MURDER IN FRANCE.

The. following are the additional disclosures
made by Simon and Cabouat :
The day after the sentence the two culprits
appealed. At first they appeared confident and
tranquil, and seemed to have no idea of their
situation ; however, their tranquillity diminished
every day, and ere long they manifested a good
deal of apprehension. Finally, on last Wednes-
day Simon and Cabouat besought M. Sanso-
netti, President of Assizes, to repair to them.
At three o'clock the magistrate went to the
pris6n. The condemned stated to him their in-
tention to make " disclosures ;" but no sooner
had the word escaped their lips than Simon was
seized with a violent attack of epilepsy, and
Cabouat fell into dreadful convulsions. It was
impossible to take the confession under these
circumstances. At half-past seven o'clock in
the evening the President returned to the prison.
The following is stated to be the sum of the
recent disclosures:—

It will be recollected what a strong sensation
was produced upon the auditory by Simon's
declaration, which cast upon Cabouat alone all
the infamy of the assassination. As if relieved
from a load which oppressed him, Simon ap-
peared more tranquil after this disclosure, and
persons were tempted to believe in his sincerity.
However, the two culprits admitted to the Presi-
dent that this pretended confession had been
concerted between them ; and that Cabouat,
confidently relying upon being able to prove an
alibi, readily consented to the plan.
In giving the circumstantial details of the
assassination, the two criminals made the follow-
ing avowals. Cabouat knocked down the un-

fortunate Psaume with a stone; afterwards he
struck him two blows with a stick. Simon only
gave him the third blow at the moment when
their victim was expiring.
Simon confirmed these dreadful statements, and
declared that for five years he was unceasingly
beset with entreaties by Cabouat and Madame
Psaume herself, who alone impelled him to the
crime.

After these terrible avowals the criminals
again fell into convulsions.—Gazette de France.
