the right of
way in the Jersey City parade Labor
day.

HENRY THE MAN.
Cologne Gazette Points to Him as the
Real Traitor.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE Cologne Gazette
In an evidently inspired article on the
Dreyfus court martial says: GAS it is
impossible to cast shame upon France
by believing that witnesses who have
held the highest Offices of state are
preJudiced ruffians, their obstinate dis
regard Of publicly stated facts is only
to be explained by their firm conviction
that the facts in the bordereau were
communicated by an officer of the gem
eral staff.
That officer could not have been
Dreyfus. Suspicion involuntarily points
to the late Col. Henry, who resorted to
forgery to strengthen the legend of the
guilt of Dreyfus,"

It's now Capt. Gus Klopf of the Wor-

OF course, 1t is impossible to tell what
qualifications Klopf has for the position,
but he has given evidence of knowing the
game thoroughly, and that is the main
thing. All that Klopf will require Is a
little confidence in himself. He should
forget the fact that he is a new conner,
and consider that he is entitled to as
much regard from ball standpoint as
