Much Testimony, but Little
That Is New.

PICQUART STANDS UP FOR THE- JEW.

Assailant of Labori as Yet Undis-
covered—“Wounded Man Rapidly
Gaining—Threatening Letters

Received by Mme. Labor-i.

BENNES, Aug. 18.—General Roget,
M. Bertulus, the investigating magis—
trate, the widow of the late Lieutenant
Colonel Henry and Colonel Picquart
were on the stand yesterday. Mme.
Henry, after M. Bertulus had deposed,
asked leave to speak. She stood up in a
stagy manner, raised her left hand and
said, “Jc demande la pa1ole” (“I ask to
be heard' ’.) She wanted to contradict
what Beitulus had said regarding the
friendship of her husband and Ester-
hazy. She wanted to $1101. 13.: t Beitu-
lus could not possibly have \.1ung an
avowal from (Henry that he and Ester-
hazy formed an association of traitors.

Bertulus felt that it would never do to
argue with her, for tears were standing
in her eyes and the judges were looking
sympathetic. So he said that he pre-
ferred saying nothing to a lady whose
grief he respected and whose angry ex-
citement he pardoned.

General Roget again showed extraor-
dinary forensic ability. I do not know
what the military worth is of the gener-
als who are acting here as witnesses, but
I do not wonder at the old judges of the
court of cessation being jealous of their
argumentative capacity, their skill in
turning a1 case inside out, in puzzling
Innuendo, in casuistry and in elegant
verbal facility.

Mercier is wonderful in these respects.
Billot is not inferior to him, but Roget is
of both in forensic skill,
acumen and suggestiveness.

Dreyfus was under Roget as an out-
sider at the general staff and seemed tor-
tured by his arguments and the points he
made—points that went home to the mili-
tary judges and were’intended to poison
their minds. Finally he could stand it no
longer, and, starting up, his eyes gleam-
ing with anger, he cried

"You deal only in argumentation. I
have listened to you for hours without
hearing a single fact.”

There were, nevertheless. some facts
yesterday, but they were adduced to de-
stroy the credit of Colonel Picquart, who
was represented, when head of the intel-
ligence department, as playing a crooked
part and keeping back every .piece of in-
formation unfavorable to Dreyfus.

Maitre Demange made many happy
points in putting questions to General
Roget, who dodged them with presence
of mind and address and, when in a cor-
ner, with cool impudence. Still, Roget

: had the ear of the court. He knows how
to speak to Specialized military minds.

——‘

 

The evidence of M. Bertulus was on
the whole favorable to Dreyfus, in the
judgment of civilian listeners. Unfortu-
nately his reputation is blown upon. He
belonged, when at Nice, to the South
railway gang and, as the magistrate
sent to investigate their swindle, played
into their hands. Roget alluded to this
and to other doings of Bcrtulus and
showed that he did not respect him.

M. Labori’s assailant is still undiscov-
ered. At a convent of Marists at (lesson,
near Rennes, the brothers vainly search-
ed fior him. This has won sympathy for
the Clerical party, as it was thought a
brotherhood might shelter him.

An hypothesis that seems nearer to
truth is that he is a soldier, who was
given a suit of clothing and told where
to exchange it for a uniform, which he
could again don as soon as Labori was
shot.

Maitre Labor-i was able to leave his
bed for three hours yesterday, and even
to walk thrice across his room. Last
night the doctors thought he would be
able to appear at next Monday’s session.
Mme. Labori has received a number of
menacing letters. One that came yester-
day said the writer was sorry the would
be assassin had not killed not only La-
bori, but his wife and children.

A Bad Stomach.

COLUMBUS, 0., Aug. 18.—Eliza
Day, colored, aged 60 years, a patient at
the Columbus hospital, who was receiv-
ed from Marion, 0., ten years ago, has
died from peritonitis, and an autopsy re-
vealed in her stomach the handles of five
silver spoons and 50 cambric needles
and in the bowels nearly 50 more nee-
dles. About a year ago the woman told
an attendant she had swallowed several
spoons, but an examination failed to dis-
close the presence of any foreign object
in her stomach. The woman never ap-
peared to suffer any pain. The bowls of
the spoons are supposed to have been
corroded by the acid of the stomach.

It Was a Fierce Storm.

SAVANNAH.‘ Aug. 18.—Captain H.
C. Daggett of the steamship City of Au-
gusta, just arrived from New York, aft-
er passing though the West Indian hur-
ricane, r'ep01ts that the storm was one
of the so» e1est he has ever encountered
during an experience of many years. The
City of Augusta was four days and sev-
en hours from New York and was ex-

. pected in port 48 hours before her ar-

rival.

New York’s Response.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Funds for the
relief of Porto._Rican sufferers received

retary of v. ar, has received a total of

A Chicago Party That Started For
the Goldfields Returning Poor.
SEATTLE, Aug. 18.—W. H. Rose-

caulp of Chicago ,who was a member of
the Dusty Diamond party of Chicago,
has returned from Alaska. The party
was composed of 50 men. They sailed
from Seattle in May, 1897, intending to
go to Dawson City. Through ill luck
they reached St. Michael’s late and were
detained there until it became too late to
make the trip up river. Then they head-
ed for the Fish river country, in the Go-
lovin bay district, from which good re-
ports were coming.

There they have remained ever since.
The expedition outfit cost an even $50,-
000, $1,000 being contributed by each
member of the party. After 16 months
of enduring hardships and privations
they have been enabled to draw out $400
to the man.
