Lubori Once More Asks for I>u Paty
de Clam—His I{e<]uest Denied Hy
the Court —Immense Sensation Is
Created—Maurel Curses and De
nounces Judicial Formalities.
Henens, Aug. 29.—The unexpectedly
violent incident nt tlie Dreyfus trial in
which Gen. Mercier and Col. Maurel
were given the lie by Capt. Freystaet
ter does not possess the importance
tliat one might be disposed to attach
to it. However great may have been
the irregularities of the llrst trial they
will change nothing lot- the present
court-martial.
It is evident that Col. Maurel is a
weak man and seems rather overeau
ious than willfully wicked, lie made
a great mistake, when, desiring to
prove to the Court that tin' coniiuunlca
tious than willfully wicked, lie made
no influence on the Judges, lie mention
ed that he had only read onti docu
ment.
Half the truth is worse than a com
plete lie. Col. Maurel found to liis cost
when Capt. Freystaetter, a splendid
soldier and another of Dreyfus's judges
of 1894, swore that ail Hie documents
were communicated to the Court.
Col. Maurel's Jesuitical explanation
was that he had only read one docu
ment himself. He did not say that
others had not read more.
Ills explanation raised a show of
wrath in the audience. For onee the
audience was not antl-l>reyfns.
The tactics of the Headquarters Staff
by which it obtained the convict ion in
1894 are apparently disgusting to the
majority of the people present. Col.
Maurel. who could not survive the
initial sin. made a confession. He had
been led on dangerous ground by
Maitre T.abori. and only made matters
worse in the eyes of ids superiors.
After the sitting Gen. Mercier met
Col. Maurel in the courtyard and re
proached him bitterly for having al
lowed himself to be drawn out by La
bori's persuasion. Col. Maurel com
plained of and cursed the judical for
malities and said he had foutfd him
self drawn out before he knew where
lie was.
('apt. Freystaetter's declaration con
cerning the biographical notes on Drey
fus showing treachery at the Polytech
uei School, tin* military school, ami at
Ihe Headquarters Staff was a feature
In the cast' which brought a new light
to everything. The revelation created
a bad impression, showing the determi
nation of the General Staff to obtain a
conviction more deliberate than had
been imagined.
The sensation in the court was ex
treme when Gen. Mercier came to the
rescue of the Colonel by creating a
diversion in saying that lie had caught
('apt. Freystaetter in a "flagrante de
licto" of lying.
But for the difference of ages a duel
could not be avoided. Capt. Frey
statet glared at Mercier.
Maitre l.abori's intervention in de
manding an independent medical ex
amination of Du Paty de Clam seemed
severe 1o the judges, but there is su
preme interest in having his evidence
now while all the Generals are at log
gerheads concerning the contents of
the secret palters communicated in
1894. Tie alone can settle this defi
nitely.
When the Court had refused the re
quest Maitre l.abori's complaint that
lie had to deal only with the dead or
dying created an immense sensation.
T.abori exclaimed: "Col. Sandherr is
dead. Henry is dead. Pu Paty is un
able to come." Truly tills affair is
made up of cemetery corpses as well
as reputations.
May Cause a devolution.
Itennes. Aug. 28. —If Dreyfus is con
demned by the court-martial at Itennes
the Socialists of Paris, it is averred,
will start a revolution in 1 lint city.
There is. also a threat that the Lycee
at Itennes will be blown up by Italian
anarchists. The latter threat lias
greatly alarmed the authorities at
Itennes.
Photographs which Rertlllon used
recently to prove Dreyfus the writer
of the bordereau turn out to have been
touched to make them fit Hertillon's
theories. T.abori will demand that the
originals be produced so that lie can
show the truth of tills.

(PHILADELPHIA)
IT'S DIFFERENT*, because It prints
all the news, and all the news it prints
Is true.
IT'S DIFFER EXT. because It's bright
and brisk, up-to-date and vigorous, but
not yellow.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because its only
policy is to tell the truth. It has no
covert or personal interests to promote.
It serves no political ambition, no creed,
no class prejudice, no mere partisan
purpose.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it advocates
equal taxation and battles against the
existing system, which favors the rich
corporation at the expense of the
farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer
and the wage-earner.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it stands
for Republican principles, and makes
war upon all who, under the stolen
name of Republicanism, are disloyal
to those principles.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it believes
manhood and not money should rule.
Therefore It upholds the rights of all,
as against the aggressive power of the
privileged few.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because no boss, no
corporation, can control one line of Its
space.
IT'S DIFFERENT, because it Is nop
sectarian and broad; every party, every
faith, every class, and the workingman
equally with the millionaire, gets a (air
hearing in its columns.
IT'S DIFFERENT, be-
cause It upholds (aith In ONE
humanity, and the pro- CENT
gress of mankind toward Evarv
higher Ideals, larger .
hopes and better living. wnerc
i IT'S DIFFERENT. It will continue t<"
be different. Watch The North Am'
