again crowded today when the trial OF
Baihaut and his fellow defendants was
resumed. The audience included num-
Der OF prominent men whose names
nave been mentioned in connection with
the Panama scandal, but there was not such a
rush as on the previous day OF the lower
classes OF society to obtain admission. The Of
feet OF the vote of confidence of the chamber
OF deputies yesterday was plainly visible in the
less satisfied air of the enemies of the govern
ment. The defendants themselves looked worn
and fatigued by the strain and anxiety from the
trial.

the brief examination of NJ. Constans.
Ex-Deputy Sans-Leroy again summoned
as to his excuse for depositing large sum of
money at the time he was charged with having

vote in committee on the lottery
bonds bill. Sans-Leroy repeated at length
his previous story to the effect that the money
was part of his wife's dowery and that he was
merely changing the investment of the amount
at the time he made the deposit with the Credit
Lyonnaise of 100 coo francs in April, 1883. He
produced documents intended to corroborate
his explanation that the deposit was simply part
of reinvestment of his wife's dowery of 200, 900
francs.
The advocate general observed that the docu-
ments entered by SanS-Leroy had no bearing
on the case.
