MURDER WILL OUT It Is Equally True That Careful Conspiracies Contain Fata' Defects, Grounds Upon Which Dreyfus Depends for Vindication Have Been Made Pubi c. Astonishing Blunder Made by Colone Henry in His Fabric of Calumny, Paris Dec 29 —Th» grounds ipon which Dreytus depends for vindication and restoration to ths army have been mad» public here Dreyfus charges ilia' a 'elegrant from Col Schwartzkoppen 'he la'e German military atI tache, to Col Panizzardi. formerly I Italian military attache at Paris, as presented to the court martial at Rennes, bore the date of April. 1894. ’■hen he was occupied with ’he details of the mobilization of troops, of which the telegram mated, whereas the actual dale of the telegram was ’he last of March. iß9i after be (l)r.:yfn.,i liad been tried. A copy which has I been found has established the correctness of Dreyfus’ claim in the opin ion of the commission which recommended a revision of the case. The statement of the ease against Dreyfus containing the telegram, when it ar rived at the ministry to* war. was dated April 1, 1895. which Dreyfus claims shows the telegram was written in the latter part of March of that year. With a pair of scissors the late Colonel Henry clipped off a corner of the telegram, and thus the actual date disappeared. Then Colonel Henry, in ■ his own hand, annotated the telegram April. 1894. The colonel, however, neglected to remember that the month of April had only thirty days, for in j the document there is a mention of the thirty-first of the current month.” The unauthenticity of the telegram i could have been established had the j court at Rennes appreciated the im portanee of the error. Finally it developed that in the telegram, where the words Ge Canaittee De I>e ” appear, the initial “D” had been substituted for the letter “P." The orig Inal copy, written by M. Oribetin. the I keeper of the archives of the war office, carried the letter "P." The scratching upon the paper was appar i ent. but M. Bertillon. the handwriting I expert, testified that the letter ”D" (was correct. It is now claimed he was iu errW. GOOD COUNSEL PREVAILED Congressman’s Wise Words Spared lowa a Scene of Disgrace.
