Expenses Of preyfus Defence.

One feature of the Dreyfus case has
not been fully touched upon-the ex-
ceedingly large sum of money which
the Dreyfus family has been forced
30 spend. The trial of 1894 cost a
very fair sum, limited chiefly, how
ever 10 lawyers fees. The large out.
lay was caused by the efforts of the
family to discover the real culprit az
ter the departure of the unfortunate
prisoner for Devils Island. NJ.
Matthews Dreyfus employed two sets
of detectives. The French detectives
we're watched by q set of English de-
tectives, and the family, of course,
footed the bills in both instances. This
work went on for two or three years.
until the discovery Of the famous petit
bleu designating Esterhazy as the
culprit Then came the expenses
leading to the revision Of the case, the
lawyers and the memoirs and other
documents which had to be published.
But the deserved compensation given
NJ. Mornard. M. Demange and Nj. La
bori was not the only outlay which
the Dreyfus family had TO support at
Rennes. AS they lost their suit, they
had TO pay all the witnesses n round
sum Of nearly $4,000. Thus Dreyfus
was placed in the curious position OF
paying the carfare and the board bills
