Sensational Proceedings of tho Ses
sions of Saturday in the Dreyfus
Case Mercler Confused A Rumor
That the Government Has Decided
to Arrest General Mercler Has Not
Been Confiimed Gendarmes Guard
the General's Residence.
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. He stood
on the witness ptand side by side with
Mnurcl, who wns visibly embarrassed
by his presence, and who .said hes
tatlnglv "It is tine that t onlv read one docu
ment of the secret dossier brought by
Dii Paty do cinm to the court mar
tial judges In 1K9I. 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."
This caused stupefaction in the nu
ditoilum, which wns heightened by
Mnttrel's suddenly tinning pale nnd
muttering unintelligible words Mer
cler sptnng to his assistance, saving-
'I heaid Captain Freystaeltei allude
to the Uobln projectile as having b"on
the subject of one of the documents
dollveied to Germany. The memoran
dum concerning the Uobln prooetile
was not drawn up until lv7 or IS'.iR.
consequently Captain Freyst, totter is
detected In fligrante delletti of lying."
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. In
the seciet dossier and surreptitiously
communicated to the Hennes court
martial.
Hennes, Aug. 27. 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
