lABORI OUT OF DANGER.
Attempt Was Made to Steal His Wallet
Containg Important Papers.

Rennes, August ia clue as to the
whereabouts of the assassin was brought
to the authorities at noon and gendarmes
were orderd to concentrate at Foullard,

The condition of Labor has so improy
ed that his physicians consider him out
of danger. He lies on his back, and is
unable to move, but life is returning to the
leg first believed to be paralyzed. He
has no fever and continues to discuss the
trial.
A corroboration of the statement that
his pockets were rihed was obtained to-
day. An attempt was also made to steal
his wallet containing important papers
referring t. the court martial, including his
notes on the cross examination of
Mercier.
When he had fallen Labor saw one Of
the two men run to his side. One said,
ellis coat must come off. He'll be too
hot" The speaker then took off the
coat; another seized his wallet. Labor
refused to allow the wallet to be- taken
out of his hands putting it under his head.
No effort was made to take his watch or
money which is regarded as clear evidence
Of the plot in which several are implicat-

Rennes, august 14.-Another tragedy
marked the rise of the curtain on the
Dreyfus drama this morning, Nj. Labor.
counsel for tie accused, and the man on
whom the defense had relied for the de-
molition of General Mercler's testimony,
was shot from ambush on his way to the
court soon after six o'clock.
His assailants, of whom there were two,
escaped, and it is impossible yet to say
whether NJ. Labolis name will have to be
added to the list of strange deaths that
already punctuate this mysterious
romance. 1t was announced about the
close of the court today that NJ. Labor
might live. The wound in the lower part
OF the back is serious, however, and even
should he recover, he may be partially
paralyzed.
Madame Labori, his wife, is with him
constantly, although almost prostrated by
the shock. The stalwart counsellor has
borne his intense suffering manfully. Ills
first word after being SHOT was to send a
message to suspend the sitting Of the
ceGSt.
TllsSsxcitement caused at the Lycee was
intense, as might be imagined under the
intense strain of factional hatred, and it
was necessary at one time for the gendar-
mes to interpose between the excited
spectators, who precipitated fight in the
court room.
