The witness referred to letters from the Minister of War to the Minister of Justice against him, and denied that any animosity existed be- tween himself and Colonel Paty du Clam. The witness added that Henry's forgery “became necessary in order to maintain the charge of guilt against Dreyfus,” Before replylng to M.
