Tbo bulletin Is signed by four doctors , Ronaud , Kelchls , Brlssaud and Vldal , and Is timed at 8:20 : o'clock this mprnlne. Further ( Molls regarding the shooting of M.

Laborl was laughing and chatting with hl companions when he was shot. The party waa passing the Qual Richmond and was about to cross the Chautcaubrland bridge , when a man , hidden behind a wooden fence at a corner of the qual stepped out and fired at M. Laborl. ' The wounded man fell to the ground. Ho tried to rise and put his hand to the wound In his back and brought the hand back cov ered with blood.

' 'Ihe shot had been heard 200 yards awa ; on the Avenue de la Gare , where a crow < had gathered as usual to witness the ar rlvat of the principal personages connectcc with the court-martial. These spectators ran In the direction of the spot where the shoot Ing had occurred , followed by gendarmes on horseback , The shot was also heard at the St. George's barracks across the river , where It was soon known that M. Laborl had been attacked. * The wounded man asked to have a car rlngo called to convey him , to hts residence and to hnve Dr. Rcclus summoned. When the doctor arrived ho knelt beside M. Laborl putting a bottle of smelling ealts to his nos tflle. Around these central figures were grouped the spectators , all deeply affected Bomo Indeed crying like children. At a Tit tic distance was gathered another group , the central figure of which was the commissar ; of police , notebook In band , taking down the testimony of the eyewitnesses of the af fair. fair.A A cordon of mounted gendarmes was drawn up na quickly as possible1 about fifteen yards apart and In the space within which were the two groups already described. Hotly Lnld on a Stretcher. , An ambulance which had been summonec arrived with four attendants of the military hospital bearing an ordinary stretcher on which was placed a blue and white strlpec mattress. On this M. Laborl was tenderly laid and the stretcher was borne by friends of M. Laborl and some newspaper men , with Mmo. Labor ! walking beside It. The only cry that M. Labor ! gave after hla first groan was when he was lifted to the stretcher , when the pain caused by the movement drew from him a moan. The party proceeded slowly back In the middle of the roadway to M. Labori's tem porary residence , whore he had rented a furnished house for use during the continu ance of thd court-martial , ; H ,1s .Bltuat'ed in a somewhat deserted neighborhood , the plate onwhich It Is located leading Into the main road running to Rennes. Accounts of the shooting related by e'ye-wltneJoes differ considerably , especially respecting the ap pearance of the would-be murderer , of whom the following- the official dpscription : Twcnty-flvo to 30 years ; flat peaked head ; dressed like a worklfagman In a blue blouse. A force of gendarmes , headed by M. Hen- nlon , sub-chief of the secret police , la scourIng - Ing the country In search of M. Labori's as sailant and a company of Infantry has been dispatched to surround and beat the wood wherein the man Is supposed to be hiding. An incredible sldo of the outrage la the fact , It Is assorted , that several pasaers-by saw M. Laborl shot and passed on Indiffer ently , -neither offering to help the victim nor joining in the pursuit of the assassin. Still more incredible Is the fact that an individual who went to the side of M. Laborl as he lay wounded on tho-ground , is said to have searched the pockets of the suffering man on the pretext of ascertain ing hla Identity and stolen their contents. AnNallant Fled at Once. The.assailant fled after the shooting , holdIng - Ing his revolver In his hand , with his flnger on the trigger and threatened several men who showed a disposition to block hla way. The correspondent of the Associated Press at 10:45 : o'clock this morning saw one of the doctors nt M. Laborl'a1 house , which was guarded by four gendarmes. The doctor said that M. Laborl was bearing the agony he was suffering with marvelous fortitude , and added : "He has been put Jio-bed and is being watched by his wife. Ho has spoken , but not of himself ; always about the trial. Wo have strong- hopes that he will pull through and have sent an optimistic tele gram to his , family. U will bo forty-eight hours , however , before wo can speak with certainty of his condition. .We have to ' thank the military -surgeon for a'lmpat the flrat attention given to thft sufferer. He came on bearing the news without hesita tion. But a deplorable length of time elapsed before the ambulance arrived. M. Laborl lay on the'ground halt an' hour with the sky menacing a storm , which came within a few minutes after ho reached home. " ' At 2 o'clock this afternoon M. Laborl was suffering great agony and the doctors , who had left the house , were' hurriedly sum moned to attend the patlenl. Colonel Jou- aust called after the close of the session of the court-martial and was allowed to sea M. Laborl. He expressed deepest regret at the occurrence. General Merclor followed , but the doctors declared that M.

Ho energetically protested against the allegation that he had desired to end Colonel Picquart to a place from which he would never return. He explained his devotion to the- country and army and anxiety respecting the eecrota of the na tional defense- often entailed exceptional measures , like resignation and going to dis tant points , whence it-waa possible to return with a superior rank , and whore heroism certainly wiped out everything except treason. ( Sensation. ) After Justifying his course toward Colonel Plcqunrt , General iBIIIot explained what he had done In connection with Esterhazy. He tben renewed his protests against the at tack the defenders of Dreyfus made upon him during the trial of M. Zola and con' ' eluded with expressing a regret that while in power he was obliged to devote most of hts time to the Dreyfus affair , which time , be added , ought to have been given to the guardianship of the national defense. M. Demango invited General BIHot to ex plain the statements of MM.

General Billet acknowledged the statements were true.

Continuing , General Billet said be waa immensely Bur- prised and deeply affected by the revela tion of the forgery. He said : "I never : ould have believed a superior officer could 3e guilty of forgery , " M , CnvnlKii'ic H IVIineNv , M , Cavalgnac , former minister of wart wa * the next witness called. Replylne to the iresldent of the court , be said he w i the Irst cablnc.t minister to assume responslbll- ty to Dreyfus. 'He ' had closely followed the nqulry of the court of cassation and still he desired to associate himself with the re sponsibility of those who in 1894 protected he country and the army against treason. Sensation. ) Continuing , the witness said that among h(3 ( principal jV6luts-upon wrilch he based ( fjr.cqhVictlbnji 'ihe confession to Cap- ' a'lh'LetirunJlenftult , In suppprt of which contention be quoted a 'passage from an al * eged letter of Dreyfus , but which In reality was cait of General Gonz's report of the minister of war on Colonel Du Paly de Clam's report on the alleged confcuuM. M. Cavalgnao admitted the possibility of m'.Htakcii In human testimony and said they ought to be taken Into account when con demning a fpllowman. But , he n ; erted , be was convinced of the guilt of Dreyfus be cause his accusers were so entirely In agree ment In their testimony. The wltntsi alto said be found additional f roofs of the prltoner'0 guilt In the tech * nlral character at the "borilnreau and thought tba bordereau alone established the fact that treason had emanated from the bureau of the general staff and from an officer who was able to secure all the information de sired. According to M , Cavalgnac even In his at tempts to .hide his crime the accused bad allowed wprds to escape him which Indisput ably established his guilt. Everything , ac cording to this witness , condemned Dreyfus and , he claimed , In spite of the prisoner's dentals It was established that he had been every n here It vyaa necessary to procure the Information In question.

Dreyfus , he claimed , waa Aware of the changes In the bridge corps belonging to the artillery and also of Iho detal'a of concentration. Why , then , the witness naked , had he denied this knowledge ? Itwait Impossible , according ( o M. Cavalgnnc , to credit that Bsterha y was n traitor , even admitting the bordereau was Written by him. Eetorhazy , ho Insisted , coald only Imve acted ns the intermediary of an accomplice. The Inquiry of the court of cassation proved treason was really committed and he , M. Cavalgnac , had not based his conviction of. the culpability of Dreyfus solely on the handwriting of thn borderail. In the secret doosler , ho pointed out , there were many elements for conviction and he proposed to dlscuns all the allegations made by foreigners with the view of exculpating Dreyfus. For Instance , ho said , there would be offi cial dementi * ( denials ) which would l ave plenty of room tor the truth to escape. Be sides , It was quite possible the accused was tullty of treason without having had direct relations with the agents of a foreign gov ernment , and a certain ambassador had ad mitted that his military attache had spied under the Immunity granted to diplomats. M , Cavalgnac nlso found In tha contradic tory statements of foreign diplomatists that Dreyfus was well known at various chancel lories. Hid A'lovr * of HenriForucrr. . Colonel Jouaust asked that Cavalgnac ex plain the discovery of the Henry forgery and the witness repeated the statements ho had already made on the subject. Ho dwelt at length on M. Culgnet's long Investigation. Colonel Jouaust then asked : "What do you think of the Henry forgery In relation to the facta now occupying our attention ? " "The Henry forgery , " replied M. Cavalg nao , "as alleged , was In order to secure a revision of the case by tbo court of cassa tion and "was not even alluded to. This forgery , therefore , should remain 'outside the scope of the questions submitted to this court-martial. That Is my opinion. " Replying to another question , M. Cavalg nac said his statement that Dreyfuswent to Brussels In the middle of 1891 rested on hearsay. M. Cavalgnao Introduced during the course of bis evidence a momornndum written in German , asking tor various information , wanted by the embassy , which appears to have been unearthed from the archives of the bureau of Information of the War office. He said he believed It was written by a mili tary attache. M. Demango asked why M. Cavalgnac , who was so anxious to Incriminate Dreyfus , had not produced this document In the Chamber of Deputies. The witness resiled that he had other means of reaching : the ends. Counsel for the prisoner then questioned M. Cavalgnao In regard to his statement that General de Boisdeftre was absent fron Parls November 6 , when General Morcler declares howas th'ore. The witness replied that Gen eral do Bolsdeffro was certainly absent on that date. Colonel Jouaust remarked that this partic ular would be elucidated when General de Bolsdeffro appeared. Colonel Jouaust then told Dreyfus to rise and asked him If he had any remarks to make upon the evidence. The prisoner , who , during M. Cavalgnac's arraignment of him , had seemed nervous and agitated , replied In a low voice : "I am as tounded that the man who produced In the tribunal of the Chamber the Henry forgery can come here and base his convictions of ray culpability on. matters which the court of cassation has already disposed of. " ( Great sensation. ) , General .Ghanolne , former minister of war , and r M. Hanotaux , former niinlster of foreign affairs , nlso testified' Their evi dence was directed against Dreyfus , but con tained little that was 'now. At noon the court adjourned until Wednesday.
