had menaced him with attack in the
newspapers unless he would help the
Panama project. Charles de DeSsepS
arose. and denied having uttered any
such menace.
NJ. Soinoury, chief Of the detective
department, who had fastened TO court
of his own accord when he heard OF
Nine. Cottu's statement, took the wit
ness stand and declared that Nine.
Cottu came to his Office voluntarily to
ask permission to visit her husband.
Soinoury swore that he had never
threatened and had never attempted 10

the effect that Soinoury had asked her
whether she possessed any documents
compromising deputies on the extreme
longed sensation in court. and loud
murmurs were heard on all sides. Nj.
Soinoury seemed somewhat disconcert-
ed. On being pressed he admitted that

The chamber of deputies was crowded
today, the occasion being the debate
on the demand by M. Gustave
Lamarzelle, RevisioniSt deputy for
| Morbihan, for the production
| of alleged menaclng kilograms
from Cornelius Herr to certain politl-
clans. M. Ribot, the premier, explained
to the chamber that M: dc franqueviiie,
| the examining magistrate, had made the
same demand, and found that the tele-
grams had been destroyed in the ordi-
nary official routine. If copies had
| been preserved in the detective
| office, they would be given to
the chamber. At a session of
| the committee of Investigation of
the chamber of deputies, the committee
tod refused to accept the resignation
| of M. Henry Brisson as president, and
| also resolved to summon Nj. Ribot and
| M. Bougoirs to explain the action taken
| for the arrest-of Marin, the alleged go
| between in the bribery of deputies.
The committee also resolved to
ask for the documents showing
what had been done in relation to eX-
traditing Cornelius Herr, and for the
facts relating to Cottu's being allowed
to go at large. 1t is understood that the
lack of confidence indicated by this
course on the part of the commission of
| investigation has had much to do with
prompting the resignation of M. Bour-
| geois.
M. Bourgeois, In his letter to III. Ribot
| announcing his resignation, said that
he resigned because M. Soinoury's evil
dence had failed to establish the fact
| that he had never authorized any one
| to approach Nine. Cottu in connection
with the Panama case, and he felt that
there was no alternative but to resign
| In order to free himself from all suspi-
| cions.
