PARIS. Jan. 27.-The suit brought by Nine.
Henry against Joseph Reinach for slanderinG
her husband. Col. Henry, who committed sui
eide after confessinR forgery in the Dreyfus af-
fair. called up for trial this afternoon In the
Seine Assizes
In anticipation OF this PARTY OF Anarchists
appeared at the approaches to the Palace OF
Justice at 2 o'clock. They we're led by man
known by the name Of Libertad. who walked
with crutches and was bareheaded, despite the
cold. A band OF anti Semites arrived at the same
time. and the combined crowd began to invade
the Place Dauphine In the rear Of the Palace Of
Justice. The Commissary OF Police ordered
the square cleared. As the police charged upon
the crowd. the mob raised the old cries: Long
live the armyl" Down with the Jewsi" DO. A
few answered with the cry: Down with tho
priestsl"
A largo number OF witnesses were In court In
readiness to testify. The officers summoned
all appeared in plain clothes. The case was
called early In the afternoon. when NJ. Labori.
on behalf OF M. Reinach. addressed the court
and submitted arguments in favor OF postpon-
ing the trial until after the Court OF Cessation
had reached a decision in the Dreyfus inquiry.
He declared that the action was merely the
work OF a political party driven to the last ex-
tremty. though IL was ostensibly brought for
the protection and vindication Of the honor Of
a woman and her child. At this point Nine.
henry sobbed and wept NJ. Labori expressed
regret that his duty compelled him to allude to
so painful q matter.
Continuing his argument. NJ. Labori pro-
tested against the subscription taken up to en-
able Nine Henry to defray the expenses OF her
prosecution Of NJ. Renach. The subscription.
he declared. was started for the purpose OF
glorlfying the act OF Henry. who became o
forRer In order to keep an innocent man in
prison. He demanded that the trial be post
poned until the Court Of Cessation had thrown
light upon the Dreyfus affair. He declared
that the Criminal Chamber Of the Court OF
Cessation. despite the attacks made upon 1t,
continued serenely to perform It's work OF
justice. In conclusion NJ. Labori reiterated
his demand for an adjournment In the superior
interest OF justice.
The Court rejected the demand. NJ. Labor
then announced that he would appeal to the
Court OF Cassation. This appeal would have
the same effect as the granting OF the desired
adjournment. Consequently the Court, after
listening to the arguments Of Nine. Henry's
counsel who opposed an adjournment and
made violent attack upon NJ. Reinach. finally
granted N. Labori's appeal for an adjournment.
Some witnesses who favor revision OF the
Dreyfus case were. while leaving the court, at
tackled in the gallery OF the Palace OF Justice
by crowd OF anti-Semites and some Of Nine.
Henry's witnesses. The scuffle caused an up
roar. Some OF the revisionists were badly
mauled before the gendarmes interfered.
Several collisions occurred in the streets be-
tween the rival parties as they were going to
their homes. A number Of anti-Semites bru
tally attacked and spat upon party OF revision
lists in the Rue des Hales. Many Of the wit
nessea were escorted home by the police.
LONDON. Jan. 27.-A Paris despatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company says that IN
consequence Of the adjournment OF the trial
ofthe action Of Nine. Henry against NJ. Reinach.
the case has collapsed.
