sTS g: OF A PLOT IS CERTAIN

Rennes. France. August 15.-M. Labori is now doing so well that the doctors consider him out of danger. He lies on his back un- able to move, but life is returning to the leg which yesterday was thought to be paralyzed. He has no fever and continues to discuss the trial. His wife has remain ed at his bedside practically ever since he was wounded. Naturally she is much re- lieved at the favorable reports of the doc- tors who hope to see the distinguished law yer his feet before the trial is ended.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press here obtained complete corroboration to- day of the statement that the pockets of Laboris coat were rifed yesterday while he was lying the ground wounded Not only were the pockets of his coat emptied, but an attempt was made to steal the wal let in which were the papers referring to the courtmartial, including his notes for the cross-examination of General Mercier. M. Labori has himself related the incident. He had just fallen and saw one of two men run to his side. One of these said:
 His coat must be taken off. He will be too hot"
 seized the Wallet
 The speaker then took the wounded ad- vocate's coat off and another man seized the wallet M Labori, however, retained his presence of mind and refused to allow the wallet to be taken out of his hands, putting it under his head for a pillow and holding it with one hand. The coat was shortly afterwards put on again. On ar- irving at his residence, M. Labori asked his wife to look in the pockets and see if their contents were safe. Mms Labori found the pockets completely emptied Luckily no papers of importance were in the pock- cts, which only contained personal letters, including menacng letters received on the previous day.
 The rifing of the lawyers pockets and the attempt to steal his wallet while no effort was made to appropriate his watch or money, are regarded as clear evidence of a plot in which several men were impli- cated.
 The man who actually fired the shot, it appears, was only one part of the machin- cry of the conspirators. In spite of the extensive search made for the would-be assassin, he is still at large and the im- pression is gaining ground that he is being aided by the anti-Dreyfus people,
 The doctors in attendance upon M. La- bori have sent to Paris for an X-ray ap- paratus in order to locate the bullet. treyius tsr.i 70 l. .,or. Dreyfus has written two letters to M. Labori. The first, on hearing the news of the attempt to murder the lawyer, is a spontaneous expression of his shocked feel ings. The second is touching eplstle ex- pressing the prisoners keenest regrets at the dastardy outrage, profound gratitude to M. Labori for his heroic championship, and heartfelt wishes for his happy recov- cry.
 At o'clock this evening M. Labori was removed in an ambulance to the residence of President Barch in q suburb of Rennes. He stood the journey well, although natur- ally fatigued.
 The doctors tonight are extremely hopeful of recovery, but consider 1t would be un wise for him to return to court until there is absolutely no danger of relapse
 M. Demange has decided to ask for an adjournment which has necessitated a written application by both M. D..az,,re
 N ~N'Is~t'i H|' - Ae1t Nhp idAc already sent letters to the president of the court- martial. Colonel Jouaust will undoubtedlv accede to the request, but he cannot grant an adjournment for more thaa two days when the application mutt he renewed Captain Dreyfus wants the se-s..-.. a@-a- poned until Monday next, when it Is :,oved that M Labori will be able to be present.
