Consequently Mai itre Monard,' counsel' for the Dreyfus family before the court of cassation i in revision been summoned to replace M.

Although he is a poor substitute for the -braF.ianlt, energetic Labori. it is hoped his presence will strengthen the defence. Friends prevented Maitre Albert Clemenceau from coming to the assist ance of Dreyfils as planned immediate iy after the attempted assassination of Labori In spite of difficulties encountered by the defense today's session of itne i court opened with brighter prospects for the prisoner, as M. Demange of counsel for defense evidently came primed With questions to put to Gen eral Roget The latter resumed his de position on the opening of the court dealiner with the theft of Esterhazy's letter from Mademoiselle Pays. Roget made further attacks on Pic quart, and renewed malicious state ments about Dreyfus.

Then came a witness who proved to be a splendid reinforcement for Drey fus. It was M. Bertulus, the examin ing magistrate who received Lient. Col. Henry's confession of forgery. In aJlrnasto inaudible tones, owfing to hoarseness, M. Bertufftis gave testimony which was ia veritable spee?h for tbe defense; comfng from a man of the high legal' reputation of M. Bertulus, the evidence raised itihe hope of the Dreyfusards. It apparently made a deep limpression on the members of the court. Bertulus repeated the evidence he gave before the court of cassation re garding Henry's confession. Though ithe audience could hear li'ttle of hl3 Ites- timony It did flnaflly bear M. Bertulus proclaim: "I believe thait Dreyfus is innocent; I believe it Sf for no other reason, be cause the court of cassation has pro nounced ithe bordereau the work of Es fterhazy. Indeed, ttbere is not the slightest evidence implicaiting Drey fus." After recess Bertulus was cross-examined. He denied Roget's statement that he had declared Esterhaay inno cent, i M. Jausts, socialist leader, was among those present in the court, remarked on ithe conclusion of ithe maekltirate' tes- timon v "Thlis isthe first time the truth, and the whole truth has been told before the judges." Dreyfus "displayed the keenest interest in the statements of M. Bertulus, seeming completely absorbed in his words. After a brief confrontation of M. Ber tulus and Mme. Henry, widow of Col onel Henry, Colonel Picquarlt, former chief of the Intelijgence bureau of the hvar office, was called. f The court adjourned after partfly PICQUART'S TESTIMONY.

It is agreed that the whitecaos are not numerous and tohey have paid their visits in squads of (three. Some sup pose that there are only three and this may be true. Circumstances strengthen the theory that 'the whiitecaps' object is to drive off negro tenants and croppers.' Other causes for the outrages are hinted at, but nothing else definite is given. It seems certain that '.the negro beaters are a few determined men. They have the negroes terrorized, and the poor wretches are 'afraid to bear witness against them.
