Court Precludes Testimony ns to Documents in the Seciet Dossier. Proceedings nt the Fhst Court Mat tinl Shown to Have Been Ir regular. Rennes, Aug. 21 When the proceed ings In the second trial by couit martlal of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, c hinged with treason, weie continued today In the Lycee heie Colonel Jou aust, president of the couit, unlet oil that the testlmon given before the tourt of cassation by M. Penot, a. filend of tho late Colonel H.indheer, chief of the Intelligence department, be lead b tin clerk ot the couit The testimony was to the effect that Col onel Santlheet had said tint the Drey fus faiiiilv had ofieted him 1 '0.000 fiancs on condition that he would clear Dre f us Maltie Demange. for the defense, dls nosed of that allegation by reading the at (mil note on the subject wiltten by Colonel S.indheii, theieby proving that the colonel's temarks had been distort ed Dievfus" s brothels meitly having said "We are convinced of the innocence of our brother nnd will spend oui en tile fortune to discover the truth" The testimony of theWUst witness of the day, M. Linolle, n tornir olllclnl of the government, was also In favor1 of Drefus, as it vvas In dlieet contra diction of what At. du Rreull deposed yesterday tegardlng the alleged Inti macy of Dreyfus with the Geiman at tache at the house eif M. Hodson, a mutual friend. A Scared Colonel. Colonel Mum el, who was president of the Dieyftis coutt-martlnl In 1S14. was the next witness called. Silence fell on the court ns the Infant i y .ser geant, who was acting as usher, en tered the hall and t onducted the col onel to tho stand. Tle olllcer was at t li od In a black frock coat nnd wore the red llbbon of the Legion of Honor at his buttonhole. His hair is giay and he has a ragged, Iron-grav mus tache. His face showed anxiety As M. Lab'Ml lashed him with pointed questions, he hesitated and then an svvoied In a shoit, snappy manner. When the advocate had finished with him he left the platform with a pale face and rcit'hI look. '"ounsel had wrung fiom the witness a confession that the seciet dossier bad been communicated to the ludgos of the cmut-niartlal in 1894 by Colonel du Paty de Clam That avowal pro duced a sensation In the couit loom and the colonels assertion that he read onlv one of the documents did not af fect the main fact, while his ptotost.a tion that the tending of the document had no effect on him. ns his mind had been made up, was nullified by his sub sequent statement that the one docu ment had sufficed to convince him. Mnltie Laboil then put a seiles of searching questions to Geneial Mer rier with reference to the communica tion of the secret dossier for tile court martial nnd the general's nttltude In 1R14. An Interesting scene followed. The general refused to icply to all the questions nnd there weie shaip pass ages at arms between counsel and Col onel Jouaust, who sustained the gen eral In his lefusals to answer, while the dialogue between the general and M Laborl became acrimonious. Coun sel lost his temper and showed It In bis voice nnd gestures, but the genernl, however troubled his mind might have been, seldom departed from the callous demeanor chaiacteilstlc of him The lawer made a stiong point of the pait Hsterhazy had plaed. Mercler said he did not know Hsteihazv and had seen him only once, nt the Zola trial. "That is verv Inteiestlng," exclaimed M. Laborl. "Hut surely Geneial Met -cler was present nt the (F.storhazy tilal?" The geneial leolled that he was not there and that he knew nothing about the testimony or evidence In the Hster hozy prosecution "What"' cried M. Laborl. "Geneial Mercler. who was the chief accuser of Dreyfus, did not even follow the pro ceedings In the Hstorhuzy trial?" A loud'muimur of surprise and Indig nant comment came fiom the audience, but Colonel Jouaust Immediately sup pressed It. Counsel then hi ought Geneial Mer cler to his assertion that tbirty-flvc million francs weie spent by the de fenders of Dre fus nnd asked the gen et nl to siy how he knew that, who spent It and other awkward questions, which the general declined to answer. A question ns to how the bordereau arrived at the offices of the general staff. Its date, etc, vvas then put that If cl to a strange scene for a court of law. Generals to the Rescue. General Roget. on mounting tho plat form to give explanations, was foi lowed by General do Holstbffie, M. Grlbelln, Mnjor Lauth and other wit nesses, all holding up their hands to signify that they deslied to speak, whll" at the same time M. Laborl was filing questions nt General Mercler The con sequence was n perfect babel until the president of the couit could stand It no longer, and when the government com mlsiiaiy, Major Carrleie. alsu Interpel lated a few icmnrks. he turned to him and asked him to be quiet, lemaiklng that the Judges could not hear half a dozen persons nt the same time During the course of the inclining M Laboil questioned Gen. Meieler with refeience to a document In the sec-ft dnsslei, which, It Is nlllrmed, cxlstel pi lor to 1S91 ond yet It was not pro duced at the first couit martial of the pilsouer. The geneial confessed that he did not know of Its existence and the same statement wnH elicited frein Gen Cuvv-a. who assorted thut Col, Sandherr was lesponslble for Its nen pioductlon, The leplles were tanta mount to a confession that Col. iSniid heir nnd Lieut. -Col., Heniy plnyc I with the minister of war and with Gen. Gonse, assistant chief of headquatt ers staff, and that he kept fiom them Just what he pleased. M. Laboil then took up the Patilv! zanll despatch und endenvored to bring out the contradictory translation" of It and the falseness of the final eislon. j-' f ter hearing Oeneial Mercler anil Gen. Chamlon on the subject. Col Jouaust ruled out the testimony. The examination of Gen Me ler having been concluded, Col. Jouaust asked Die fus If lie hail anything to say. and the prisoner, In a calm volco leplleil to GeiL Meicier's stntem. nt thut he, Drefu.s, could have obti.'noil the Infoimatlou about the nrtlllry, promised In the nutdteau, while stay ing nt Hourges, wheie artllleiy i nl3 were being held. The pilsouer ex plained how he spent his time, show ing that he did not Inform himself about the tilals of the new gun hinke. Gen. Rlsbourg lecounted what Capt. Lebrun-Renault said about Drejtus and that brought the latter to hU fe"t again with an asset tlnn that the cap tain shook him by the hnnd when he letuined to the prison, which Is a v.u lance with what Gen. Rlsbouig re counted "Moicover" ciled Dievfus, "whin a filglitful chaige has been hanging over n man's head for live vears, pimis, ought not to talk of convictions but should bilng pi oofs Otheiwlse, I cms to untlei stand the mnttei " Continuing, Dreyfus piocecded to deny the report that he had mad a confession to Capt. Lebrun-Renault The remainder of the session was oc cuoled with the tleoosltlon of minor witnesses, principal! v M Beauiepalie's puppets, whose testimony, when It did not bote the public In the couit loom, caused metrlinent Inteiestlng Scenes. Two Interesting scenes weie enacted The first one occeuned when M. Laborl asked Geneial Roget to give his opin ion of Hsteihnzy's lole and his visit to the Gei man embassy October T, 1S97. General Roget leplled. In n tone of dis dain. "I absolutely refuse to tell you " M I. aboil Insisted, but the president of the couit lefusetl to allow Geneial Roget to lespond. In the second M. Laborl nnd Colonel Jouaust we:e the uctois. The roallst deputy, M de Grandmalson. made a dap-trap tirade against foreigners in tervening In the affaii. He emploved n grandiloquent stvle. nnd ended by ndiiinulshliig the couit ns follows "If you think Dreyfus Innocent ac quit him Hut If ou decide be Is guilty, you must pionount e his condemnation." As the deputy was leaving the stand Maitre laboil called him back, but Col onel Jouaust refused to allow the dep uty to be questioned. Counsel became Indignant ami insisted on bis light to cross-examine the witness. A warm altetc.it Ion ensued between the presi dent of the court nnd counsel. The former, however, was fli in and M La borl sat down, apparently In a very bad temper A number of other witnesses were heard, Including M. Quesnay de Heau lopaiie's friend Mul'er, who was re sponsible for the stoty that he found a maiglnal note on the subject of the arrest of Dievfus on a newspaper In Hmpeior William's bedroom nt Pots dam He testified to that effect Colonel Jouaust lefusetl to permit Genernl Roget to be lecalled. That was regaided as Indlcntlng a desire ot the colonel to shorten the case. The court ndlournetl for the day at It lri n in SUCCESS OF JIMINEZ. His Revolution Progressing in nn Encournging' Mnnner.
