PIcQUlRT IS DEAD.
He Was q Cnnspacuo>ss Figure In the
j Celebrated Dreyfus Case.

Amiens, France. Jan. 19.-General
Marie-Georges Picquart. commander
OF the second French army corps,
who was one Of the most prominent
figures in the Dreyfus case, died here
today. aged 60 years. General Pic
quart rose to a high rank at q very
early age. He was an Alsatian by
birth. While serving on the general
stah Picquart discovered the forgerfes
which had brought about the con-
demnation of Dreyfus to the horrors
OF Devils Island. PicQuart thereupon
became one Of the most enthusiastic
appellants for a revision Of the judg-
ment on Dreyfus. His zeal in this re-
spect led to his arrest and imprison-
ment on various charges. which we're
dismissed for want of evidence. In
spite of the court decision in his ia
vor, he was retired from the service
through the influence OF antt-Dreyfus
officials.
During his retirement, Pfcouart.
aided by Emile Zola and others, con-
tinued his work in behalf Of the man
who had been unjustly condemned
He finally succeeded in having the
case brought before another court
martial at Rennes. Dreyfus was
again convicted by the court but later
secured a full pardon from President
Loubet
This pardon did not satisfy Pic
quart and the other supporters of
Dreyfus. who labored necessarily to
have him officially declared innocent.
They finally secured this verdict from
the French supreme court and both
Dreyfus and Picquart were restored to
the active list Of the French army.
General Picquart afterward became
minister OF war and commander of
the second army corps.
