light upon the situation which existed

ment of the War Office, Re explained
that Henry was jealous of Pi-0quart be-

hoped to get forhimself. Codiere
pressed the belief that it was because
of Picquart that Henry committed his
forgery.
Dreyfus spoke a feerwords at the con-

WITH A JACK KNIFE.
Orillia Man Severed the 'Windpipe, Yet
llay iteeover.
A despate.h from Orillia, says:— For
some time bade Mr. Thomas Whipps,
an old and respected resident of Oril-
Major Leath first confronted Col.
Codiere, and tried, to score against hirn
by pointing out that Col.: Codiere was
incorrect in saying there were anti-
Semites on the general staff, since Co-
diere himself was one., The colonel re-
torted, turning the tables onthe Major,
as, raising his hands, he cried:—"Quite
true. I am an anti-Semite; but I
never bore false witness against the
Jew. I am an honest man." The audi-
ence applauded these remarks.
Col.Sodiere then adreinistered a If ell-
d.eserved snub to Major Lauth, by re-
marking that he, the Colonel, might be
allowed to know more than Major
Leath with reference to the work of
the intelligence departnaent, since he,
Colonel Codiere, replaced Col. Sandherr
as chief of the department whenever
Sandherr was absent; while Major
Leath, the witness concluded, "was
merely my assistant. My assistant,
mark you."
1VIajor Lauth did not enjoy this little
scene at all. ,
General Roget next confronted Colo-
nel Codiere. The General assumed the
same supercilious air which character-
ized him when he appeared at the wit-
ness bar, strutting about Dui stage in
disdainful attitudes. His evidence,
however, was not very striking, nor was
that of Col. Fleur, or M. Gribelin, ar-
chivist, who also contested minor
points of Col. Codiere's deposition.
Finally, General Mercier, who evi-
dently confronted the 1s:rib:Less in order
to demonstrate the baselessness of the
stories of his intentions to fly, and to
show his determination to fight to the
last, confxonted Col. Codiere. The Gen -
ears remarks were of small import-
ance the Most interesting being his
repetition of Col. Sa.ndlierr's opinion of
Mathieu Dreyfus, when the prisoner's
brother went to see the colonel, to ask
for justice in behalf of Captain Drey-
fus, Mercier admitted Sandlierr said:
—"Mathieu :Dreyfus irapresses me as
an honest man, who was prepared to
make any sacrifiee to save his bro-
ther."

A few weeks ago a new brick house he

preventing any desperate act. He got

Gen. Roget, with his usaal shrewd-

that Col. Scheeider ,expressed. aetonisla-
meet that French officers should have
the bad, taste to question the word of
foreign officers,. to mount the platform
and, make a short speech in defence of
the attitude of the French. officers, con-
cluding with the remark: "I intervened
because, when :Freneh officers are at-
tacked, they. have the right to defend
themselves."
These words will be published all
over France, and will tend to make
Gen. Roget more popular with the
army.
Gen. Deleye repeated his testimony
before the Court of Cassa4on, relating
to the 120 short cannon hydro -pneu-

Dreyfus, in reply, made a really
clear stateraent, explaining that he
saw the hydro -pneumatic brake once
at Bdurges, one at the School of War,
and. that he never saw it -used, -because
while on the general staff, he was
never present at firing practice.

FREED FROM RUSSIAN PRISON.
Nobleman Condemned for Murder is
Found to be Innocent.
A despatch from Moscow says :—The
Government on Tuesday ordered. the
release from the penal colony of Sagha-
lien, of .a young, nobleman, Alexander
Telma, who, was condemned in 1895 for
the alleged murder and robbery of his
aunt, the miserable widow of Gen.
Boldyreff, and the burning of her
house to hide the aims. A brass -smith
named Karp.off, having been arrested
the other day for another crime, con-
-fe,ssed that he had robbed. and murder-

M. DE PRYOINET'S EVIDENCE.
M. de Freycinet, the former Minister
of War, former Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and Premier, followed Col.
Codttre on the witness stand. The
court room was packed to its utmost
tapacity, as the distinguished French
statesman began his deposition. The
former minister is a vene.rable-booking
man, with scanty snow-white hair and
moustache, and was dressed in a blue
serge suit. M. de Freycinet began by
expressing the pain which he expen-
ienc,ed at the trouble his conntry was
undergoing, and, later, he said he re..
membered a conversation with Genere
al Jamont, at which there was a re-
ference to money coming from abroad
in eupport of the Dreyfus agitation,
"vehicle while disinterested in Prance,
might not be so abroad." The states-
= et, however, did not remember the
details of the conversation, nor could
he say if an amount was meetioned. M.
de Freycinet then alluded to his feats
the t "attacks on the chiefs bf the army
might he prejudieitil diseipline,
adding, "Might not these attacks lead
to the disappearanee of discipline, and
what would be the result if wa found
eurselttes in difficulties with anothet
aceintry V' In. short, M. de Freycinet
delivered a patriotic speech, rather
than a deposition, concluding with the
words: "All the World will accept your
verdict, which will open an era Of re,-
ooncitiation."
