EMILE ZOLA IN DANGER. Famous French Novelist Placed on Tried at Paria. Army OUlcers Refuse to Appear us Witnesses for the Defense—The Author Hus Little Hope for Fnlr Treatment. Paris, Feb. B.—The trial of M. Emile Zola, who Is being prosecuted by the government as a result of the letter whidh be wrote last December to the Aurore, strongly reflecting upon high officials connected with* the Dreyfus case, opened Monday in the assize coart of the Seine. The most keen public interest was manifested In the case. When M. Zola entered everybody was on tiptoe to get a glimpse of him, and there was some disorder pending the arrival of the judge. Scarcely was he seated when a bundle of telegrams was handed to M. Zola, all addressed “Zola, court of assizes, Paris,” and other telegrams poured in during the proceCdyigs, altogether over 400 from all parts of the world, offering sympathy and congratulations. One from Belgium bore the signature of a thousand legal and literary celebrities and signed by a group of Roman Catholic priests said “Viva la justice.” M. Zola, who was quite calm, asked the barristers: “What is the maximum ■penalty to which lam liable?” On being told that it was six months’ imprisonment he rejoined, smiling: “If truth could but merge from this trial I would willingly take six months more.” M. Zola, who was interviewed late Monday night, looked rather haggard and was hoarse, but he seemed buoyant and spoke hopefully of the day’s proceedings. He praised the moderation and courtesy of the president of the court. He said he believed he had already produced soifie effect on the public mind, adding that the day’s record was better than he had ventured to hope. “I am convinced,” he said, “that outside feeling is growing rapidly in favor of a full inquiry. It is too much to expect that all the truth will come to light at the present hearing, but I believe we shifil see a little. Once the French people can be made to see a duty they will do it at whatever cost. I am well content with the day’swork.” M. Zola purposes to reserve his own manifesto, if permitted to offer it at all, until the close of the hearing. The proceedings commenced at one p. m., under the presidency of M. de Legorgue, who announced Ihaf the court would be cleared if there was any demonstration. Quiet was maintained owing to the knowledge that a company of republican guard® had been placed at the disposal of the judge to preserve order. The court decided to allow the accused to call evidence in support of the other charges contained in his letter, including the accusations vuhich he made against Col. Paty Du Olam and Gens. Mercier, Boisdeffre, Billot and Pellieux. M. de Legorgue read a number of letters of excuse, ihcJuddng one from the minister of justice, M. Darlan, announcing that the minister of war, Gen. Billot, had not received the authority of the cabinet to testify. M. de Legorgue also read a letter from ex-Pre-ident Oasimir-Perier, saying be could not testify except as to facts subsequent to his presidency. Col. Paty Du Clam was then called and'refused to testify. M. Laborie urged the importance of his testimony, adding that unless the court ordered the witness to testify he might be compelled to demand <p.n adjournment until the next sessions. M. Laborie then vehemently protested against the absence of the subpoenaed witnesses, and, referring to the non-appearance of Gen. Mercier, said: “When he was minister of war he sub- . mltted to the Judges of Dreyfus, behind the back qf the prisoner and his counsel, a secret document, which, however; he said, was unimportant. If this document, as declared, was unimportant, then the Incident Is ended, dnd there Is no further need for Gen. Moreier’s testimony: but if, as alleged, the secret document did not exist, let Gen. Mercier come and tell the court so, and our side will be well satisfied." Jjater, when it was stated that the officers of the army would not appear iu the witness box, M. Zola asked if the minister of wnr had ordered his subordinates not to give evidence or if they remained away spontaneously. Gen. Boisdeffre was called and claimed exemption on the ground of professional secrecy. The court then ordered a short adjournment until four' p. m. in order to nllow M. Laborie to draft his argument. On the resumption of the hearing M. Laborie made n speech demanding that the witnesses be ordered to attend and testify. The court postponed decision until to-day, and the case wns adjourned The day’s proceedings bring out more patently than before what an uphill tight lies before Zola. M. Laborie, his counsel, has already pronounced it a forlorn hope. Corner Stone Laid. Cleveland, 0., Feb. B.—The corner stone of the new chnmberof commerce was laid Monday afternoon, although the steel frame work is nearly completed. There was little ceremony.
