Heiines, Aug. 27. Amid the tedlotirt demonstrations of handwriting ex perts yesterday, the confiontntlou of Cnptaln 7'roystaetter with General Mercler and Colonel Mntirol, although It did not last ten minutes, burst like a bolt fiom the sky shedding a Hood, of light on the whole trial It w-.i altogether the most dramatic situation which has yet occurred here. Fieystaettor Is a tall, soldletly man. with an honet, penetrating glnnie; 'end clear, sonoious voice.

But ns I felt fa tigued 1 passed them to other mem bets of the court." "And I," Intel rupted Freystaotter, 'afilrm that Colonel Maurel not only rend all the secret documents, but abo commented on them to members of the couit."

I'roystaettor. without losing temper, retorted that it was a projectile, not the Uobln piojectlle. that "limit M com mented upon at the 1S94 court martial. Merolpr's bold diversion thus failed, and It was pitiable to see his confusion and collapse, when In absolute contra diction to his fnmous testimony of August 12. Freyst.u tter declared with eveiv evidence of truth, nnd without Mniiiel daring to gainsay him. that the faKe translation of Panlzzai ill's dispatch was retunlly communicated to the judges of the Ml court mirtlal. This Is astounding, for It Is now es tablished that Mete lor not onlv caused this false Panlzzaidi dispatch to bo spctetly communicated to the 1S9 1 court martini, but It Is the same falsi fied dispatch cilmlnallv retained by Du Paty do Clam that Mercler on Au gust 3, 1 )!)'. caused to be placed by General Chanolne, delegate of General Do Gulllfet. the minister of war.

The government has decided to prosecute the Eclair for the nublioatlon of the "canaille dead" document, one of the four docu ments societly communicated to the Dreyfus court martial of IS94 and which has been shown not to refer to Captain Dieyfus at all. The object of tho government Is to discover who communicated it to the l'cl.ilr The assumption Is that the communication was made bj Col Du Paty De Clam en possibly by Gen. Gnnse. The publication occurred thtee years ago but under the law prosecu tion can be maintained at any time dining the following live yeats. This evening It Is tumoied that the gov i lament has also decided to a i rest Gen. Moieler but the tumor Is not confiim ed. hast evening a lepott was In circul ation that Gen.
