CHRIsTI.NI GOES TO PRISON.
Given Four Years for Assauiting
President Ioubet.

PARIS, June 13.-Baron Christfani, who
assaulted President Loubet with cane
at the Auteull races June ith. was sem
fenced to-day to four years imprison-
ment.
Christian was tried before the Correc-
tional Police Court. The judges delibe-
rated 50 minutes and then delivered judg-
mcnt. saying that. according to the arti-
ces of the penal code, under which Chris
tiani was sentenced, he was liable to
from two to five years Imprisonment.
There was a general exclamation Of
surprise when the Baron was sentenced
to four years Imprisonment and also to
pay the costs Of the trial. Chrstiani
listened unmoved 20 his sentence.
The court in which the Baron was tried
is one Of the smallest halls in the Palace
OF Justice. The room Is panelled with
oak, and behind the judges hangs paint
ing Of the CruciXion. Christianl sat in
the dock beside policeman, and only
few ticket-holders and other privileged
persons were allowed In the courtroom,
which was almost filled with policemen
and municipal guards.
BARON'S DRESS IRREPROACHABLE
Christiani, who is above the medium
height, has an irOn-graY mOuStache, wore
an eye-gass, and was elegantly dressed.
Counsel for the Baron pleaded that the
prisoners act was Lot political one
but that he acted spontaneously on the
impulse OF the moment, losing his head
in the midst OF the scene Of excitement
around him. IN his own behalf. the
prisoner said he did not belong 20 the
ROyalist Club. nor to the White Carna-
tion Club, and asserted that his act was
wholly unprecedented.
The Procureur-General,M VI. F'euilloley,
controVerted the statements Of the prison.
er, denying that his act was premeditated,
referring to the fact that Christiani,
speaking TO police inspector at the time
of his arrest, said: III there had been
forty of rs, We would have carried off
the whole presidential stand"
There was no incident worth noting
during the trial, but It appeared that the
majority of those present thought thu
sentence very severe though IL was not
expected that the prisoner would receive
lenieut treatment.
