recently SEIZED shout he communicated TO the
commission. These documents however, must
be handled with great caution lest their con-
tents should be used for purposes prcjudicial to
the prosecution defence
NJ. Blisson, chairman of the committee pressed
NJ. Bourgeois for more precise pledge as to the
delivery of the documents, but VI. Bourgeois re-
itcrated rather vague promise that he would
help the committee by all possible means, al
though his power to do so was curtaled considciu-
bly, by the examining ma agstrate.
VI. AndricuX, cX-PIelcct Of Police was the next
witness He said that he had photograph Of a
statement and account written By Baron R'in-
ach This showed the names of the payccs OF
checks drawn by the Baron. VI. AndreuN wrote
a list of names on a piece of paper and handed IL
to NJ Brisson, saying at the same time that four
other names one of high pcr-ona-c. he WAS
prevented from mentioning by the dictates ol
discretion. DR.. Cornelius iIerz had shown lin
document bearing the names of l04 Deputies VINO
had been bought blythe lobbyist Arton for a
total sum of $4,000 francs.
NJ Andreu< could name most, if not all. of the
men mentioned in this document. Proofs OF the
culpabty of mary men named in the document
had been promised him. He would try TO obt IN
the document from Dr.. Herr. He wished it TO
be understood, however. that he could not guar
antcc absolutely the accuracy Of the document or
Baron Rel 9ach's statement. In hs opinion, !aron
Rcinach's word was far from unmpcachable. 10
his knowledge Rcinach had begun to pay personal
debts with the money of the Panam1 Canal Com
pany.
When asked to explain passing mention Of the
payment of checks TO VI. Foquet, VI. AndrieuN
explained that Fclix Cottu, director of thc canal
company, had told him Baron Renach once spoke
of Floouet's needing 10000 francs for the secret
boI .-.1
with Floquet, and Ecinach had agreed to arrange
for one Eventuaiy however, Rcnach took
Gotta to see Clcmenccau, as FloQuet was too busy
TO spare time for meeting Baron ReinacA had
added that Albert Christophlc, governor of the
Credit Foncicr, who was concerned in s,vcrai
projects in connection with the Panama Canal,
might be thrown over, although through the Gov
crnment il might be possible TO secure the lniiu-
cnce of the Credit Foncier for the canal. when
Cottu me; Ccmcnccau, the latter confirmed the
statement regarding Clristophle, but did not
mention the money question. Cottu had been
rendered so apprehcnsiye by what he heard that
he had consented TO give the Government TIE
10000 francs required for the secret service
fund. Co.tu had told Renach however. that the
whole affair was a blsckmalllng swindle and
misht cause trouble Reinach had responded
No. no. none at all can say that |

Of the company, and nobody will know the
difference"
Subsequently Reinach had said that Cotu was
too thin-ekinned Cottu seized Reinach by the
heard dragged him from the front room OF the
bank into the private Office, and, after calling
him an embezger and coward, had demanded back
the check for the 100000 francs. Rcnach de-
clared that it was al his house and succeeded IN
holding Of Cottu until the final crash came. over
whelming everybody. But part of the amount
had then been paid over 10 the Government
Deputy Barthou, member of the committee,
asked NJ Andreux why, if he knew Rcinach to
he 50 dishonest, he placed any reliance upon
Renac's charges that Deputies had sold their
votes.
NJ. Andrcux answered. Although dishoncs,
with others, Baron Rcinach had 10 reason for
making out private memoranda and connterfoil-
falsely
" Baciau, advertising agent for tho Panama
Canal Company, testified that the sums paid to
newspapers by the company ranged from 100000
francs to 900. 900 francs for each issue Of shares
