for Adjournment.
Rennes, Aug. 16.-At eight o'clock
Tuesday evening NJ. Labori was removed
in an ambulance to the residence of
Prof. Basch, in suburb of Rennes. He
stood the journey well. although natu-
rally fatigued. The doctors are eN-
tremely hopeful of speedy recovery,
but consider it would be unwise for him
to return to court until there is abso-
lutely no danger of a relapse. M. De-
mango has decided to ask for an adj
journment, which has necessitated
written application by both M. De-
mango and Capt. Dreyfus, who have al
ready sent letters to the president OF
the court-martial. Col. Jouaust will
undoubtedly accede to the request, but
he cannot grant an adjournment for
more than two days, when the applica-
ton must be renewed. Capt. Dreyfus
wants the sessions postponed until
Monday next, when it is hoped that M.
Labori will be able to be present.
Out of Danger.
Rennes, France, Aug. IGN. Labor
is now doing so well that the doctors
consider him out of danger. He lies
on his back, unable to move, but life
is returning to the leg which Monday
was thought to be paralyzed. He has
trial. His wife has remained at his
bedside practically ever since he was
wounded. Naturally she is much re-
lieved at the favorable reports of the
doctors, who hope to see the distin-
guished lawyer on his feet before the
trial is ended
Labori's Pockets Were Rihed.
The correspondent of the press here
obtained complete confederation Tues
day of the statement that the pockets
of Labori's coat were rifled while he
was lying on the ground wounded.
Not only were the pockets of his coat
emptied, but an attempt was made to
steal the wallet in which were impor-
tant papers referring to tire court-mar-
tial, including his notes for the cross
examination of Gen. MERCER. M. La
bori 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"
Refused to Give Up His wallet.
The speaker then took the wounded
advocates coat off and another man
seized the wallet. M. Labori, however,
retained his presence of mind and re-
fused to allow the wallet to be taken
out of his hands, putting it under his
head for pillow and holding it with
one hand. The coat was shortly after
wards put on again. On arriving at his
residence NJ. Labor asked his wife to
look into the pockets and see if their
contents were safe. Nine. Labori found
the pockets completely emptied. Luck
lily, no papers of Importance We're in the
pockets, which only contained personal
letters, including menacing letters re-
ceiyed on the previous day. The rifiing
of the lawyers pockets of the papers
and the attempt to steal his wallet,
while no effort was made to appropri-
ate his watch, are regarded as clear
evidence of plot in which several men
were implicated.
Assassin Still Mt Large.
The man who actually fired the shot,
1t appears, was only one part of the
machinery of the conspirators. In spite
of the extensive search made for the
would-be assassin he is still at large,
and the impression is gaining ground
that he is being aided by the anti
Dreyfus country people.
The doctors in nj ,,,a, Ar
Labori have sent to Paris for an X-ray
apparatus in order to locate the bullet.
Shot Three Men.

group was standing at the corner of the
Faubourg st. Denis and the Rue de Val
enciennes Tuesday evening some pass

then fired several revolver shots, wound
Ing three men. One of them, man
named Camille, was taken to hospital
seriously wounded. The alleged anar-
chlst was arrested.

Paris, Aug. 16.-The Matin makes the

he was shot, declared that, as the out
come OF his injuries appeared doubtful,
