loath — fie Complaint against
Wuipsrt lea.
There Is trouble again at Saugatuck
over the oyster question and as a re-
sult a number have been arrested for
taking oysters out of the river before
October 1st. This Is a law enacted .n
the-year 1876. and which has been al-
most ever since Its passage entirely
Ignored until now.
Some one who is desirous of having
the law enfdrced made the complaints
and the writs were handed to officers
Edward and Allie Allen. Those ar-
rested were a number from South Nor-
walk. as follows: James Smith. Wash-
Ington M. Sherrott.
George Mackenzie..Albert Gelb. Ufford
‘Hine. Charles Tobey, George and Sr-
nest Talmadge and Fred Lyon. All of
these were alleged to violating the law
by the taking of seed oysters before
October 1st.
The cases were tried yesterday be-
fore Justice George Burr Smith. Al-
bert 0er was the only one brought be-
fore him. and he was found guilty
of the "misdemeanor." and fined if
and costs, the justice remarking that
he was sorry he could not make the
fine smaller, as all the town wanted
was to get the costs of the case. The
other men agreed to stand by the de-
cision In Mr. Geib's case. and all ap-
pealed to the Superior Court In Bridge-
port, where the cases will be tried next
month.
Mr. Lyon told a Sentinel representa-
tive that the law under which they
were arrested was a town by-Iaw. en-
acted twenty-five years ago and had
never been enforced. In fact, the par-
ties accused of violating It had no
knowledge of Its existence. The men
have engaged Attorney Sherwood to
defend them. and ropose to fight the
case.
About twenty\Wcstport men were
caught at the same time, but the grand
Juror refused to sign complaints for
them. evidently preferring to single
out the Norwalk oystermen.

Dreyfus was sentenced to ten years

The court stood five to two for the
condemnation of the prisoner. but
found extenuating circumstances.
chnes. September 9—«The appear-

minds of any one that the final crisis
of the great trial had been reached.
Instead of scattered gcndarmcs guurl-
log the vicinity of the prison and the»
Lyccc. the whole town bristled wilii
soldiers. till the streets near the court
were guarded at intervals by double
lines of infantry, two companies of in-
fantry sat on the steps adjoining the
Lyccc. with their arms stacked In front-
of them, while in the courtyard of the
prison and at various other points cav—
alry could be soon in readiness.
iglivery one entering the court was
subjected to the closest scrutiny. Evan
the Women who attended the session
were deprived of their small sunshadcs
before being permitted to pass.
A larger crowd than usual witnessed
the passage of Dreyfus from the prison
to the Lyccc. But the crowds were no-
where large, and. aside from the pres-
ence of the military the town was as
tranquil as usual. ‘
The morning of the day which was
to decide the fate of Ilrcyfus broke dull
and cheerch and the court room was
filled with n cold. unsympathetic light.
which lent sadness to tile primer-dings. t

m.. and the court adjourned until 3 p.
m.. when Major Cari'lcrc will make '
brief reply. The court will then dclib
crate on Its verdict.
A loud clapping of hands greeted ihr
conclusion of M. Ilcmniigc's finally ii"-
lIvered peroration.
Dreyfus. however. appeared impns
sable. llut as he left his stage be ex
claimed to those around him: "I am
not guilty."
The prisoner’s hearers replied with
cries of "Courage." "Courage."
After M. Domangc had spoken. Mai-
trc Labori arose and formally renoun—
ced his right to plead.
Tho pcmratlon of M. Deniangc was a
splendid piece of oratory. Ills voile
thundered through the court and echo-
ed around the entrance hall. standing
on tiptoe, to catch a glimpse of thv
speaker. while inside the hall many of
the audience sat wiping their eyes.
The speech was very skillfully ar
ranged and was devoted to demolish—
Ing stone by stone the edifice built up
by the general stuff, going over every
point brought up In the borderenu and
refuting the arguments of Generals
Mercicr and Roget. The lawyer declar-
f'fi that he did not believe Henry and
listcrliazy were accomplices. otherwise
Ilcnry Would have suppressed the bor-
ilcrcnu. Iliit licnry might have given
information to Estcrhazy. believing
him to be a man of,honor. and when he
discovered In 1890 that he had put his
hand in that of a traitor. he committed
forgery. upon which counsel would not
dwell for he had paid for It with his
life. .
Referring to Major Carricre's words.
'It was agreed that the probationers
should go to the manoeuvres!“ M.
Ocmauge turned to thc public prosecu-
tor and asked: "Do you maintain thr-
worii. 'flgrccd,’ "
Major (‘arrlcrc nodded affirmative-
lv ‘ ‘
To this counsel protestcd. and Ma-
jor (‘arierc said General Ilcboisdeffre
had promised to do all possible to give
the probationers satisfaction.
“And do you call that an agree-
ment?" asked Demangc.
‘I'crfcctly." replied M. Carrierc,
~ "Then we no longer have the same
‘Ilca of the value of the word In tho
French language," retorted counsel.
Inter. refuting M._Bertlllon's theor-
ics. M. Demange remarked that M. Ber.
'iilnn had rendered a great service to
«winty In creating the. anthropometric
system. but Itm out not be forgotten
that genius has a dangerous neighbor.
Treating the argument of the general
staff that Hafcrhazy was only a man of
draw. counsel said that If this was i.)
l'ilif‘ when Matthieu Dreyfus denounced
him. M. Dcmange pointed bill the con-
trast bctwccn the private life of Ester-
