 Charles deLesseps made long state ment as to the organization of the Pana- ma Canal Company. His father, he ac- krowledged, had sold his founders shares in the canal, but not for the pur- pose of withdrawing money from the enterprise. Ia every case Count de Les seps had turned such shares into money merely that he might subscribe for the new issue. On the whole, Count de Les seps invested much more money in the enterprise than he had withdrawn.
 De Lesseps was asked to explain what became of f.275,O0 in bonds payable to bearer, which was not accounted for in the company's books. He evaded the question by referring to the bonds au porteur as the company's secret service funds. When pressed by counsel he re ferred to the payment of some f. 600,O00 to Cornelius Herz, with whom the com pauy could not possibly afford to fall out After third question as to the receipt of the f. 275,000, he said, after a painful silence: "WheQ the lottery bill was laid on the table BaIhut asked for f, l. 100000, to be paid him in installments, between the introduction and adoption of the bill. Or this sum f. 275,000 was paid to Baihut. Then the bill was with drawn and nothing more was paid him"
 DeL:sseps paused a mOmen! after giving this damaging evidence against the ex-minister of public works. No body spoke nor stirred, He looked fixed ly at the judges and added: "Only when the knife was put to my throat did pay this money. I was like man giving up his watch to a highwayman."
