ALL LOOK FOB HIS
CONDEMNATION
Even Labori his Counsel Has
Abandoned Hope Now,
WHY NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN
THE EXCITEMENT IS AT FEVER
HEAT.
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN AGAINST DISORDER
Labori Will Make no Speech. Deniange's
Thrilling Address. Morning of the
Last Day. Troops Pouring
into Rennes.
SPEECH FOR THE DEFENCE.
Rennes, Sept. That Captain Drey
fus will l>e condemned is the almost uni
versal opinion heard in Rennes tonight.
Hitherto there bad aiwajs hern a di
vergence, but now both camps?, the Drc-y
--fusards and the Auti-Dreyfusnrds, seem
unanimous ta ihe conviction that the
verdict will go against mm.
Upon just what this is based and the
precise reason for t.'ie c nclusion are a
mystery, but there is no disguising the
fact that, front M. Labori down to the
numerous Dreyfusards who crowd the
hotels and cases and vno last night were
still hopeful chat Dreyfus would be
saved, all seem iio.v to agree that his
last chance is gone.
The one sou.-or of hope is M. Labori
himself, who said this evening to the
correspondent of the Associated Press:
”We fear that Captain Dreyfus will
be condemned, but we do not intend
to throw up the sponge. We shall go
on fighting for him.”
M. .laures, the Socialist leader and
other prominent Dreyfosards, expressed
a similar opinion. Excitement is at
fever heat and nothing is discussed but
the verdict of tomorrow.
The military precautions are of the
most elaborate character, end no at
tempt at disorder is likely to have the
slightest success. Orders have been is
sued to repress the first symptom of
trouble with an iron hand.
A small anti-Semitic meeting was h
ort the
verdict may be delivered between 3 and
5 tomorrow afternoon, the court ad
journing after M. Demange’s speech
until 3 o’clock.
There is some criticism of M. Labori’s
decision, not to speak, the friends of M.
Demange thinking it his object to es
cape his share of the responsibility in
the event of a verdet of condemnation.
M. Demange, having once seen Drey
fus condemned under his advocacy,
would naturally like M. Labori to share
the criticism this time, especially as M.
Labori has assumed such a prominent
part in the proceedings.
A detailed report of she proceedings
follows:
A mill intense silence and holding the
keenest attention from the audience,
Maritre Demange shortly after the op
ening of the proceedings of the Dreyfus
court martial today, rose to make the
speech for the defense. His opening re
marks seemed to meet with approval.
“However solemn the occasion may
be,” he declared, "I must at the outset
protest with all my soul aganst the al
legation which one of the witnesses did
not shrink from uttering. This witness
did not hesitate to declare that whoever
advocated the rovison of this case —that
is to say, whoever believed in the inno
cence of Dreyfus—was working against
the army and against the country. I
here declare that he does not know me
and that he does not know Maitre La*
bori. Neither M. Labori nor myself
would be here if these statements were
true. iA-t me tell you simply this:
“The day on which, amid the shock
of furious poiitcal passions, I saw let
loose over our country this tempest of
madness, when I saw' everything I had
learned to revere and love since child
hood imperilled, I, a Frenchman, the son
of si, soldier, endured every torture.
Whin 1 turn my eyes to Devil's Island,
where w'iih buried alive one who, from
the bottom of my heart, I believe to be
» w*rtyr. I began to wonder if divine
jfistic** bad not abandoned him. Mince
then I have recovered. 1 have harken
ed to t he voice of my eonsoienee and
have pursu'd an undevlufrng course free
from anger and passion, not he ding liat
r*'d or f»rejudb'c. I have done my duty.
Yow will do jours, which is to mete out
j
(Vmiinuing M. Deuwtnge said he
Wished to fit’ll fly define the prisoner’s
pfMti'stt, *nyihti:
I “Whew the f’ftfto fit the revision began,
Dfoyfos was a convict and serious pre*
sumptions of his inoncence w*re neces
sary before Ihe case could be t aken up
by the Court of Cassation. Today, it
is for the public prosecutor to prove
his guilt. Lot no one blame us. there
fore, if we have not proved the ■'no
ence of our client. The task was not
incumbent upon us. It is for the Gov
ernment commissioner *o snow he is
guilty of the abominable crime imputed
to him.”
M. Detnange then protested against
the suggestion that it had been attempt
ed to put Esterbazy on trial, explaining
that all the defense desired was that
the innocence of Dreyfus should ap
pear, dazzling and complete, and that
she court martial should proclaim it.
Counsel was satisfied that the judges of
1894 were honest, like the present
judges. But, if the former had seen
Esterhazy’a handwriting they would
have pronounced a different verdict.
Counsel then entered into details,
dealing with the information collected
regarding the prisoner in 1894. He
said:
“The only real information is that
found in the cries from his soul. Even
before his conviction, what was his first
cry:
“‘I will nr* take my life, because
I am innocent.
M. Demange dilated on the prisoner's
increasing protestations of Innocence
and the touching letters to his family,
exclaiming:
“In them you see Ills soul, which
speaks. Alone in his tomb he com
munes with himself. Ho cherishes the
hope of seeing his innocence acknowl
edged.”
Among the letters of Dreyfus read
by M. Demange was one, after assort
ing his innocence and declaring he al
ways served the tri-color with devotion
and honor, the prisoner complained that
he was treated on Devils Island like

interest than any meeting of the Minis

Baltimore, Md., Sept. B.—The grand
jury for the May term upon being dis
charged today by Judge Dohler, ip the
Criminal Court, made the following stig
gestion in its report: ,
“The punishment of death, whether
judicially or illegally carried out, would
be considered the most, effective pun
ishment for rape which could be inflict
ed; it having failed, however in its re
sults, we would suggest castration and
imprisonment in all cases of conviction
instead of hanging.
‘'This punishment, unquestionably,
will prevent the criminal from again
committing this crime, and he will be
come a marked object and a living warn
ing, which we think will cans? others of
the same brutal propensities to hesitate
before they give way to their passions.”

THE DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA WINS
Close Score on Inter-State
Military Match.
GEORGIA JUST MISSED II
THE EVENT WON BY HER THREE
TIMES BEFORE.
OTHER MATCHES WON BY THE GEORGIANS
A Claim of Grave Discrepanci s Between the
Scores Recorded and the Hits Indica
ted on the Target Investiga
tion to be Made.
New York, Sept. B.—The H-t and on*?
of the most important of the team
matches at Sea Girt, V. J., was finished
today. It was the Inter slate Military
Match and was won by the District « f
Columbia team in a sensational finish.
Dickey, the last man to shoot on the
District of Columbia team, fired the
last shot of the match. Georgia hail
finished with a total for lx>*h ranges of
1,006. Tlu* District of Columbia team
had 1,001 and Dickey’s she had to be
a hull’s eye to tie the score. He made
it and then the spectators broke loose
and cheered Dickey and the District of
Columbia team until they were out of
breath. As Dickey’s shot tied the score,
tlu* match was awarded on the highest
aggregate team score made at the 503
yards. Georgia had made 501 at that
range and District of Columbia 507, so
the District of Columbia won the match.
It was the closest score ever shot in the
Inter-Skate Military Match since the
establishment of the event. In 1897,
1896 and 1895 this event was won by
Georgia.
Each member of the winning team
received a handsome medal.
The Georgia men have lost both of the
biggest team events, the one shot today
and the Hilton Match yesterday, both
of which they have won several times,
but they won the other big event, the
company team match.
In the last stage of the Hilton Match
yesterday, the Georgians asked for a
representation in the pit. This request
was not granted. When the New
Jersey team began to rum up their
wonderful score several Georgians de
clared it was impossible to make the
high scores that the New Jersey team
did under the conditions 4>f the day.
Last night a number of Georgians
unaccompanied by a range officer, visit
ed the pits with bicycle lanterns to ex
amine the target used by the New Jer
sey team. They returned late in the
evening and claimed to have discovered
grare discrepancies between the scores
recorded and the hits indicated on tlu*
target. This morning Lieutenant Col
onel Brooks and Inspector of Rifile Prac
tice Colonel Gann, of Georgia, and Gen
eral Harries, of the District of Colum
bia team, visited General Spencer, the
executive officer of*the meeting, ami told
him they had heard some of the rumors
about errors in the scoring on the New
Jersey target, but they assured him they
believed that neither he nor the man
agement would countenance any discrim
ination. They made no protest on the
match. The target used was removed
from the pits today, and an investigation
will be made by General Spencer.
At the close of toil ay’s shooting in the
President’s Match for individual cham
pionship, F. O. Wilson, of Georgia, led
with 181. i
