The Alleged Bribery of Fishermen

Prees Association. —Copyright. Paris, Jannary 30 Thb British witnesses at the Commission of Inquiry sitting on th<-(Novth Sea incident have almost finished giving evidence.

The Kamschatka has been identified as the vessel remaining behind until day* break and firing the final shot on the trawlers.

The Bus ian lawyers are trying to prevent the disclosure of the attempts of Russian agents at Hull to-bribe the fishermen.

Captain Sivedish, of the ship Aldebaran, testified at the Paris Commission that the Russians first attacked the Aldebaran under the search light.

The Russian representative protested against hearing evidence not connected with the trawlers.

Captain O'Beirne emphasized the statement that the Lamschatka, imagining a torpedoer was attacking her, first fired upon the Aldebaran, which alarmed Admiral Roshdestvensky, the result being the outrage on the trawlers.
