Rennes, Spt. 4. —Am the end of the
Dreyfus court martial trial comps within
right the French Government is lie
ginning to display a fear that t!he ver
dict may give rise to troubles, and or
ders have just been received by two
regiments of infantry and the cavalry
regiment, already within hail of Rennes,
to hold themselves in readiness to march
on the town at the lirst sign of disorder,
to occupy all strategical points and to
repress manifestations in their inception.
The local anti-Dreyfusard organs, by
their anti-foreign articles, have already
singled out foreigners as enemies of the
country ami there is little doubt that
foreign journalists will he the victims of
the violence of the mob —not so much
Anglo-Saxons as American, German
and Russian Jews, who form a majori
ity of the press representation of their
respective countries.
Today’s session opened rather badly
for Captain Dreyfos, as a surprise was
sprung upon the defense In the advent
of an Austrian political refugee, Eugene
Cernusehii, who came out with a flat
footed denunciation, of the accused,
which, even though it may eventually
be proved a pure fairy tale, is bound for
tiie moment to exercise a malignant in
fluence upon the French people* wilm
have not seen Cermischi and are thus
unable to form a personal opinion of the
man who launched these direct accusa
tions against Captain Dreyfus.
Cemusehi’is appearance is undeniably
against him. Nobody even suspects
that he is what !he claims to lie, a scion
of the royal Servian horse. On the con
trary. one would take him to lie a
groom dressed in his best Sunday suit.
It was remarked that as soon as he
had delivered his testimony and M.
Labori had asked to have him put on
oath at tomorrow's session behind closed
doors in order that he might lie pun
ished, if guilty of perjury, he left the
court room and was not seen again.
Cernnschi’s testimony, which was in
the form of a letter to the President
of the court martial, Colonel .Touaust,
was most unequivocal. lie claimed that
on three distinct occasions, twice in
France, and once at Geneva, he was
told by a high foreign officer that
Dreyfus had communicated treasonable
documents to a foreign power. In the
third instance Cernusehi said the officer
showed him documents emanating from
Dreyfus, and that this officer left
France hurriedly two days prior to the
arrest of Captain Dreyfus. The allu
sion was evidently to Colonel Sell war tz
koppen, the military attache of the Ger
man Embassy in Paris in 1894. whose
movements were coincident with those
described as the movement of the officer
of Cemusehi’s deposition.
Now this evidence is of transcendent
importance to the prosecution, and it is
incredible unless Cernusehi is proving to
be a humbug, that the Government com
missary. Major Carriere, should have
admitted that he had received a letter
from him offering important testimony !
and thrown it aside on the ground of i
its coming from a political refugee.
The deposition evoked expressions of
incredulity. Olio suspicious feature was
the fact that although the witness said
he could not sp-ak French fluently, his
letter to Colonel Jouaust, asking an ap
portunity to testify was drawn up in
perfect French. He explained that he
had been assisted by his wife in writing
the letter.
* This introduction of a foreigner as a
witness for the prosecution gave M.
laibori an opportunity to submit the
most important request he Ims made
throughout the trial, a request which if
granted by Colonel Jouaust, though this
is extremely doubtful, would certainly
have momentous consequences.
M. Labori announced his intention, in
view of the, step taken by the prosecu
tion in calling foreign evidence, to ask
that inquiry should be made through the
regular diplomatic channels as to whet ti
er the documents mentioned in the bor
dereau were actually communicated, and
if so, by whom. This involves an ap
plication to tin* German Government,
which the court martial is scarcely like
ly to approve. In any case the applica
tion means the lengthening of the trial
for several weeks.
The introduction of Cernusehi and the
other developments of the day, it is gen
erally predicted, imply another fort
night’s sitting, at the least. Cernusehi
will be heard tomorrow behind closed
doors. At the same time there will
probably Ik* an examination of the secret
dossier to which Captain Coignet re
ferred this morning, and which M. La
bori immediately asked to have pro
duced in court. This dossier consists of
twelve or fourteen, documents, and it
is difficult to see why. if they have any
value, the etat major not had them
produced earlier. The etat major are
not in the habit of holding back docu
ments calculated to prove of the slightest
service to their cause, as is shown in
the case of the note concerning M. Had
amard’tf doubts of the innocence of his
cousin, which was incorrect, but was
nevertheless included in the secret dos
sier, while the important document stat
ing on the authority of the French Min
ister in Rome that an Italian military
attache paid Ester hazy 200,000 francs
was studiously omitted from the secret
dossier. It is perfectly evident that
the Italian attache did not pa.v Ester
hazy such a sum on account of, as the
French say, his beautiful eyes, and the
CASTORIA For Irf ants and Children.
The Kind You Hate Always Bought
document was the host evidence that
Esterhazy is the traitor. Nevertheless,
etat major carefully kept this out of
view.
M. Painleve, the distinguished mathe
matician, cornered General Gonse on
the latter’s falsified version of M. llada
mard’s remarks concerning Captain
Dreyfus, and the manner in which
Gonse squirmed and his woebegone ap
pearance almost aroused pity for him.
General Roget also appeared to be
gin to feel the cruel strokes the etat
major have been receiving of late. He
showed naught of his cruel, brazen
front today. On the contrary, Inis face
was quite livid when lie left the stage
after a very poor display, and he quit
ted the court room as soon as the pro
ceedings were over, excusing himself to
liis brother generals, Merrier and others
of a higher grade, on the ground of
feeling unwell.
The session ended with an exposure by
M. Hendon, chief of the Paris detec
tives, of the disgraceful tactics of the
etat major in suppressing his report in
favor of Captain Dreyfus, and inserting
a document more or less unfavorable
to him.
After a brief session in camera, the
public sitting of the court martial was
resumed at 7:15 o’clock - this morning.
The first witness called was an Austro-
Hungarian refugee named Cermischi.
This witness asked that a letter which
he had written to Colonel Jouaust lie
read, and it was done. In this letter
M. Cernusehi explained that, owing to
political troubles lie had been obliged to
seek refuge in France in September.
1894, remaining until 1897. While
lie was in France, the let
ter explained, a friend con
nected with tin* Foreign Office of an
other country' • mentioned to him the
names of certain French correspondents
of other powers. The first and most
important of these names, the writer as
serted, was that of Dreyfus.
Another of M. Cernuschi’s friends, ac
cording to this letter, showed him im
portant military papers, such as route
maps for mobilization of troops, docu
ments relating to the transport of troops,
diagrams of eastern railways, etc., which
lie declared came from Dreyfus, remark
ing further that everything was procur
able in France by the payment of
money, and adding:
“What’s the good of having Jews if
you don’t make use of them?”
Two days later, the letter said, M.
Ccrmischi’s friend precipitately left
Paris, and Dreyfus was afterwards ar
rested. The letter concluded with say
ing <that M. Cernusehi told all this to
an officer of the War Office, who wrote
it down.
M. Demange wanted the witness to ex
plain his intervention in the cause at
this late hour, but could elicit no re
ply.
M. Demange: “Has the Government
commissioner made inquiries concerning
this witness?”
Major Carriere replied in the negative,
and suggested that a secret session be
held in order to hear the witness’ ex
planations relative to the diplomatic side
of the question.
M. Labori declared ithalt since the
prosecution had applied abroad for evi
dence, which the defence had ulways
carefully abstained from doing, he re
served ithe right to use every possible
diplomatic means to ascertain if the
documents mentioned in the bordereau
had been betrayed and if so, by whom,
t Sensation.)
M. Labori asked the witness the na
tionality of the persons mentioned in
the letter.
M. Cernusehi: “I will give them in
camera. (Commotion.)
M. Labori: "As I moan that this wit
ness shall testify under oath, 1 ask that
a secret session be held tomorrow. I in
tend to notify the other side of his name.
He must testify under oath, for I wish
the parties against whom his evidence
is brought should have all the guaran
tees the law assures.” (Excitement.)
M. Andre, a clerk of M. Bertuius,
Judge of the Court of Cassation, testi
fied. •to hearing Lieutenant Colonel
Henry say to M. Bertuius: “Don’t in
sist I beg of you. Alk>vc all we must
save the honor of the army.”
Witness also heard Lieutenant Colonel
Henry say: “Leave me, Esterhazy, and
let Du Paty De dam blow out his
brains. That's all 1 ask.”
l>r. Wevi came forward to deny that
lie bad ever made statements attributed
to him with regard to the guilt of the
prisoner. He Quad always lel ho vet I Drey
fus innocent, and he vigorously protested
against such allegations. Dreyfus, the
witness said, was a model husband and
not a gambler.
M. Painleve, a professor in the Col
lege of France, followed at the bar.
M. Painleve exhaustively criticized M.
Bertillon’s cryptographic system, citing
in s'U'jqtort of his conclusions the opinio,i
of M. Henri Poincare, to his mind the
most illustrious matliemialiriniu of mod
ern times, who, hi a letter the wHtiiiess
read, examined seriatim the, deductions
iif M. Bertiilou and demonstrated their
fallacy, also pointing out miscalculations
made by M. Valerio.
General Gonse intervened at this
juncture. He was surprised, he said, at:
the imiportaaiee attached to tin* evidence
of M. Ilardamard and Painleve.
M. Painleve atserted that both M.
llarda.mn'rd and himself had always been
satisfied that Dreyfus was innocent.
As the altercation between General
Gonse and M. Painleve was rapidly bl
ooming heated, M. Labori intervened.
A sharp passage at arms followed be
tween M. I>abori and Colonel Jouaust.
leading to considerable excitement.
M. Laliori asked General Gonse why
lie had incorrectly reported certain in
formation he had collected.
Colonel Jouaust refused to put the
question, and invited M. La dm to
study moderation.
M. Labori retorted: The defence is
using its rights with the utmost mod
eration.”
Colonel Jouaust: No, you are not. 1
beg you not to drown m.v voice when
1 am speaking. Your very tone is want
ing in meoderation. Moreover. 1 con
aider the question nnmiportnnt.”
There were prolonged mariners of as
sent and dissent at this declaration by
Colonel Jouaust.
IM. Labori said he was surprised that
General Gonse had included incorrect
information in the swret dossier and
asked General Gonse who made up
the secret dossier.
General Gonse: “I compost'd one of
the secret dossiers by means of annexed
documents comm miniated to the Minis
try. but the minds of all the War Min-
Bears the »

isters were made up before they had ainy
cognizance of the documents.
M. Labori: “Does* General Gonse as
sume responsibility for those secret dos
siers to July, 1898?”
General Gonse: “Yes. 1 had charge
of tnem.”
M. Laltari: “llow happened it, then,
that a telegram from the French Am
bassador at Rome sent by the Foreign
Office to the Mar Office, rivfrring to
payments to EsteiQuizy Ivy an Italian
agent, was not added to the secret dos
sier?”
General Gonse: “There ware plenty
of others. All were not included, blit
only the most important.”
M. Labori: “Was the informationi m'
the French Ambassador at Rome of
less importance than the garbled con
versation of M. Painleve?”
Colonel Jouaust: "I will wot put the
question,”
M. Labori: “Why Was information
against Dreyfus always iiiMrl uided in tlio
dossier, and never any 'incriminating
Esterhazy ?”
Colonel Jouaust: “I also refuse to pm
that question.”
M. Labori: “All right. I think the
question itself fully answered the pur
pose.”
Commandant Ouigmet who made up the
secret dossier, replying to Colonel Jou
aust, explained that he omitted every
thing emanating from foreigners as in
terested and misleading to France.
r M. Labori continued in a surprised
way upon the fact that alleged fresh
proofs against Dreyfus were still spoken
of and demanded that all proofs la* pro
duced once for all.
Replying to M. Labori, Command',-in!
Cuig.net declared that there were* docu
ments relating to Dreynfs in a dos
sier connected with espionage in the
Inte 11 igenre Department,
M. 'Labori commented in a surprised
these documents must be produced at the
secret session of the court martial ai
which M. Cernusehi is to be examined.
Detective Genii ion testified regarding
the assertion to the effect fill at Paulmioy
the valet of Colonel Seliwurtzkoppon.
tin' Genmliin military attache, had seen
plans of fortresses signed by Dreyfus
ou his master’s table. AI. 1 leumvion fur
nished a typewritten report on the sub
ject showing that Panlmier never saw
nor ever said lie had ween such docu
ments.
M. Labori pointed out that the head
quarters staff had alleged that the de
tective only reported that Paulmier had
disappeared and that his address was
unkuiowii. Probably, M. Labori sug
gested. the gentleman at headquarters
merely misunderstood the report of the
detective.
M. Labori much regretted this report
could not be found, and added amid,
much excitement:
“But this is always the case. It is
always impossible to get at tin* bottom
of interesting incidents, owing to docu
ments being missing.”
Colonel Jouaust announced that there
would' he a sitting in camera tomorrow
morning. Upon suggestion of counsel for
the defence, the court martial there
fore adjourned for the day at 11.49
o’clock a. m.
AGAINST SECRET SESSIONS.
Paris. Sept. 4.—General the Marquis
De Gallifet, Minister of War, has al
lowed it to become known that he Is
absolutely opposed to secret sessions of
the Dreyfus court martial at Rennes.
It is stated that General I»e Gallifet
has telegraphed to the Government com
missary, Major Carriere, in this sense,
stating that tomorrow’s session of the
court martial in camera should be con
fined to acquainting the judges with the
name of the foreign Government men
tioned by Cernusehi, the Austro-Hunga
rian refugee who testified before the
court today and adding that the Govern
ment desires that the truth shall be es
tablished in the full light of day.
IIE BERATES THE GENERALS.
Esterhazy Says They are Victimizing
Him to Cover Their Own Faults.
Loudon, Sept. 4.—M.tjor Count Ferdi
nand Esterhazy, writing to the Even
ing News today, describes tin* expert
handwriting evidence in the court mar
tial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus at
Reillies as “an overwhelming mass of
stupid nonsense.” He refers to the
bite Lieutenant-Colonel Henry, Major
Du Paty IK* Clam and 'himself as being
“victimized by the general stall to cover
their own faults.”
Continuing, he says:
“Franco is being devastated. by a
civil war all the more abominable lo
calise it is not I icing fought with arms.
The Dreyfus verdict will not end The
strife. The acquittal of Dreyfus, for
which the Government is working se
cretly, w ill result in the complete disor
ganization of the French military sys
tem and the triumph of the Socialists.”
CBIINUSCHI A SHAM.
Vienna, Sept. 4.—The Nemo Fred Press
declares there is no such family as Cer
liuschi, the alleged descendant of Ser
vian royalty, who testified lalt Rennes
today, claims a* his ancestry. The paper
asserts that if his other statements are
equally false* he can only lie am impu
dent ad venturer.
ARBITRARY SPIRIT OF THE AD
MINISTRATION.
Manifested by its Mode of Punishing
the Attack on Negro Postmasters at
tile South.
To the Editor: No acts of the pres
ent administration have more fully char
acterized its arbitrary spirit than the
mode adopted' of punishing the attacks
on negro postmasters at tile South.
When a negro postmaster—or rather a
IKistmnstor at the South is molested,
for I have heard of this mode of pun
ishment or reprisal nowhere else —the
community in which it occurs is at once
deprived of all postal facilities. As
far as the power of the President goes
it. is as completely isolated as if an
impassable wall encircled it.
The economy of modern life Is such
that than this no greater blow can lx*
struck at the welfare of any community.
Than the opportunity of communicating
with the world n't large there is no
right more essential to the moral and
material welfare of a people.
The fundamental principle enunciated
liy Magna Charter, but far older —the
principle on which hang all Anglo-Saxon
law ami Anglo-Saxon liberty is: “That
no freeman shall be taken or Imprisoned,
or be disseized of his freehold or lilier
ties or free easterns, or be out lu wed or
exiled or otherwise damaged
but by lawful judgment of his peers or
by the law ol’ the land.” The usage
of u thousand years, the verdict of u
thousand battlefields had, It was thought,
established this principle forever.
Without usurping to himself the pow
ers of the two co-ordinate branches of
the government—the legislative and ju
dicial powers—the Federal Executive
cannot do what in these premises he
has done. If certain citizens of Georgia
and Florida have broken the law, let
the law deal with them. If it cannot,
if justice miscarries, what of that? Jus
tice is very much given to miscarriage
if my memory serves. If extra legal
rtoi>s are to he taken at this failure of
law why not take them at every failure
of law? It is a dangerous precedent.
Again if the guardian of the law break
the law ean others he expected to keep
it •
If every man, woman and child that
get their mail at Lake City or at
the Florida postoffiee, whose name I
do not recollect, were guilty of assault
ing the postmaster, if one and all after
wards banded 1 together to balk the exe
cution of law for their punls’hment, there
are no more grounds for extra legal
steps than whi n any other crime named
in the statute I took is committed.
But uni one would contend that even
a tithe of the members of the above
communities are guilty either of assault
ing the postmaster or of shielding the
offenders. That the innocent should
suffer with the guilty is oriental, not
American justice.
