DENT LOUBETS ASSAILANT
Paris. June 13.-Baron de Christiani who as
sauted President Loubet with a cane at the
Auteuil races on June t. was sentenced to-day in
the Correctional Police Court. at the Palace of
Justice. to four years imprisonment and to pay
the costs OF the trial.

delivered Judgment at 2:O5 p. M. saying that
according to the articles OF the Penal Code under
which Christiani was senten ed he was liable to
f,om two to five years imprisonment There

sentence was announced, but the prisoner heard
1t with no signs Of emotion.
The court which the trial took place is
one OF the smallest In the Palace of Justice.
The hall Is panelled with oak, and behind the
judges hangs painting OF the Crucihxon. The
prisoner sat In the dock beside policeman and
only few ticket holders and other privileged
persons allowed In the courtroom which
otherwise almost filled with policemen and
Municipal Guards.

quiet the public not being allowed to enter the
building in which the court Is situated.
PLEA OF THE DEFENCE
De Christiani. who is above the medium height
has an iron-gray mustacbe. wore an eyeglass
and was we'll dressed In gray. with light blue
bow He is a handsome-looking man. with clear
cut features and fresh complexion. The Baron
followed the proceedings with keen interest but
did not otherwise show his feelings. Counsel
for the Baron pleaded that the prisoners act
was not political one. but that he acted on the
impulse Of the moment, losing his head In the
excitement around him.
In his own behalf. the prisoner said he did not
belong to the Royallst Club to the White
Carnation Club. and asserted his act was
wholly unprecedented. He also expressed the
belief that the surrounding circumstances ought
10 be considered.
The Procureur- General NJ. Feuiilelley. In out
lining the charges said the blow aimed at Prcsi-

hands Of the prisoner was broken on the baius-
trades. This alone. the Procureur. r.Gkneral

an estate valued in round numbers at
s72. 900. COO. All his wealth was left to
direct heirs. The tax upon such requests
under the New York inharitancs-tax law
Is per cent. Consequently the amount
received by the state OF New York from
Jay Gouid's estate WINS approximately
S7s0, 900. The value OF the estats Of Cor
neiius Wander pilt Is not known accurate
Iy. but 1t Is oonservatively estimated at
s70, coo, 600. Net all OF Vanderbilt's
wealth was ltfs to direct heirs, however,
