hope that the ball is lodged In the mus
cles enveloping the vertebra1 column
They must. however, maintain full re.
serve respecting the integrity Of the lung
and spinal cord"
| The bulletin is signed by four DOCTORS
Remand, Reichis, Brissaud and Vidal.
The correspondent called at the resi-
dence of NJ Labor late in the afternoon
and was informed that Nine. Labor was
still watching by the bedside Of her hus
band. The patients condition, it was
said, had grown worse, his agony had in.
| creased and fever had set in.
The doctors in attendance are very
| anxious in regard to NJ. Labori's condi.
ton and fear that even il he RECEIVERS his
| left leg will be paralyzed, as he has been
unable to move it since be was laid in
bed. He is conscious and talks to his
wife freely, but all his remarks are
about the court martial
It appears that NJ. Labor received only
Sunday two letters threatening that he
would be shot But he treated them, as
he had treated others Of similar nature
| which he has received frequently for
| months past, with contempt.
Nine. Labori, wife Of the wounded
lawyer, was promptly notified of the
crime and rushed to her husbands side.
She found him with his head on the side
walk and his body in the roadway.
She threw herself by his side and took
his head In her lap and famed him with
colored paper fan which she had
snatched up as she left the house.
M. Labor was perfectly still. Not a
groan came from his lips as his head
rested in the lap of his wife, who by the
way, is an American. AS she famed
him with her right hand she caressed
him with her left hand, gazing lovingly
on his upturned face.
He tried to smile back the tears which
glistened in his wife's eyes, and she, mas
tering her feelings herocally, did every
thing possible to ease her husbands
agony.
1t is reported that the famous lawyer
said as he lay wounded on the ground:
II may die from this, but Dreyfus is
saved"
How the Crime Occurred.
Maitre Labori left his house alone for
the court at about o'clock in the morn
ing. His residence, which he has occu-
pied with his wife since the trial began,
Is situated in the suburbs of the town,
about quarter of an hours walk from
the Lycee, the route being along a solitary
road beside the river Viaine.
He had reached a point half way on
his journey when two men, who had evil
IDENTIFY been lying in wait for him, rush
ed out Of narrow lane, and one of them
fred single shot from a revolver.
The murderers were only a couple of
yards behind their victim and the bullet
struck Maitre Labori In the back The
wounded man uttered an agonized cry
and fell fiat ON his face. The murderers
Immediately fled through the lane from
which they had emerged, and both es-
capped.
Only two or three laborers going to
work saw the crime committed. The
spot was well chosen, as the murderers
could not be seen by M. Labor until
they rushed out upon their victim, the
entrance to the lane being hidden by
bushes. Moreover, they were afforded
an easy means of escape by passing back
through the lane, which led to the coun-
try.
One Of the laborers, named Patoux,
who witnessed the shooting, said
AS was passing along the road l
saw tall man walking quickly In the
direction of kelnes. He was on the
towing path of the Vilane. He was
attired iii dark lounge suit and wore
a bowler hat. 1t was M. Labor. Just
as he reached the bridge crossing
stream fa,ing into the Vilaine two men
about medium height and wearing dark
suits and round, soft felt hats emerged
from n rural path entering the main
road. One Of them carried heavy stick
Fired Point blank.
"They approached NJ. Lahori from be-
hind. Suddenly one drew Il revolver and
fired point blank at Labori He was so
near that it was quite impossible for him
to miss.
"A sharp report was heard. and M.
4ahori threw np his arms and cried:
