On Tuesday in the French Chamber a man named Jizolme,
who was in one of the public galleries, fired two shots at M. Briand. The first shot struck the floor between M. Briand's feet, and the second wounded in the leg M. Mirman, Director of the Assistance Publique. Jizolme was formerly a school- master at Pau, and was dismissed from his position some years ago by M. Briand's orders. It seems that subsequently he was confined for some time in a lunatic asylum after firing at the French Consul at San Sebastian. The doctors certify that he is still insane, and he has again been removed to an asylum. We congratulate M. Briand sincerely on his fortunate escape.
