Before witnesses Dreyfus began to
write a pretended letter, dictated by
Du Patty de Clam, beginning with in
significant words, but little by little
introducing phrases from the border

that when Dreyfus wrote the words

trembled and that he complained that

the room was moderately warm.

After he had finished writing Drey-

that he was under arrest. He was hur-
ried at once to the Cherche Midi pris-
on, where for two weeks he was kept
in close confinement without being in
formed of the charges against him.
At the end of two weeks Dreyfus
was tried before a secret court-mar-
tial. The witnesses against him were
the officers commanding the army,
several officers of the general staff.
Several secret documents were
shown TO the judges, but not to Drey-
fus nor his counsel. These secret
documents made up what afterwards
became known throughout the world
as the famous 'dossier." These docu-
ments, 1t was mysteriously explained,

accuscrs Of Dreyfus that the ID" did
not refer to Dreyfus at all, but re-
ferred to another person.
Dreyfus was convicted and sen,
fenced, first to be publicly degraded
and then to be transported and i'm
prisoned for life on DEVILS island, O
barren spot off Cayenne, South Amer
lea. On January 5, 1895, the first part
Of the sentence was carried out. The
troops were drawn up in a hollow
square. Dreyfus, in full dress uniform,
was conducted to the center of the
open space. A noncommissioned off,
Ger tore the epaulettes from his shoul-
ders, ripped the gold braid from his
coat, tore the buttons off, and finally,
as a supreme mark Of degradation,
broke his sword across his knee and
threw the dishonored fragments to the
ground. Then the unhappy officer was
compelled to march to rogues music
along the front of his regiment.
A Prisoner on DEVILS Island.
On February 8, 1895. Dreyfus
reached DEVILS island. Here had been
erected stockade, like pen in which
negro convicts are kept. In the stock
ade was hut In this hut, under the
glare Of an equatorial sun. Dreyfus
was condemned to pass the remainder
of his life. He ate and slept In the
hut and took what exercise he cared
He was permitted to have no converse
with his guards. He was denied the
solace Of books and newspapers. He
was permitted to write to his wife
once a month and TO receive one let
ter month from her.
The first clew to the innocence of
Dreyfus and to the identity of the real
culprit came later In the year 1895 by
the discovery by spies of a card tele-
gram (petft bleU written by Lieut..
Col. Won Schwarzkoppen and ad.
dressed to Commandant Esterhazy,
calling upon him to give more detailed
information.
This card telegram-afterwards IA.
nous in the case as the petit bleu'
ut was written on a little blue post
card)-was taken to Col. Georges
Picquart, who had succeeded Col
Sandherr as chief of the secret intelli.
gence bureau. Col. Picquart looked
into Esterhazy's record and anteced
ents. He obtained specimens of his
writing and made the sensational dis
covery that 1t was Esterhazy and not
Dreyfus who had written the border
eau.
The struggle OF Dreyfus' friends to
obtain a new trial for him went on
increasingly. but it was not until 1899
after the death of President Faure and
the election of Loubet that they were
finally successful.
Dreyfus landed In France on July l.
! 1899, and was placed in prison al
Rennes to await his second trial. II
began on August Z. The same malig
nant "dossier" was used against him
Again he was convicted on forged evi
dence. He was sentenced on Septem
Der 9 to ten years detention In a fort
ress on French soil. The years he had
passed on Devils island we're deduct
ed from the sentence. President Lou
bet committed the remaining years
Dreyfus, dismissed from the army
was free man.. He retired to his
estates in the country, but for the last
six years he has quietly but persist
emily worked for the vindication which
he has now gained.

PLACED A HOT CINDER
ON LITTLE BOYS WRIST

a serious affair has just come 10 light
In the town OF Lincoln. II appears that
the pupils OF Pullen's Corner school have
recently taken great delight in building
bonfires. Lately their supply of fuel be-
came exhausted and they have been
spending most OF their noon hours In
making trips for flrewood TO neishboring
woods
one day last week some OF the boys did
not return 10 school at the proper time
The teacher learned from two small boys
Walter u. Gould and Henry Harper, the
cause OF the lateness
The other boys were very angry with
the younger ones for telling OH them and
they resolved TO punish them. II Is said
that they tied Gould TO a tree and one
of the boys put hot cinder on his wrist
causing him much pain.
The charge Is being carefully investi-
gated by the teacher, although Mr.
Adams. the superintendent OF schools, has
not yet been notified.
