came somewhat 3ess rigorous until final
ly on June 5. 1899. the following note was
put into his hands:
please let Capt. Dreyfus know imme-
dateiy of this order of the Supreme
Court The court quashes and annuls
the sentence pronounced on the 22d of
December, 1884, upon Alfred Dreyfus, by
the first court-martial of the military gov
eminent of Paris, and remands the ac-
cused party to a court-martial at Renes,
and etc.
His return TO France, in close conflne-
ment on the warship Sfax followed. Once
in France he learned the history of the
fight for a revision of his case. and was
ready TO face his accusers a the second
court-martial at Rennes. He writes:
-"Of my own story / knew nothing. AS
I said, / was still back IN 1884, with the
bordereau as the only document in the
case, with the cries of death to the
traitor" from deluded people. ] be-
iieved in the loyalty of Cen dc Bois-
deffre; / believed in the chief magistrate
Of the state, Felix Faure; | thought both
eager for justice. Thereafter a veil had
fallen before my eyes, growing more
impcnetraole every day.
1t was some time after he landed before
he was allowed to see his wife, and OF
their first meeting, in prison. he says:
at is impossible for words TO express
in their intensity the emotions which my
wife and both felt at seeing each other
again. Joy and grief were blended I'm our
hearts. We sought to read In each others
faces the trades of our sufferlngs; we
wished TO tell each other all that we felt
in our souls, TO reveal all the feelings
suppressed and stified during those long
years; but the words died away on our
lips. We had to contend ourselves with
trying TO throw into our looks oil the
strength OF our affection and of our en-
durance. The presence of a lieutenant
OF infantry. who was stationed there, pre-
vented any intimate talk"
Then came the re-trial and the convic-
ton. OF which he writes
I'm spite Of the plalneSt evidence,
against all justide and equity. 7 was con-
demned. Two votes. however. were given
for me. As to'the sentence which Ave
judges dared TO pronounce, ] do not ac-

The offer OF pardon and his acceptance
OF II Dreyfus explains thus:
"a pardon was offered me on condition
that withdraw my demands for

from my demond. hesitated.

mer relate how the prisoner was kept con-
fined to his hut much of the time in the
extremely hot weather, because convicts
were at work on the island and it was
feared that he might communicate with
them. He suffered greatly from the bites
of mosquitoes and other poisonous insects,
from heat. fever and stomach trouble.
By fall he was very weak, hardly able
to walk or write; and incapable of any
continued mental exertion.

by forcing me to seek in suicide an es-

AS time went on Dreyfus became weak
when he wrote nothing in his diary.
Then, in the fall of 1885, when the wealth
ed was so deadly that many of the
guards broke down under it, the authori-
ties instituted what appears like a de-
liberate attempt to hasten the prisoner
death.

stinct of life falters; IL is too much for
mortal man to bear.
The diary ends on Sept. 10, 1896. with
the entry OF an appeal. by letter to the
President Of France, for justice. There
after Capt Dreyfus' narrative continues.
He tells how for two months and a half
he was confined 10 his hut, without "a

quarters sluiced out with water; for
nearly two months he slept IN irons ev-

that they tore his flesh. In spite OF all
this. he writes TO his wife, whose coura-

Five Years of My Life the first pub
lie utterance by Dreyfus himself since
his arrest in 1894. From this remarkable
bit of history, the following extracts are
taken, as typical of the victims own
view Of the ordeal through which he has
passed. After describing the now histor-
ical court-martial and conviction and
degradation, he tells how he was sent to
the lie de Re and stone hut, with arm
ed guards always on duty. BY day he was
permitted to walk about in half-acre
space His correspondence was rigidly
censored and even his wife's letters were
forwarded only after every reference to
his case had ben excised All his cooking
and washing he had to do himself. 1t was
life reduced to it's lowest and most
wretched terms. OF his existence on the
island he writes:
Since | landed month ago, have re-
NAMED locked in my pen without once

tigue of my painful journey. Several
