LABORIE ADDRESSES JURY
Counsel for lola Makes Strong Plea i
Defense.
Claims Dreyfus Was Condemned on
an Obscure Expression
in q Note.

PARIS, February 22.-The precincts and
Hobbies of the Palace of Justice were de-
serted today, the fourteenth of the trial of
Nm. lola and Perreux for the allegations
which the former brought in the Aurore,
published by the latter, against the conduct
of the Esterhazy court-martiai. The assizes
court itself was thronged
NJ. Laborie, counsel for NJ. lola, resumed
his argument for the defense. He chrome
logically reviewed the case from the arrest
of Alfred Dreyfus, pointing out that as
Maj. Patty Du Clam interdicted Madame
Dreyfus from speaking, the announcement
of his arrest, published by the Libre Parole
and Eclaire alone. must have been COM
municated by the ministry for war.
Continuing, NJ. Laborie charged the Libre
Parole and Eclair with lying in regard to
the guilt Of Dreyfus and referred to Maj.
Patty Du CLAIMS attempt to intimidate
Dreyfus and to Maj. Forzinetti's belief in
the latter's innocence. He also dealt with
the court-martials decision to conduct the
trial in secret in spite Of the protests of the
press. He SAID this was the reason OF the
unceasing protests in behalf of Dreyfus.
which troubled all high-minded persons,
adding: 1.-The strength Of those of our ad-
versaries who are acting in good faith lies
in their belief that the whole affair was
conducted with justice and legality, but the
facts do not bear out this Belief (Mur-
nurse
Counsel for the defense then declared
that eight months prior to the arrest of
Dreyfus the ministry of war possessed pho
tographs of the paper containing the ex-
preston that scoundrel of a D." and
showing that d French officer had relations
with two foreign military attaches. This
document, NJ. Laborie pointed out. did not
refer to Dreyfus, but. all the same. the
culpability of Dreyfus was founded upon IL.
and it was the document which the yelled
lady handed to Maj. Esterhazy, the latter
only surrendering 1t to the minister for
war on securing a receipt.
NJ. Laborie spoke eloquently all day long.
until the court adjourned, and will con-
tinue his argument tomorrow.

cred This Morning.
The dead body Of Frank E Garrett, a
white man. aged about forty-one years. was
found in the canal this morning shortly
after o'clock. Ii was lying in the shallow
water in the lock, just in the rear of the
gas house on 29ta street. The discovery
was made by some colored men, who in
formed Policeman Connors. A rope was Sc
cured and the corpse hauled ashore, where
II was recognized as that of Garrett. The
patrol wagon weS summoned and the re-
mains were taken to the morgue at the
seventh precinct and the coroner notified.
The unfortunate nan, 1t is believed, met
his death through an accident. He had
been sick for some days, having had a
hemorrhage Friday evening and another
Sunday. He was partly delilious, and ar
who lives at 1914 18th street. to have him
Sc mt to the hospital this morning for treat
ment. The news of the finding of the body
was at once conveyed to the mother AMI
the wife OF the dead man.
According to the story of CARROTS moth
er, he left the house this morning between
and O'Clock. She heard him go out and
thought possibly he was going to the front
porch OF the residence. On account Of his
de!irioUs condition the doors of the house
had been kept locked. but he found the key
to the front door and went out The mother
quickly arose and looked for hmm. but found
ne uAu teIt the premises Sne OlQ not know
what danger might befall him in his wan

As evidence that the death was accident
al, 1t is stated that there was comparatively
little water in the canal. tine gates having
been opened several days ago, and kept
open. The lock In which the man was dis
covered is fully eighteen or twenty feet
deep. 1t is supposed he wandered down to
the canal and fell overheard being killed by
the fall. A bruise the right side of the
face ana another OH the head bear out
this theory. The body was found lying face
downward in about five inches of water in
the center Of the canal. with the hands
clenched by the side. The head was almost
touching the base board of the lock gate
while the hat was crumpled up and almost
covered the face. A stream of water flowed
over the head.
