Suddenly in the middle of the ceremony, when the couple were kneeling upon the altar stepp, the church doors were thrown violently open and a woman, accompanied by eight children and followed by a large crowd of angry and noisy people, roshed into the building and up the aisle. The woman all the time loudly denounced Laroux and violently assaulted him when she finally reached the altar.

Meanwhile the eight children seized the bride and stripped her clothes from her, tearing the wedding dress to shreds. A general fight ensued, the ceremonies were stopped and the noise became so great that the police came in and cleared the church of intruders. When the church had been cleared and the bride wrapped In some cloaks of the friends present, the wedding proceeded. The woman who had made the trouble had been living with Laroux for fourteen years and the eight children belonged to the couple.
