After hearing NJ. LIE Blois, scheurer-

leaving the building a man cried ''Viye
Zola, Down with France." He was
Immediately arrested.
A tremendous rush followed. M.
Zola, on emerging from the jury door
was recognized and obliged to return
and seek refuge in the robing rooms,
the doors Of which were then locked.
The crowd remained ouside yelling
''Conspuez Zola,' etc, led by number
of young barristers in their robes, who
roughly handled NJ. Zola's sympathiz-
ers until detachment Of republican
guards cleared the approaches to the
court. NJ. lola then emerged, pale and
trembling, and the moment he appear

and Shouts Of Down with Zola,'
Long live Zola,'' and Death to Zola,"
the last cry dominating the others.

his feet amid the surging crowd.

understanding their orders, closed the
gates and NJ. lola thus found himself
inside the court yard surrounded by
bowling, threatening mob. The police
were powerless and, for moment, it

against the novelist, who eventually
entered cab and drove quickly away.

yard greeted NJ. Rochefort's exit with
great cheers of "Vive rArmee' and

London, February S.-The Daily
News publishes this morning an inter
view which David Christie Murray, the
novelist and playwright, has had with
Madame Dreyfus. She said that af-
ter her husbands arrest, Ma
jor Patty du Clam visited
her on seventeen successive days,
denouncing her husband as a
scoundrel and traitor and alternately
threatening and cajoling her in the
hope that she would confess her hus-
band guilty. But she revealed moth
ing, because she had nothing to reveal,
and she now says that it was impossi-
bic that her husband could have con-
fessed himself guilty, inasmuch as he
was innocent. There never was, she
declared, better husband or father
in the world.
Mr. Murray adds: 1T is impossible
to say what would have happened if
this beautiful woman had been permit
ted to give the foregoing evidence in
court which she would have done if
allowed"
