TRIAL GOES ON.
Shooting of Labori Was to Save Gen.
Marcier.

Rennes, Aug. 1.-THE shooting of NJ.
Labor, leading counsel for Captain AL
fred Dreyfus, robbed the morning ses-
sion of the Dreyfus court martial of it's
paramount interest. The murderer, ap-
parently chose today for the attempt
because it was anticipated that NJ. La
bori would crush General Mercier, the
former minister of war with his cross
questioning.
The news of the shooting of NJ Labori
caused an immense sensation in the
court room, where the usual audience
had assembled awaiting the entrance
of the judges. NJ. Laboris absence had
just been announced when suddenly NJ.
Jaunay syndic of the judiciary press
rushed into the room and shouted:
M Labori has been shot"
All present gave a gasp OF horror and
surprise and every man jumped to his
feet and a volley of questions was hur-
ried at NJ Jaunay, who saying: THAT
is all l know. rushed out Of the court
room followed by a number Of his hear
ers. Those who remained eXcitedly dis
cussed the crime and vigorously de-
nounced the authors.
Colonel Jouaust, president of the
court, when the news reached him, sus-
pended the sitting of the court martial
until 7:15 a. m. 1t appears that Madame
Labori herself broke the news to the
court and informed NJ. Jaunay of the
crime having rushed from her husbands s
side to the court crying for a doctor and
shouting that her husband had been
shot.
When the court-martial was resumed
General Mercier was confronted with
M Casimir-Perier, the former president
of France. The latter declared that
Mercier's story, told on the witness
stand Saturday of the imminence of war
between Germany and France in 1894
was grossly exaggerated, and COM
planned of the action of the then min
lister of war, MERCER, in moving $4,000
troops to the frontier without consulting
him. AS it was NJ Labori'S task to take
General MERCER in hand and NJ. De-
mango associate counsel was quite un-
prepared for the task, the few ques-
tions the latter put were practically
escaped cheaply. Moreover NJ. Demange
was deeply affected by the attempt to
assassinate his collea que, and was quite
unable to do himself justice.
NJ. Damange when court assembled
at 7:2O a. m, announced that though
his colleagues wound was not so Sc
rious as at first supposed, it would be
impossible for the latter to participate
in the proceedings. When General AIer-
cier was recalled in reply to the presi-
dent of the court he reiterated his be-
lief that Major Count Esterhazy in spite
of the latter's own declaration was not
the author of the bordereau which wit
ness claimed was written on tracing
paper and was found in an embassy.
The president asked NJ. Casimir- -PeTier
to explain the circumstances of the con-
fession in the Dreyfus case alleged to
have been made to Captain Legrun
Renault.
M. Casimir Perier persisted in his
statement of Saturday that he had
never received condolences Of this char
acter from Capt. Lebrum Renauit- He
added, M. Dupuy, the then premier, was

rifles, carbines, revoIvers and cartridge
belts hang round the walls and are
stacked in gun racks. On the gallery
round the roof ten men with carbineS
on their shoulders mount guard. At the
gate below a vigilant watchman is on
duty. If any one rings, the slide of
grated Judas is pushed aside and the
visitors name and business are asked
in curt terms.
Inside Jules Guerin commands the
