TRIAL AND SENTENCE OF THE

CONSPIRATORS.

[Continued from Yesterday's Irprats.]
PARIS, THURSDAY EYRNING.
Bartolotti was then interrogated. He persisted
in the confession which he had already. made. It
was Massarenti who put him in communication with
Muesarenti came to him at York, and told
him that Mozzud wanted to speak to him. Mae-
esrenti offered to pay the expenses of the journey.
He came to London and saw Muslin with a
Frenchman, who was stout and portly, and, he be-
lieved, wore moustache's. The Frenchman left
almost directly, and Martini said to him " Adieu,
Druollini," he le Neve& Ile did not know what
business Martini and the Frenchman had
together, for the latter left directly he ar-
rived, and Mattini said nothing to him in his
presence. Ile had not already stated that a dis-
cussion took place between Martini and the French-
man as to the hour at which the Frenchman usually
went out, but he had stated that when the French-
men had left Mazzini said, " 1 maintain that the
Emperor goes out in the evening, but this Frenchman
asserts that he does not ;" but he did not converse
of that before him. This was the only occasion on
which he saw the Frenchman in company with
Martini. When the Frenchman had left, Martini
said to h'in, " The Emperor of the French goes
out every evening in a small low car-
riage. Vou must poet yourself near the
Tuileries, and see what there is to be done." He
went again to Martini's the next morning with
Grilli and Massarenti. Me introduced Grilli to him,
saying, " Here is your comrade, you will keep on the
river side of the palace. it you lit,d a way to
approach the Emperoi'a carriage and to strike him,
strike him; if you do not find a way, you are free
to depart." Mazzini directed him to go at Paris to
the house of one Tibaldi. They were to say, "We
are Italians. We conic from London." Mazzini
gave him a password, but ho did not recollect
it. lie did not offer him money, but he
asked Massarenti for some, and he said he
had not got any, but that Martini would have some
in two or three days, and that he had received fifty
, silver Napoleons in a puree. Ile did not see Grilli
receive fifty Napoleons in gold. What they gave
him was in a ports-monnair, and he could not see it ;
but after they had dined together Grilli said " Let
me pay, I have money." When they arrived in
Paris and presented themselves at Tibaldi s, Ti-
baldi asked them where they 'had conic from, and
what was the news in England. He took them
to the Emperor's palace. They drank a bottle
together. He took them to No. 53 in a street
the name of which he did not recollect. Ile was not
with Grilli when Tibaldi sent him poniards. He
was some time absent from Paris. When he saw
that there was no means of killing the Emperor he
wished to leave Paris. Besides, he would never
have killed the Emperor, and if the Emperor had
been on foot close to him he would not have struck
him. Ile recollected the letter, found on him since
the arrest, of Massarenti. (The letter was here read
by the President.) In a letter which he wrote to a
legman atlYork, his promising to see her if he sur-
vived was a familiar mode of expression in his
sountry—it meant " if he did not die," " if God gives
me life."
The President, addressing Tibaldi, here said :
You see then, Tibaldi, that you received Grilli and
Bartolotti; that you armed and guided them? To
this
Tibaldi replied—l have no knowledge of all that.
The President—Why should they he ? They have
no motive for revenge against you; what they
declare is at their own expense as well as yours;
besides the facts, the weapons found in your pos-
session singularly confirm their statements.
Garet was then called. This witness is • tailor, at
present detained in the prison of St. Pelagie, under
sentence of four years' imprisonment, for taking part
in a secret society. The President informed the
jury that this witness was called to depoeo to
facts which took place in 1853. The witness stated
that he went to London in 1853, and saw Ledru
Rollin, who asked him to remit a sum of 500 francs
to a person whom he should point out. He was told
that the person's name was Beaumont, and in-
formed of the day amid hour when he should sec him
on the Place de la Madeleine. He paid the 500 francs
to the person indicated. Ile knew him by a card
which had been cut irregularly. lie had one of the
pieces, and when this person presented the other he
paid him the money.
The President here stated that the personal whole
the witness had just spoken would be aum nitalli
Koelsk, who had been arrested, and had emilliensil
that he had intended to assassinate the &wer.
The examination of Koelsk, in January, 1855, balsa
M. Nieme, the commissary of police, was then read.
Koelsk stated that he had come to France with a
project against the government. He thought that a
change of government would be useful. He wiahed,at
first, to kill the Emperor. At length he came to the
eonchision that this project would be a misfortune
for the country. He abandoned it, and was about to
leave Paris when he was arrested. He had arrived
at his determination to kill the Emperor without
Mktg influenced by any one, but it turned to the
elm as that entertained by the exiles among whom
be was living, and Galy and Rozzini were given to.
Mot as helpers. One Gourner had spoken of him to
Ledru Rollin. lie never wrote to Ledru Rollin
directly, but he may have mentioned his plane that
they might be reported to him. He wished bin to
know his plans, and had had occasion to =
them to him. Ile denied having received
lions from Italians.
The President then read a letter of Signor
Vigniere de la Booby to Signor Domolo and the de-
positions of the former before the juge d'instruction.
The wife of Girot was then examined. She lived
at 122, Rue Menilmontant. Tibaldi bad been for
eighteen months at No. 122. lie was in London for
three days in January, 1837. lie was not away for
three weeks. She saw the portmanteau produced
on his return from London. She had seen Merighi
several years ago at No. 49, but not at No. 122.
Tibaldi caused the portmanteau to be conveyed to
the house of the woman Galibourg. became it was
in his way in his room. He asked the woman
Galibourg to take care of it for him for a fortnight.
She did not know if it was Tibaldi's. She was out'
when it arrived. She had twice written letters for
I Tibaldi, who could not write French as well as he
spoke it. She did not know the address of the
letters. It was in English. She did not recollect
the name of the person to whom they were ad-
dressed. She did not know the contents of the
I travelling ease. Tibaldi told her it contained paper.
and pamphlets. She paid no attention to its weight.
Tibaldi asked for his trunk in the middle of May.
The President then said—Weil, Tibaldi, you have
heard the woman's evidence. It contradicts your I
statement. Merighi never came to see you at No.
122. The portmanteau is at your house after your
journey to London, and the woman recollects posi-
tively having written that letter at your dictation.
Tibaldi—Merighi left the portmanteau with me in
July, 1836. I did not know what it contained. He
assured me that it contained papers and books of
great importance.
The President—But the letters which she wrote
to your dictation, and which you addressed to Mas-
sarenti?
Tibaldi—l did not dictate any letter to Madame
Girot.
President—But she has just declared the con-,
trary.
Tibaldi—She is mistaken.
The witness stated in continuation that she had
seen Grilli and Bartolotti come to Tibaldi's—the
former more often. She did not recollect if Grilli
came about the time when Tibaldi took back his
trunk.
The next witness was Madame Galibourg 122,
Rua Menilmontant. She stated that M;idame
Girot brought the trunk to her house in January.
It was placed under her bed. Madame Girot trail
her about 24 hours afterwards that it belonged to
Tibaldi.
M. Collin, commimary of police, stated that he
