member. General Pellieux refused to
answer questions put to him, in con-
formity with his statement yesterday
that IT was for the advocate general
to deal with questions outside Of the
lola case. He added: Il am of the
opinion that throughout this trial,
strange things have happened. A per-
son here" leaning toward CoLPicquart,
and l say it to his face (sensation),
who still wears the uniform of The
French army, comes to this court and
accuses military men of having com
mitted forgery and of having turned IL
to account" prolonged cheers from
the back of the court.)
To Thu, Col. Picquart replied. Il
have said / had too much respect for
my chiefs and for Justice to withhold
the truth and ! say 1t again, In the
presence of my chiefs"
II also say the soldiers are animated
by good faith said NJ. Laborie. but
"You are making Speech" inter-
rupted the presiding Judge.

establish something of the greatest i'm
portance md they are trying to intirn-
idate me-"
You are making speech" said the
presiding Judge again. Il shall have
to stop YOU"
81 am obliged to you every time you
stop me-" remarked NJ. Laooric, ''as
you thereby confer fresh honor upon
me" (Cheers)
This caused General Pellieux TO re-
mark, He has just played with the
case and played with 1t against my
win"
NJ. Laborie began to comment upon
these statements. but the presiding
Judge threatened him with disciplinary
punishment II he did not cease talking.
The action OF the court caused O row
In the back of the court room and NJ.
Laborie passionately addressed the
disturbers. saying: What rejoices
you is to see right and Justice violated
more and more every day."
Then addressing NJ. Zola. Laborie ex-
claimed: II ask whether II would not
be better for us to leave the court than
allow ourselves to be treated as we are
| treated?" Uproar in cOurt)
