(Judge A. M. Keiiry, |n Virginia Law
Ifeglstei.)
The stenographic report of the first trial
of M. Zola, a volume of over a thousand
?O pa? a, has Just been published, and
I have thought It might Interest the read
ers of tho Virginia Law Register to have
BtSd some of the differences between
the French procedure and our own, as
tlieirein exhibited.
Tim history of the very interesting case
out of which this trial grew Is, briefly,
this: In the latter part of Deeembci
Captain Alfred DrsyfUS, an artillery ofO>
r, attached to the general Btaff, and on
duty at the Ministry of War, was tried by
court-martial, with dOOOd doors, on the
?hirge of IrSSOOnnbli communication of
army secrets to a foreign government.
He was foaad guilty, senteaeed to de
iriadatiun from his rank, expulsion from
iti" army, and perpetual confinement In a
; colony.
It is not contested that the only Crl
d. boo of his guilt. *if which either he or
his counsel had knowlodgs, WBS the Bi

trials, "the bordereau"?a document with

preme Court) the magistrate;* an called
"counsellor*?." This may be a convenient
piaee to add that lawyers are in
dressed in France as bfOttSh ur, but always
* as M.litre.
Oa the opening of the court the prsSS*
? dent notified the accused that if they had
any objection of fo.-m to interpose It
must be done then, since BftSf the ?ir-r
' Juror was drawn such objections would
be Inadmissible. On their replying that
they had none, the names of thirty ju
i-urs were placed hi an uni. and a list of
them furnished to the prosecuting offle er

pearing further) Bttu to each of the ac

* remaining nineteen twelve ?lrew places |n

were drawn. Whose duty It Is to listen to
the proceeding?, as the regular nanaL but
they are only put In the box In the case
of sickness or other csuse compelling one
or bas of the regular Jurors to with
draw?an expedient whose wisdom was
shown In this trial, where one of the Jury
broke down.
The charge was then rend by the Clerk
igreffteri, and It may be worthy Of note
that the publisher was arraigned as prin
cipal and Zola as accomplice.
The authority of the court Is forced
upen the attention of a stranger In many
ways ?luring a French trial. Thus, the
Prosecutor asks leave to speak before he
I the case, and the President for
mally authorizes him. All questions are
Propounded to the witnesses by the Pres
ident, not by the lawyers, who only in
di ate them-a. system which prevents the
reply to an illegal question getting to the
Jury; which obviates unseemly wrangles
between witnesses and counsel; which
gives the witness a moment of reflection
before answering, but which also pCS
vents that occasional extortion of the
truth from an unwilling witness which
comi'g from rapid examination. -.
The causes of incompetence are m?*?Te
numerous than with ua. Ko witness who
Is father, granfather, son. grandson,
mo'.her, grandmother, daughter, grand
daughter. or other relative, directly as
cendant or descendant, can testify. Nei
ther can husband or wife, even after di
vorce, nor can any servant or employee,
nor any collateral relative to the fourth
degree.
Hetore opening the case fhe Avocat
'encrai moved to SXdOdl from the CUSS
certain proposed proofs of faits as not
pertinent, and submitted a written BXgtt
ment, in a rory condensed form, to sup
port his reimest This writing is called
lus "conclusions." The accused replied
atoo by "conduaiona," and th.* <_*ourt,
after a. brief deliberation, returned with
a Judgment also in writing, supporting
the demand of the Prosecutor. And so
throughout, every exception is presented

In writing, the latter terminating always
with B written Judgment. Bvstt so trivial
a matter as the BUbsUtuUon of a supple
