r,i>nnes, Sept. 7—A: the opening of
ihi- Dreyfus court-manial this morn-
IMJ,- Labor! announced he hail received
ii. wrni-Mlik'lal i n t i m a t i o n that Col.
Schwartzkoppen and Col. Panlzsardi
would be unable to appear personally
In- fort' tin"- court, and so ho_pn)posecl
thiit n rnsatory commission shoull be
tPlrgraphtHl to receive .their deposi-
tions.
1'uli'iiioKiie and Major Comoro did
nut oppuse this proposition, only the
latter poimuU out that the proposed
strp would involve a deviation L'roni
tho general procedure in neressitiulntr
;t IOIIK adjournment.
Labor! replied thut the court -was
fiuitk-d to adjourn for forty-eight
hours and in case a longer period was
required he suggested that a short
session be held tomorrow, when the
court could adjourn till Monday.
He then drew up a formal applica-
tion that Colonels Schwartzkoppen
Panizzardi be cited as witnesses, and
t h a t seven questions should be tele-
graphed them, to 'which they should
reply unde-r oiuh.
The first question was If they had
ever received the documents men-
tioned in the bordereau 'and he also
rt-qiiested that they be asked ij they
had received the (Iring manual. ivJien.
rind from whom: whether either had
sent Kstc-rhazy the- pi-tit bleu, a copy
of which had been telegraphed and
llmilly. if directly or Indirectly, they
had any relations with Dreyfus.
The court deliberated on Labori's
application for a roeatory commission
Cor a quarter ot an hour, at the ex-
piration of which time Col. Jouaust
read a decision, declaring the court
incompetent to grant the application.
Refusal Wag Kxoeotod.
Berlin, Sept. 7—When asked if he
would go to Rennee Colonel Schwartz-
koppen curtly replied: "No, I do not
think the emperor will permit me to
make a statement."
Rome, Sept. 7— King Humbert is at
Turin and the decision relative to
Panizzardi deposing in the Dreyfus
trial will be made there, after an ar-
rangement has been made at Berlin.
A IMsoredUert Witness.
Rennes, Sept. 7—The production of
Cernuschi at the secret session yes-
terday was a blunder on the part ol
the generals who are prosecuting
Dreyfus. Major Carriere, the govern-
ment prosecutor, sought to withdraw
the foreign witness before he began
Ills direct testimony. In the secret
session he announced that Cernuschi's
character proved so bad on investiga-
tion t h a t the prosecution did not de-
sire tu otter his evidence.
President Jouaust peremptorily re-
fused to permit the withdrawal ot the
witness, and Cernuschi told his in-
credible story. What it was and what
his cross-examination developed have
not transpired. It is known, however,
tlutt thu witness at length pleaded Ill-
ness and was removed from the court
room In charge of two physicians and
put to bed at his hotel.
KKA.LLV inn, TRIAL.
No More Testimony Expected a
Verdict at Hima.
The refusal of the court-martial to
allow a rogutory commission 10 ex-
amine Colonels Schwartzkopuen and
Fanlzzardi virtually ends the case.
The testimony Is really all in and a
verdict may be expected w i t h i n the
next few -days.
That the world famous trittl has in-
tensified the bltti-rness between the
factions-was amply demonstrated yes-
terday. Colonel Jouaust. was insult-
ing in his demeanor toward Labor
anil the latter was defiant In his atti-
tude toward the court.
General Billot laid the train which
exploded several of the mines beneaih
the Dreyfus case and his suggestions
and Insinuations were of the most
sinister character. He first protestet
asulnst the evidence ot • Senatoi
Trarleux, who, he declared, was r.o
giving testimony, but making a se
speech In favor of the prisoner. As
if the generals had not taken up hal
ut the time of the court with thel
set speeches against Dreyfus.
Billot's protest led to the violent a4
tercation between Colonel Jouaust and
ilaitre Labori. in which the lawye
was peremptorily ordered to take hi
seat. This incident was not only thi
most sensational of the day but o
the whole trial.
Then, too, General Billot for th
first time voiced the insinuation tha
D-eyfus was the accomplice of Ester
' luuy. That :he generals would adop
this hypothesis as their last card wa
hinted some days ago. The Insinuation
ai'ded another sensation to the day, to
• it brought Dreyfus to his feet with a
vehment shout of protest.
The Cloelna Scene*.
First today comes' JIaJorCarrlere'sve

able to- know this extraordinary lit
tie man's real views on the Dreyfu
affair by the recommendations h
gives to the judges. He can recom
mend condemnation, urging that th
culpability of the accused is evlden
or he can leave the matter entirely 1
the hands of the judges. Again, h
might even surprise the audience an
the defense' by concluding the Inno
cence ot the prisoner and aemanaln
his acquittal. ' . , .v
Then Demange will take up tn
|.?ac11ng for the prisoner. He'will-be
olloweiJ by L'abori, and. as already
tated. a verdict is possible by. Sat-
r<3ay.

a'y afternoon that Labori thought of
browing- up the case, hut that -his

n . a . worse state of excitement than
ver before. Many law-abiding Citi-
ens are afraid to live within tho con-
ties of the county, and would leave

M-inik is momentarily expected, anrt

;o man's lite is safe in Clay county.
The trouble feared is another clash
,etween the Philpot and Griffin fac-
ions. Members of both are heavily
irmed and ready for battle. The Phil-
pots and their friends are massed at

3reat excitement prevailed, though as

last night. Police Officer William
Kernes of Concord, it. was stated, at-
tempted to arrest three negroes who

of these s.hot him through the heart.
Two men,' presumed to be his' - as-

and lodged In jaii. and one, believed
to be the third, was • being pursued.
Those who brought the ' news here
stated that the jail at Concord, a
frail structure, was surrounded- when

peared to be bent on lynching the
two prisoners. Communication with
Concord Is not possible amd if the
lynching was accomplished the fac'
