Court Refuses Request for Delay
in the Dreyfus Trial.
1t Wns Made WITH the Expectation
That VI. Lnbori. Whose Recovery
IL Assured. Would BE Able to
Attend Next Monday.

in an ambulance to the residence of
| Prof. BaSch, in a suburb of Rennes. He
stood the journey well, although natu-
rally fatigued. The doctors are eX-
tremely hopeful of a speedy recovery,
but consider it would be unwise for him
to return to court until there is abso-
lutely no danger of a relapse. NJ. De-
mango has decided to ask for an adj
journment, which has necessitated
written application by both NJ. De-
mango and Capt. Dreyfus, who have al
ready sent letters to the president of
the court-martial. Capt. Dreyfus
wants the sessions postponed until
Monday next, when it is hoped that NJ.
Labori will be able to be present.
Request Refused.
Rennes, Aug. 16, 80 a. m.-Owing to
the opposition of Maj. Carriers, the gov
ernment commissary, the court-mar-
tial has refused the application of
Maitre Demange for an ad journment of
the trial until Monday. The proceed
ings opened without disorder.
Immediately after the witnesses had
entered the courtroom Maitre De-
mango, counsel for Capt. Dreyfus, APP
piled for an adjournment on account
of Maitre Labori's absence. Maj Car
riere, the government commissary, un-
eNpectedly arose and opposed the APP
plcation in the most vehement manner,
with the gestures of a stump orator.
He read a certificate from Labori's docI
tors which, however, was a weak point,
as it only said it might not be possible
for Labori to attend on Monday Maj.
Carriere dilated upon the fact that the
entire world was anNiously awaiting a
decision. and up on the necessity of end
ing the suspense. The court retired for
90 minutes during which time the audi
ence animatedly discussed the probable
results, the general impression being
that the judges, in view of Maj. Car
riere's strong opposition, would refuse
the application for adjournment. This
proved to be the case, as Col. Jouaust,
on his return, read unanimous de-
cision of the courts rejecting the appli-
cation on the ground that the reasons
advanced were insufficient. Capt Drey
fus listened to the announcement with
characteristic composure.
Out of Danger.
Rennes, France, Aug. 16.-M. Labori
is now doing so well that the doctors
consider him out of danger. He lies
on his back, unable to move, but life
is returning to the leg which Monday
was thought to be paralyzed. He has
10 fever and continues to discuss the
trial. His wife has remained at his
bedside practically ever since he was
wounded. Naturally she is much re-
lieved at the favorable reports of the
doctors, who hope to see the distin-
guished lawyer on his feet before the
trial is ended.
Labori's Pockets Were RifIed.
The correspondent of the press here
obtained complete corroboration Tues
day of the statement that the pockets
of Labori's coat were rified while he
was lying on the ground wounded.
Not only were the pockets of his coat
emptied, but an attempt was made to
steal the wallet in which were impor-
tant papers referring to the courtmar-
tial, including his notes for the cross
examination of Gen. Mercer NJ. La
bori has himself related the incident.
He had Just fallen and saw one of two
men run to his side. One of these said:
His coat must be taken off. He will
be too hot"
Refused to Give Up His wallet.
The speaker then took the wounded
advocates coat off and another man
seized the wallet. NJ. Labori, however,
retained his presence of mind and re-
fused to allow the wallet to be taken
out of his hands, putting it under his
head for a pillow and holding it with
one hand. The coat was shortly after
wards put OH again. On arriving at his
residence NJ. Labori asked his wife to
look into the pockets and see if their
contents were safe. Nine. Labori found
the pockets completely emptied. Luck
lily, no papers of Importance were in the
pockets, which only contained personal
letters, including menacing letters re-
ceived on the previous day.

taEation for the outrage upon NJ. La

sponsible for anything done against the
