Items of Interest

Maitre Labori, counsel for Captain Dreyfus, was shot on the morning of August I4, while on his way to the court-martial proceedings. On the day previous he received two threatening letters, but he treated them with contempt, as he had treated numerous other letters of a similar nature.

The man who fired the shot was evidently one of a number of conspirators. As soon as M. Labori fell two men rushed to his side and rifled his pockets. The wounded man retained his presence of mind and refused to let his wallet, which contained important papers, be taken out of his hand. At last report he was improving, and his physicians are hopeful of his recovery.
