who know well General German and
General Lucas, of this army corps,

prevails of a reluctant judgment in

for him, rushed out of a narrow lane
and one of them fired a shot from a
revolver. The murderers were only a
couple of yards behind their victim
and the bullet struck Maitre Labor
in the back. The wounded m an ut
tered an agonized cry and fell fiat on
his face The murderers Immediately
fed through the lane from winch they
had emerged and both escaped. The
ball penetrated the posterior region Of
the thorax on the right side at the
heighth of the fifth or sixth dorsal

vents, for the present, exploration of
the depth of the wound. The doctors
hope the ball is lodged in the muscles
enveloping the verte bral column.
