TRIAL Of LADY
BROOME BEGINS
Defendant UnCOnCerned
in Court.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA BARBARA. Aug. 1.-THE trial
of Lady Frances Broome, who is accused
of an assault upon officers who attempted
to remove a hedge in front of her prop
erty, was fairly begun this morning. the
jury having been sworn in late Saturday
afternoon. Lady Broome was accompanied
in court by her pastor, Rev W. IL. Ram
sey, and Hon. EIlwood Cooper, who re-
manned by her side during the day. She
sat perfectly unconcerned and kept her
eyes upon book most of the time, nGt
turning them away even when the attor-
neys INDUCED in heated discussion.
City Clerk Alfonzo Crane and eX-ClcrS
+. n. Gutierrez were examined and 1den-
titled several ordinances of the city re-
lating to the location and direction of city
streets and to obstructions and nulSanceS
on streets. EX-Assemblyman James l.:
Barker, Town Surveyor in 1Sf1-72, showed
that the Haley survey stakes at that cor
ncr of MicheltOrena and CASTILLO streets
indicated that the correct street line was
sixteen feet farther in toward the Broome
property than her fence and hedge indi-
Gated. There was considerable discussion
as to which was the official survey and
map of the city, the Norway or the Haley
Lord Broome bought his property in 1879
and built an evergreen hedge around It
on the Norway survey. Lady Broome
claimed the hedge was on her land IN &C
cordanCe with the Norway survey. The
prosecution to-day proved by ample test-
mony that the Haley survey, although
inaccurate, was the official survey and
map of the city. as this had been passed
upon by the Supreme Court some time
ago.
City Marshal Martin testified that he
had served a written notice on Lady
Broome to remove the hedge, and that 1t
had been ignored, and early in April he
went to her in person and notified her that
the distractions in Micheltorena street
had not been removed, and that
If they were not removed at once he would
have to do it. She said there was no OBJ
struction in the street; that 1t was her
property. and she would protect 1t. He
cautioned her as to the result in case she
attempted to resist officer. but she
took no heed. He and dozen or more
deputies went a short time afterward and
attempted to tear down the obstruction.
Mrs. Broome. with her Spanish gardener,
stood guard. ready to give resistance, and
she struck Walter Richardson with a mat
tock and then ran at Marshal Martin and
struck him with the same weapon.
Here the court adjourned until to-mor-
row at 10 o'clock. The defense will set
forth that Mrs. Broome was on her own
property and she attacked the Marshal
while he was trespassing on her rights.

{ and NJ ScheUrer- -kestner came as a sur
. prise. He only raised his voice when he
explained that he sent the colonel to
Tunis owing to his meddling in matters
foreign to his duties, but he insisted on
giving Colonel Picquart a mission OF dan
ger and at the same time intrusted him
with a post of honor.
NJ. Cavaignac gave his testimony in an
OratoriCal manner with marked tntona-
ton. and in the way he might have deiiv-
cred a speech in the Chamber of Deputies.
lie maintained his belief in the truth OF
the confessions of Dreyfus and contended
that his IN Cavaignac's) attitude
throughout was that of statesman.
Dreyfus did not create a very favorable
I impression when at the conclusion OF M.
Cavaignac's testimony he was asked II

piled in a deciamatory fshion. with his
hand on his heart. that the Court of Cas-
saton had already disposed of NJ. Cavaig-
macs arguments.
The speech of NJ Cavaignac. however.
certainly appeared to make an impression
on his hearers
During the short suspension of the sit
ting of the court. NJ. Jaures, the Socialist
leader. who was in court. remarked that
the arrests made IN Paris had for their
sole object the fOrestalling of a st. Bar
thOlOmew massacre OF the DreyfusardS
and that the attempted murder Of NJ. La
bori at Rennes was one of the scattered
acts of the projected massacre.
Dreyfus must undoubtedly have been
profoundly moved in the attack on his
champion. who, for all he knew, might
be dead or dying. but he maintained the
same immovability as hitherto and did
not give in court the slightest indication
of his emotions.
The dispositions of General ZurIinden.
Chamoine and NJ. HanotauX were listened
to closely. but the session was utterly de-
void of any exciting incident, the mass of
testimony being directed against Dreyfus
and the lack of trenchant criticism, owing
TO the absence of the defense's right arm.
naturally left an impression unfavOrable
to the prisoner
General MERCER was acclaimed on Ieav-
ing the court and NJ. Casimir-Perier was
greeted with cheers and counter-cheers
for the army.
The gendarmes dispersed the most noisy
of the demonstrators, but there was no
serious disorder.

Cast. Immediately afterward a man
shot him. His wife arrived while NJ.
Labori was lying on the ground and
Colonel PicquaTt and N. Cast were pur-
suing the murderer. NJ. Labori turned
to his wife and said: GO to the court
and ask to suspend the sittine"
Mime. LabOri ran into the court. gave
the news that her husband had been
down on the ground beside her husband
and took his head in her lap.
During the interval while Colonel Pic
quart and M. Cast were pursuing the
murderer and before Nine. Labori ar
rived, NJ Labori. thinking himself NOR
tally wounded, said to a bystander: IF
l die tell my wife my last thoughts
We're for her"
There were several reports this after
noon that the assailant of NJ. Labori
had been captured, but they proved to
be unfounded. Detachments Of troops
and gendarmes are beating the woods
and securing the country. They have
been engaged in this work all day long
without success. A great number of
people saw the murderer fleeing, but he
was either too far distant from them or
else he succeeded in cowing them by
threats to use his revolver. A gardener
named Delahaye got near enough to the
man TO clutch him by the shoulder, but
the fugitive shook himself free and
turning to his pursuer. exclaimed: ::
"Begone, or l viii kill you. | still have
five shots left in my revolver and they
will be for you"
Delahaye, being quite unarmed. re-
coiIed and allowed the man to- escape
The attempt made upon the life of NJ.
