At the conclusion of Dr. Poncets testi-
mony Caserio demanded writing ma
terials
Professor Ollier confirmed the diagnosis
OF DIR. Poncet. Each expert took occasion
10 puff the other and, as in the case OF the
other expert medical testimony offered,
Caserio had nothing 20 object %.
Drs Coutagne and la Cassagne, medi-
cal officers attached 10 ths Lyons project
ure who assisted in the postmortem ex-
animation, gave testimony similar TO that
OF DR.. Poncet aud Professor Ollier.
NJ. Naux, the cutler, of Cette. from
whom Cascrio purchased the dagger he
plunged into VI. Carnot's body, testified TO
the best OF his knowledge and belief that

Friday evening before the assassination.

knife on Saturday.

employer in Cette, testified that the pris-
oner was industrious but excessively
quick tempered. He had left his EN- ploy
on the Saturday before che crime having
quarrelled with him and his wife about
some trivial matter. During this testi-
mony Caserio listened attentively and
smiled.
NJ. Fochier read au affidavit from Nine.
Viala, wife of the preceding witness,
which stated that Caserio was rhe centre
of a group OF anarchists in Cette. She
related how Caserio had said that IL he
should ever mount the scaffold he would
be more courageous than Henry.
Caserio interrupted at this point and
said that 'pas incorrect. Henry he
said, was courageous 10 the last. He
couldn't have done better"
NJ. Crociochs, the police commissary at
Cette, who was recently dismissed from
his post for neglect of duty, testified that
Caserio had been expelled from France.

testified that when Caserio passed through
Lyons on an occasion previous TO the as
sassination OF VI. Carnot he had attended
