The Lawyer Tells of Quarrel
 With His Client.
Labori Says the Dreyfus Case Came to an End When the Captain Accepted Pardon from
 Government.

Paris, Dec. 4-The recent revival of in- terest in the Dreyfus affair has created several incidents which, while they do not offect the question of the inno- cence of Dreyfus, throw light on the sub sequent relations of Dreyfus, Reinach, Labori. Picquart and other Dreyfusards. Reinach's withdrawal of his brief from Maitre Labori in the suit brought against the former by Madame Henry was the first development which drew attention to the rupture between them. Labori about the same time published an article In The Grande Revue, which he edited, on the political situation, in which he pointed out that the Dreyfus affair was closed by the fact that Dreyfus had ac- repted pardon.
 These declarations indicated a rupture between Labori and Dreyfus. The Na- tonalist Echo de Paris, then published an interview with a friend of Reinach and of the Dreyfus family, who said that Reinach withdrew the brief because his friend. Cornely, who represented his views, had been removed from the po- sition of political leader writer on La boris Review, notwithstanding Laborfs promise to retain him, given him when Reinach financially supported The Re- view. The infol mant Of the interviewer also asserted that Labori was furious be- cause Dreyfus did not remain in prison and, from there, continue to prosecute the work of his rehabilitation.
 The interviewer remarked that Labori had sacrificed his reputation and practice for Dreyfus and his informant replied: But, Maitre Labori did not live forever on the Dreyfus affair and the family acted very well toward him in every re- spect." @ :,
 The informant said Picquart was led astray by Labori in withdrawing his ap- peal to the Council of State, and in re- frsing to re-efesr the army even hrthe decision was in his favor. The informant then added:
 We do not comprehend Picquarts at- titude or his anti-Semitic which Is mo- torious D. eyfus, when he was released wrote to him expressing warm thanks for his devotion and asked for an in- terview to enable him to express his thanks personally. Picquart sent cool reply, saying that he would let him know when he would receive him and Dreyfus has heard nothing from him since"
 The Libre Parole then published an in- fer few Wi:h an alleged fri nd of Labori declaring that when the latter was shot at Rennes several circumstances lea nm to believe that the outrage was instigat- ed by the Waldeck- Rousseau ministry which was playing for big stake with his life.
 Another Dreyfusard, an artist named Ibels, now writes to the newspapers to express in violent terms his disillusion- DFpVTIIS Analr. lDelS took an active part in the agitation, In the shape of a series of caricatures, ana he now declares the Reinach party has thrown him over and insulted and injured him. His partisanship of Dreytus cost him his livelihood.

He wept while recounting .how he had suffered from the treatment he had eX-
 
 he was disgusted at being sacrihced ike us."
 Labori today breaks silence in an article published by The Journal, the first or series which he announces, entitled My Explanations." What he says today IS not of the first importance, but IS eVl- dently prelude to interesting revelations regarding his relations with Dreyfus ana Reinach. He says that he ceased to be nraNfnS a at the request of the Dreyfus family and that in view of the divergence of opinion as to the conduct of the Dreyfus trial and the subsequent amnesty question. he asked Reinach, in October 1899, to allow him to relindush his briefs in the Henry and other cases, but Reinach appealed to his devotion, poinging out the grave effects of a public separation between them. Reinach wrote to him approving his 6abori's) recent article in The Revue and then withdrew the brief in the Henry case on the ground of breach of friend ship in dismissing Cornely. Labori con cludes with saying that he has endured the calumnies of his adversaries for years past, but to allow himself to be calum- niated by clients or friends of clients as in the Echo de Paris articles, which he knows came through an authorized in- formant, is too much to expect from his abnegation. He will reply thereto in the next article.
 In a footnote to the Libre Parole inter view, Labori does not deny the asser- lions made, but says he will explain the matter later.
