ranging for meeting in Switzerland
in order to form an international asso-
citation for their defence against the
crusade of the anti -Semites and to
protect the Jews in France after the
Dreytus court-martial is ended.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press here obtained complete corro-
boration today of the statement that
the pocket of M. Labori's coat were
riaed yesterday 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 important papers re-
ferring to the court.martial. including
his notes for the cross examination of
General Mercier.
M. Labori himself related the Incl
dent 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
The speaker took the wounded advo-
Gates coat off and another man seized
the wallet. M, Labor, however, re-
tanned his presence Of mind, and re-
fused to allow the wallet to be taken
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. M. Labori asked his
wife to look in his pockets and see if
their contents were safe.
Madame Labori found the pockets
completely emptied. Luckily, no pa
pers of Importance we're in the pock-
cts, which only contained personal
letters, including menacing letters re-
ceiving on the previous day.
The rifing of the lawyers pockets
Of the papers and the attempt to steal
his wallet, while no effort was made to
appropriate his watch OF money, are
regarded as clear evidence of plot in
which several men were implicated.
The man WHO actually fired the shot,
it 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 attendance upon M.
Labori have sent to Paris for an X
Ray apparatus in order to locate the
bnllet.
Dreyfus has written two letters to
M. Labor. The first, on hearing the
news of the attempt to murder the
lawyer, is spontaneous expression
of his shocked feelings. The second
is touching epistle expressing the
prisoners keenest regrets at the das-
tardly outrage, profound gratitude to
M. Labor for his heroic champion
ship and heartfelt wish for his happy
recovery.
Paris, August l5,-The Matin today
makes the announcement that Maitre
Lobori, after he was shot yesterday,
declared that, as the outcome Of his
injury appeared doubtful, he wished
to make known the fact that M. Cham
ern, who has charge of secret docu-
ments in the Dreyfus case, has discov
cred new forgery in the dossier.
The anarchist organ LIE Journal Du
People says that in retaliation for the
outrage upon Labor the anarchists
will hold Gener Mercier and NM.
Drumont, Rochefort and Jadet as
hostages and personally responsible
for anything done against the anar-
chists.
