plete Factory by Feb.I
Preparations were completed Tuesday
for the construction of a new building in
the rear of Hooker, Corser, IL Mitchell's
present factory to be used in accommodate
ing the growing business of shat concern.
Within few days force of 10 or 20 men
Will begin the erection of the structure and
work upon II will be pushed with all pos
sible speed until its completion is reached.
The building will be 70 by 80 feet, four
stories high, and will accommodate about
100 operatives. 1t will be connected with
the main building by one or more passage
ways.
Contracts for the new buildings con-
struction were signed with Holden & Mar
tin Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Holden ex-
poets that the building itself will be COM
pleted about Jan l and he hopes to have
II ready for occupancy by Feb. 1. Prob
ably not more than so stitchers will be em-
ployed at the start but this number will
be increased as fast as help can be secured
The company expects difficulty in securing
enough women to run the new factory to
its capacity the first few months, but this
trouble will be overcome in part by hiring
help from out of town.
The business of which Hooker, Corser d
Mitchell are the propretors, was established
about ten years ago, and has increased
steadily until it has become one of Brat
tleboro's important industries. The daily
output of the concern at present is about
100 dozen garments and the ever increas-
ing demand for these goods is the cause of
the erection of the new building.

der the general law there were 1,412

Honest supporters Of the military party
were speechless. They have stood by the
army in crisis after crisis in public SEN
tment. Through scandal, blackmail, dis
honor and astounding tales Of prison NAL
feasance, they have bravely stood their
ground. But they were not prepared to
defend q cowardly and brutal assassina-
ton.
Saturdays session Of the Dreyfus trial
was extremely dramatic. The chief in
terest centered in the testimony Of Gen.
Mercier, former Minister Of War. His
evidence was expected by the anti
Dreyfusards to prove conclusively the
guilt Of the prisoner. In this it failed.
Gen. MERCER in concluding his state
nent said that if he had not been con-
vinced Of the guilt Of Dreyfus he would
admit that he had been mistaken. Then
the most Sensational event Of the day
took place. Dreyfus, stung to the quick,
sprang to his feet and shouted, You
ought to say SO now"
The courtroom was in an uproar. Cheer
after cheer rang out for Dreyfus, while
MERCER was cursed and Kissed. Mr..
Casimir Perier, former President Of
France, told of his connection with the
case and demanded the right to confront
and refute the assertions Of MERCER.
The testimony given by the other wit
nesses was in the main favorable to
Dreyfus.
Upon the arrival of M. Labor with
his family in Rennes, just prior to the
opening OF the Dreyfus trial, he was
forced to pay exorbitant prices for apart
ments, so strong were the sentiments In
Rennes against the prisoner. He had
been warned that it was dangerous to
have his family there, as they might be
subject to attack, but he said he was Of
4he opinion that having his family about
Aim would perhaps cause him to exert
more care than ordinary, under the alb
straetion Of his legal duties.
