Laborie, M. Bertillon said he could produce them only on the court’s order. This caused the Judge to remark: “Only the Minister for War has au- thority to issue such an order.” “Then we are certain not to get it,” replied M. Laborie. Court was then adjourned until Mon- day. The crowd acclaimed the officers and there were a few scuffles, but nothing serfous occurred. It is said that Colo- nel Plcquart has sent his seconds.to M. The Socialist Deputy then lavded M. Zola for “denouncing his maligners and persecutors,” dragging the staff from its miserable irresponsibility, which is paving the way for future disasters.” This remark caused a tumult, in which cheers and groans were mingled.’ M.

A warm discus- sion followed, and the application was M. Henry's language, whereupon the latter shouted: “I aver that Colonel Picquart has lied in this matter.” (Up- roar). Colonel Picquart then addressed the jury: “You have heard M. Henry, Major Lauth and Major Paty du Clam bring abominable charges against me.

Zola was struck by the partiality shown at the Ester- hazy court-martial, and he classed M. Zola's article as being the “act of a great-hearted, brave man.” M.
