one thing In the United States and an
other In Porto Rlso or the Philippines.
"There has been doubt In some quar

harm In stating It her. Peace first,

Henri 'Weill, a former officer ln the
headquarters staff was then called, but
was absent and hla deposition was
read. Weill' statement in substance
wns that Esterhasy told him in 1894
that Dreyfus was innocent, but that
this would not prevent his conviction
because he was a Jew.
Bertlllon, the noted antrophometer,
was called aa the next witness. Ber
tlllon requested permission to bring In
his diagrams and papers. The request
was granted and Bertlllon retired for
a moment, returning at the head of a
squad composed of an Infantry serge
ant and four privates, all staggering
under the velnt of Immense leather
atohela. buleino with
documents, i
charts, etc.. whjch they deposited
the stage, as a roar of laughter echoed
throughout the court. Even the judge
were unable to suppress a smile aa
they gated on Bertlllon' stage proper
ties, strewn over halt the platform.
The witness began by saying only in
telligent men could follow his explana
tions. Bertlllon commenced his deposi
tion at 8:30. It occupied the whole of
this session and will perhaps occupy
a good part of tomorrow's session. The
courtrooms presented a curious scene
while Bertlllon, whom the Dreyfusards,
ln their most Indulgent moments, de
scribe as a "dangerous maniac," spent
the three remaining hours of the ses
don In explaining In unintelligible
term, hi "fallible lystem" of proving
Dreyfu the author of the bordereau.
The majority of the public, however,
utterly unable to comprehend BerUI
Ion' theory, had left the courtroom.
Even Madame Blanch abandoned her
poet. In the meanwhile, Bertlllon,
with geature and In the thrill, pitched
vole of a quack at a country fair, con
tinued hi monologue, producing every
minute tome freah covered paper cov

of paper, while Bertlllon leaned over
their table, trying to explain hla mys
