General Mercier, who, with M. Lebon, was seated in the front row of the witnesses’ seats, listened to the reading of the Teport unmoved, while Colonel Jouaust followed it with an air of forced tolerance. | M. Lebon afterward returned to the stand and added a few more words in justification of his conduct, and then Colonel Jouaust ordered the next wit- ness to be brought in. All eyes were turned toward the door on the right of the stage, and a moment later the form of a woman, dressed in deep mourning, appeared in the doorway and, accompanied by a non-commis sioned officer, advanced to the plat- form. It was the widow of Colonel Henry, the French officer who committed sui- clde in prison after confessing to forging certain documents in the case. ‘With pale face and hand upraised be- | fore the crucifix she took the oath to tell the truth. Mme. Henry is of me- dium height and has a common caste of feature, and certainly could not be | considered attractive. She at once put herself at ease, leaning forward with both hands resting on the rail of the witness-stand.. In an attitude of com- plete self-possession she gave her evi- dence, accompanying the words with frequent gestures. Her evidence, how=- ever, was of little weight. She ad- mitted the frequent visits of Esterhazy to her husband and said her husband told her he had forged one document “in order to save the honor of the country.” She gave her evidence in a matter-of-fact way, and was in no- wise -the sympathetic figure that anti- Dreyfusards have tried to make her. General Roget, in undress uniform, followed. His evidence was a vitriolic dlatribe against Dreyfus from begin- ning to end. Ex-Minister of Justice Guerin, the first witness, sald he knew absolutely nothing of the facts in the case, but could repeat the surrounding circumstances which he had already related to the Court of + > e0 e e D+00203 0060606560660+ e6>e>ebedededededes B e e e e ot S g o SR Continued on Second Paza. 40404040404 0404040404040404 040404040404040404040404@® ON THE WITNESS STAND ROGET SHOWS TTER HATRED FOR DREYFLS e e e R i S S = + & ! )¢ 4 06«0@02 @ R o S SR @ )¢ GENERAL ROGET, BITTER FOE OF DREYFUS.
