▪ French lawyer
born April 18, 1860, Reims, France
died March 14, 1917, Paris
French lawyer who served as defense counsel in the prosecution of Alfred Dreyfus (
Dreyfus, Alfred) for treason.
Educated at Reims and Paris, Labori spent several years in England and Germany. He was called to the bar in 1884 and rapidly made a reputation as a brilliant lawyer and advocate, being counsel for the defense in most of the important political trials of the day during a period of nearly 30 years. His conduct of the Dreyfus case placed him at the top of his profession. He fought with unremitting energy for his client during both the first and second revisions of the trial, in 1898 and 1899. Labori was shot at and wounded at Rennes on the eve of his cross-examination of the witnesses for the prosecution. Dreyfus was not finally declared innocent until 1906, and Labori never once relaxed his efforts on behalf of the unfortunate officer.
Other notable trials in which Labori was concerned were the prosecution of Émile Zola (
Zola, Émile) for libel (1898), which arose out of the Dreyfus case, and the Humbert affair (1902). In another notorious case, Labori secured the acquittal of Mme Joseph Caillaux for the murder (March 16, 1914) of Gaston Calmette, editor of the journal
Le Figaro. She shot Calmette to death for charging her husband, the minister of finance, with partiality in office and for publishing her private correspondence with Caillaux.
