United Press Association— By Elec trie Telegraph—Copyright. Received March 9, noon. Paris, March 4 The first witness in the Caillaux trial, William Martin, French b inister at Libson, stated that when r turning to France in 1911, he was mmoned to Madrid by King Aln .onao, who said he had received an emissary from Oaillanx, who threatened Alphonso with death. Alphonso told him he had written down the emissary’s threats textually in order that if anything happened M. Poincare would know who was responsible. Alphonso told Martin that he put the document in a sealed enveloj e into a safe with instructions to open same if his death occurred. Martin added that he acquainted M. Poincare with the whole incident. Paleologne, ex-Minister, and formerly Ambassador to Petrograd, gave evidence accusing Caillaux of undermining the Franco-Russian alliance. The Russian Government had been constantly at a loss to understand the French policy during the Caillaux regime. Addressing Oaillanx he exclaimed: “Yon are the Sturmer of France !” Caillaux rushed forward attempting to reach Paleologne, but bystanders intervened.
