Paris, April 22. M Ferznette, Governor of Cherchemidi prison at Paris, deposed before the Court of Cassation that Dreyfus strenuously resisted Taty dv Clam's suggestion that he gave documents to secret agents of other Governments in the hope of securing more important documents in return. Captain Le Brun Renald told witness in 1897 that Dreyfus never confessed. (Received April X 25, at 050 am.) Paris, April 24. Genes&i Merciev, re-ex&miaed, admitted that he withheld from the courtmartial Colonel Panizzardi's telegram to his Government at Rome asking them to deny relations with Dreyfus if none existed. M Hanotaux deposed that he felt patriotic anguish at the prospect of diplomatic difficulties and he persistently endeavored to prevent the trial, but was not cognisant of the communication of a secret dossier to the court-martial. M Chincolle deposed that he heard Esterhazy declare that he wrote the bordereau, that he was ordered to write ifc, and received 80,000 francs from General Billot in one year. M Berenger will call the attention of the senate to the illegality of secretly communicating with the court-martial.
