Paris, May 29.-While the Dreyfus
case was proceeding in one part of the
palace of justice the assize court on
the other side of the building was oc-
cupied with the trial of Nine. de Roul-
EIDE and Marcel Habert, charged with
melting soldiers to INSTRUMENTATION on
the day Of the election of President
Loubet. AS the defendants entered
some of the spectators cheered. When
de Roulede was called upon to plead
he began a diatribe against parliament
tarians and Jews. During the course
of his remarks he declared his action
was maturely weighed, and reminded
the court that he created Boulanger-
ism in order to save France. The au-
dience in the court room cheered de
Roulede and Habert, and cried Here
is jury of acquittal,' when the jury
entered. Murmurs We're heard when
the charges against the prisoners We're
read.
The presiding judge then asked NJ.
de Roulede how he, former officer
of the army, could wish to turn the
army away from it's duty To this M
de Roulede replied amid laughter,
with comparing Premier Du Puy to the
frog in the fable and said he (the de-
fendanD wished to lead a brigade to
overthrow the present republic, adding
that his action was fully premeditat-
ed.
NJ. de Roulede then arraigned the
constitution and the budget of defense
saying that it was increasing daily and
that France was approaching deficit.
He also attacked the budget of public
works.
De Roulede eulogzed the work of the
French explorers, Marchand, Monteil
and Binger, and attacked Loubet He
finished his harrangue by demanding
a plebiscitary republic asserting at
the same time that he never intended
to turn the soldiers from this duty, but
only wished to carry General Roget
with him.
NJ. Marcel Habert followed. He adj
mitted that ne wished to cause a revo-
luton. but denied having melted SOL
ders to disobedience. He said he only
sought to lead General Roget to the
Elysee palace and that the men with
him tHaberD had been merely follow
ing the officers.
Habert also harrangued against par
liamentarianism, saying the chamber of
deputies was empty when usual ques-
tions were discussed and that the sem
ate was dilatory.
The presiding judge stopped M. de
Roulede when the latter referred to
President Loubet, declaring he must
not bring the name of the president of
the republic into the case.
To this NJ. de Roulede replied that
he was obliged to mention the pres-,
dents name because ms election deter
mined him to take this action. He pro-
ceeded to make another attack upon
M. Loubet but was again called to or
der, and NJ. de Roulede retorted holly
that he wanted to drive M. Loubet out
of the Elysee palace, which he said. he
had only reached thanks to his medl-
ocrity" When de Roulede concluded
he was loudly acclaimed by the audi
ence.
Evidence already known was then
presented and the court adjourned
amid the cries of ''vive de Roulede"
within and without the hall.
AS the court emptied the crowd made
a demonstration. Cries of "NlVe
Tarmee," "A has lie juifs" and "A mort
les traitres'' resounded. The police
routed the demonstrators and then dis
persed a band of members of the
League of Patriots.
