STAR OF DREYFUS IN THEASCEHDANT The Only Witness Against Him Discredited, ALL OTHERS FAVOR HIM SOME OF THE TESTIMONY GIVEN VERY WEIGHTY. M. BERTILLON SNUBBED BY COL. JOUAUST Cavaignac Returns to Rennes and a Fresh Shuffling of the. Cards by the Prose cution is Suspected. The Drey fusards Growing Despondent. Renoies, Sept. 1. —This was a very sat isfactory day for Dreyfus. The Beauro pa‘.;r witness Germain, who was to prove that Dreyfus attained Alsatian ma nouvres found his statements denied by by a reputable witness, while Germain himself, it was proved, underwent two convictions for swindling. This was the only testimony against Dreyfus, the re mainder of the depositions being in his favor, several of them being very weighty, as in the ease of Captain Car valho, General Sebert and Major Hart mann, their -evidence going to show that particulars of the tiring manual of the "129” gun, and hydro-pneumatic brake were almost matters of common, knowl edge among the officers, and that the contention that Dreyfus, from his spe cial position on the staff, and peculiar movements could be acquainted with them, has no solid basis. This was tin* sum of the day’s proceedings, which were not marked by any incident of un usual incident, the lioget-Brayere epi sode, in which General Roget clearly gave himself away, being tin* only mat ter which attracted special attention. M. Bertilion was severely snubbed by the presiding officer when lie wished to reply to General Sebert, who had con demned his system as fantastic. M. Godefrey Gavaignac, former Min ister of War, returned to Rennes this evening. There is much speculation re specting the motive for his re-appearonee here. The general conjecture is that it implies a fresh shuffling of the cards of the prosecution. Symptoms of de spondency have manifested themselves in Dreyfusnwd circles during (the (last few days. Following is a detailed report of to day’s proceedings: The Dreyfus court martial opened to day with tihe reading of an official report on M. Du Breuil (not l>u Brieul) who August 23rd testified to having met DTeyfus and n German attache at the house of a mutual friend named Bod son. The cross examination: of this witness had reflected on liis character, but the report was to the effect that he never was a horse dealer, as claimed by Maitre I>abori, leading counsel for the defense; that his Character was most respectable and that 'he was lick! in general esteem., Dreyfus expressed intense indignation at the reference in the court to his ixc sonal relations with Madame Dodson. “I emphatically reassertsaid he, ‘•that I never met any foreigners at M. 'Bodson’s and 1 beg the court to mak* such inquiries as necessary to ascertain the truth on this point.” Germain, a groom, one of the wit nesses cited by Oolonel .louaust. testified that the was at Mnlhausen hi 1883, where he was employed in a livery stable, he said, and furnished a horse to the pris sier. As the (horse jumped the witness replied: “Give him Iris head and you .will see.” ■Dreyfus, tin* witness claimed, attend ed the German manoeuvres at Alsace at that time. Colonel Jouaust: “Have you seen the prisoner since?” Germain: “Yes, I recognized him in the Bois De Boulogne as Lieutenant Dreyfus.” Colonel Jouaust: “How did you know that?” Germain: “An officer name D lafre ville. Major, told me.” Colonel Jouaust: “Do you recognize Trim in the prisoner?” Germain: “Yes.” ‘M. Demange inquired whether the wit ness had not been prosecuted for swind ling and had been acquitted i Germain replied in the negative, but he subsequently admitted that, he .had Ijeen convicted of embezzlement June 17th. 1803. Counsel also showed Germain was sen tenced to six moiitlis imiprisonanent lor emtiezzlement in 1898. M. Labori asked Germain if he was acquainted with M. De Beaurepaiie. amd the witness replied that he was not acquainted with him. but he added iliat M. Deßeaurepaire knew the five's t » which he testified through the witnesses friends, and he also admitted having written to M. Deßeaurepaire, givoig in formation which the latter hail publish ed in the Echo de Paris. In reply to the usual question, Drey fus admitted tlrat abort 1883 or 1887 lu* spent a furlough at Mulhausen. He denied emphatically, however, that be had ever been invited to any German manoeuvres or had ever attended or that he had ever dined with a German officer. Replying to Colonel Jouaust. Dreyfus said that while lie was at MuhPimtseu he rode his brother's horse and did i.ot remember anything about the liorse men tioned by Germain. Kuhlmaani. the livery stable beeped who employed Germain at the time, testi fied that he never rode with Dreyfus, as stated by Germain, that he never went to the manoeuvres in company with Dreyfus, and Absolutely denied) all Gtr main’s statements. Major DTufreville testified that he had known Germain since 1894. He addel that Germain informed him that Drey fus attended the German manoeuvres. Witness had never said that an officer Germain saw in the Bois de Boulogne was Dreyfus, ifor the simple reason that he did not know Dreyfus. Captain Le Monrnier, of the headquar ters staff, who was a probationer on the staff at the same time as Dreyfus, de jKised that w hile they were at the school of war in 1894. Dreyfus said he was well acquainted with, a certain position to which the Germans attached great im portance as a means of checkins the French advance. This position, witness continued, was westward of Muhihausen and Dreyfus said he reached this opinion after following ’the German manoeuvres on horseback. The prisoner, at this point, quietly pointed out that the position mentioned l, y Captain Le Monoier was situated ui mi entirely different locality from where lie, the prisoner, is sirpixiscd to have fol lowed the manoeuvres. The prisoner reiterated that lie never attended the manoeuvres in question. At the request of M. Demange, M. Villon detailed the alleged conversation and said lie had not mentioned the con versation in 1894 because Dreyfus had been arrested, and, knowing him to be guilty, the witness foresaw lie would be convicted. Special Commissary Fischer, of the Eastern Military Railway system, de posed that lie was ordered to investi gate a leakage in the gunnery school at Bourges, and, he added, the results of his inquiries did not seem to incrimi nate Dreyfus. Lieutenant Be railed in testified that while in garrison at Rouen, he furnished Esterhazy with information and docu ments regarding the artillery and Eis terhazy was much interested. The witness was never able to recover the documents. He supposed ai the time that Esterhnzy was anxious to Increase his military knowledge. Lieutenant Rrugere, of the artillery reserve, the witness called, sab], it was perfectly easy for any officer to closely inspect the *‘l2o short” gun. Moreover, lie added, the detailed explanations and information regarding the brake were given to the officers present when the gun was tired. On two occasions, wit ness also said, when the gun was fired he noticed the presence of a group of non-artillery officers. Therefore the Lieutenant pointed out, it was plain that access to the gun was quite easy. In May, 1894, Lieutenant Brugiere con tinued, the new firing manual was dis tributed. A copy was given to each battery, and, as the Captain’s lectures were not fully understood, further copies of the firing manuel were printed and all officers and non-commissioned offi cers so desiring could obtain as many as they liked. In some regards even the ordinary, gunners secured copies (Continued on Second Paged WORSE THAN SAVAGES HORRIBLE BRUTALITIES OF FRENCH OFFI CERS IN THE SOUDAN.
