PARIS, Feb. 23.-The lola trial Is
ended. The jury agreed days ahead on
a verdict, and it's unanimity was due
to threats. 1t stayed in the jury room
for a few minutes and the sentence is
one year for M. lola and four months
for M. Perrieux, the nominal director
of the Aurore. The hour was in the
evening and the court was lighted with
electricity. which revealed the face of
every person A striking object,
Christ Crucified," hung high behind
the bench M. Maitre Laborie ended
his speech by saying:
The name of Plate is the most abb
horred in history.
The figure of Christ caught lola s
eye. After sentence had been passed
with pompous decorum he exclaimed:
To-day, associated with Christ, l.,
too, am a victim of mock violence. Off
cial cowardice and a grand miscarriage
of Justice"
He did not vince or finch. He
looked as Indifferent as a mere spec
tator. Nine Zola's devoted heart at
first seemed broken, but when she felt
that she must brace herself up to rise
to the height of Zola's grand situation
she became calm and self-poSsessed.
His friends. the artists Bruneau and
Des Moulin, were more broken hearted
than he. They have daily accompanied
lola. protecting him from mob vio-
lence. M. Laborie also was greatly up

They declared that by the sentence he
was redeemed from past faults; that it
set him upon a radiant pedestal. gave
him a unique position and would make

M. Clemenceau pleaded for the hum
bile Perrieux and tried to cheer him.
He. poor fellow, has no compensations,
no world wide advertisement for his
works. no blaze of glory.
The troops were never employed to
keep order during the trial. The service
guards and constabulary only were
called out. There were 1000 on duty
around the law courts to-day, but
despite all precautions to exclude the

There were endless officers in uniform

the precincts of the Palace of Justice
where NM. lola and Perrieux have
been on trial since February T.

sumed his argument for the defense
Referring to the bordereau, counsel
maintained that 1t was written by
Major Esterhazy, and said that the
presentation of several secret docu-
ments at the court-martial fully estab-
lished this. Recalling Premier Meline's
refusal to discuss the subject when M
Jaures, the Socialist leader, inter

therefrom that the Government had
something to hide. [Uproar1 Con-

counsel maintained that the note in
reality said, with that Jewish clique
and asserted that the authorities had
not produced the alleged discriminating
documents because 'it would have re-
suited not in war but in ridicule."
The speakers touching reference to
the unhappiness Of the Dreyfus family,
