LOOKS BAD
FOR DREYFUS.
IContlnued from First Pace.)
Writing to his brother, the prisoner
Bard: "While one or more scoundrels
are walking free, it would be a happy
release for me to die, but it would be
a disgrace to Lucille and my children."
In this letter the writer urged his
brother to find the culprits, while care
fully protecting the interests of the
country.
"Is not that the cry of an innocent
man?" asked M. Demange. "Yet though
Genenal de Boisdeffre received the let
ter, he did not forward it to Mathieu
Dreyfus. Five Ministers of War," said
M. Demange, "pronounced Dreyfus 1
guilty, while admitting it was impos
sible to produce proofs. General de
Boisdeffre, General Gonse and General
Roget also affirmed their belief in his
guilt. But, happily, they stated rea
sons and instead of proofs only ac
cumulated presumptions."
After pointing out that the Generals
only studied the case at the very mo
jnent when public aberration had re
duced the whole question to a conflict
between Dreyfus and the army, thus
making it impossible that the Generals
should not be prejudiced, and probabil
ities and presumptions seemed to be
proofs, M. Demange said: "I must
acknowledge, however, the honesty and
honorable conduct of the Generals who
could not have acted otherwise than
they have done."
Counsel then paid an eloquent tri
bute to the "honesty of purpose" man
ifested by the Generals.
' Dealing next with the confessions,
counsel read the report of Captain Le
Brun-Renault of the Republican Guard,
who had the prisoner in custody pre
vious to his degradation, and main
tained that the exact words of Drey
fus, which were now known, only re
flected ideas Colonel Dv Paty de Clam
had previously expressed to the pris
oner, adding that "all that Dv Paty de
Clam maintained to the contrary, it
/was certain that imagination had play
ed a much greater part than reason in
the acts of Dv Paty de Clam."
It was also significant that the re
port drawn up by Dv Paty de Clam on j
the day following his interview with
Dreyfus had disappeared. Dv Paty de |
Clam, counsel pointed out, had evident
ly forgotten other facts.
M. Demange said he was surprised j
at the attitude of General Gonse
toward the alleged confession, and
added that Captain Le Brun-Renault,
who was sent to the Ely see Palace ex
pressly to repeat the confessions, did
not mention them. It was likewise in
explicable that General Saussier and
General Mercier took no steps to ver
ify the so-called confessions, which
were"lost sight of until M. Cavaignac
sprung them on the Chamber of Dep
uties as proof of the guilt of Dreyfus.
The Court of Cassation had justly de
cided that they were not confessions.
Proceeding to discuss the secret dos
sier, M. Demange examined the docu- i
ments one after another. He said that
all interpretations of the document
commencing "doubts proof" were \
hypothetical, but they applied much
more easily to Esterhazy than to
Dreyfus. It was so with other docu
ments. There was nothing to indi
cate that Dreyfus was concerned any
more than anyone else. The leakage
ascribed to Dreyfus could only refer
to the plans of fortresses, and this
leakage continued until 181)8. No
credence could be attached to some of
the documents while others could not be
ascribed to the prisoner.
The sixth document was a letter
written by Count yon Munster Lenen
burg, the German Embassador to
France from Germany, to Colonel
Schwarzkoppen. the military attache of
Germany at Paris, containing the
words, "as regards Dreyfus, we are
easy."
M. Demange pointed out that the
Deryfus case was the universal talk
of Germany at the time, and the first
German official might have been un
easy, but have evidently reassured
themselves.
Counsel was indignant that because
Count yon Munster-Ledenburg had not j
expressly declared Dreyfus was inno- j
cent, the prosecution had deduced 1
from his words an avowal of his guilt.
In regard to the letters of November j
2d and November 11th, sent by Major!
Panizzardi to his chief, it has been al- j
leged that they proved that Drey- j
fus had relations with Schwarz- j
koppen, whereas, in reality, Major |
Panizzardi merely denied that Dreyfus ,
had any relations with Italy. It was
Impossible to doubt the authenticity of
these facts. It was incredible that
Colonel Schwarzkoppen and Major j
Panizzardi deceived their Governments. (
The omission of Esterhazy's name j
from these letters was intentional.
Concluding his examinations of the
secret dossier, M. Demange remarked
that he felt compelled to refer to these
documents emanating from foreigners,
as General Mercier relied upon them !
to support the guilt of Dreyfus. The '
statements of the military attaches j
that they had no relations with |
fus had been confirmed by the state
ment of the Minister in the Reichstag, !
who could not have been deceived by
his attache at Paris.
"I have finished," said M. Demange,
"my examination of the secret dossier.
All France knows the worthlessness of
Kb contents. Yet it is owing to it that
the country has been distracted for
months, and it has been thought that
there were documents and proofs in
It which might bring France to blows
with a neighboring power. You are
now acquainted with it. The secret
dossier has been exploded. You will
pardon me the loss of time I have im
posed upon you. I will now take up
the circumstantial evidence."
A brief adjournment of the court was
here announe^pl.
Counsel was warmly applauded as he
took his seat.
On the resumption of the session. M.
Demange discussed the circumstantial
evidence adduced in 18i>4. He said the
perturbation of Dreyfus at the dicta
tion scene had nothing to do with pro
ducing the idea of guilt in the minds
of those present. Colonel Dv Paty de
Clam, M. Rochefort and M. Cribelin
were all convinced beforehand of his
guilt, as a result of his evidence which
they considered unimpeachable, so
much so that they wished Dreyfus to
blow out his brains, but Dreyfus de
clined because he was innocent.
M. Demange successfully showed the
hollowness of the stories of Mathieu
Dreyfus' attempt to corrupt Colonel
Sandherr, the late Lieutenant Colonel
Henry's theatrical denunciation of
Dreyfus as a traitor at the court
martial of 18m, and the reports of the
detectives. He pointed out how the
prosecution had advanced as* proof
the alleged statements of individuals
who were not in any War Office, but
whoha they carefully abstained from
producing for examination, especially
dwelling upon Henry's statement in
1894, which has since been admitted
to be false, that a certain War Office

employe informed him that Dreyfus
was the culprit.
M. Demange then showed the empti
ness of the gambling and libertine
charges against the prisoner and said
the simplest act of Dreyfus was mis
construed, even his legitimate desire
to obtain knowledge being imputed as
a crime. "Could a spy have main
tained the haughty demeanor Dreyfus
always showed toward his comrades?"
After demonstrating the falsity of
the evidence of M. Beaurepaire's wit
nesses, Mueller, Dubrieul, Villon and
Gernuschi, counsel said the only proof
left was the bordereau. Who could
have sent it? Who wrote it? Com
plete light could only be shed on it
by the production of the notes enumer
ated in the bordereau. This had been
said by General Zurlinden himself. But
counsel asked the Court to remember
that with reference to those notes all
General Deloye could say was that it
was not impossible that Dreyfus might
nave possessed them. This was all he
could say when it was a question of
high treason.
M. Demange added: "You will 'not
find this phrase in the mouth of a wit
ness entitled to your respect, and it is
on the strength of such a statement
that Dreyfus is to be proved guilty.
I will not attempt to obtain such light
on documents, but since theories have
been promulgated I will suggest one.
I will seek to show that you must even
put aside technical value of the bor
dereau and the last effort of the prose
cution. I will seek to combat the cir
cumstantial evidence it has evoked."
At the request of M. Demange the
Court, at this juncture, adjourned un
til to-morrow.
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Mark Seheffel's Experience With
Two Strangers.
A man named T. Mark Scheffel ar
rived in this city and had an -experi
ence he will remember fftr some time.
He went to the Western Hotel only to
find that hotel full, and was bemoan
ing his sad fate, when two men under
took to sympathize with him.
They told him they could conduct him
to a room on another street, and he,
thinking he had struck a good thing,
went with them.
They took their victim down on
Front street to a point between L and
M. and coming to a nice, dark spot,
one of them struck him over the eye,
he thinks with brass knuckles.
Scheffel, however, declined to ba
knocked down and robbed and raised
an outcry, whereupon his assailants
departed.

San Francisco, Sept. Sth.
Wheat at the Call Board opened at a

\ with sample business very quiet. The lo
cal spot market for Barley had an easier
'tone, owing to a large Increase in the
receipts, to-day's arrivals being 20,240 cen
tals, of which tj,o4<j centals were from the
