[UNITED rBESS ASSOCIATION.] (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH— COPYRIGHT). PARIS, April 21. General Fobzinotti, the Governor of Chervemide, the prison of Paris, deposed before tho Court of Cassation that Dreyfus strenuously resisted. Paty du Clam's suggestion that he gave documents to the secret agents of other Governments in the hope of securing more important documents in return. Captain Lebruu Jlenaud told witness in 1897 that Dreyfus never confessed. April 22. General Sausiier told Colonel Forzinotti that the case against Dreyfus was mere presumptiou. If treason was assured, Dreyfus ought to be sent to the Soudan and executed there. General Forzinotti, in his evidence, indicated that Paty du Clam constantly tried to entrap Dieyfus and wished to resort to means which he (Forzinotti) refused to sanction. Dreyfus' demeanour convinced most of the police officials of his innocence. Cammandant Gallut, a member of the court-martial, has declared that Col. Henry being the principal witness, his suicide necessitated a revision of the testimony respecting the discovery of the compromising documents in Dreyfus' waistcoat after his degradation. This caused the public to suspect it was planted there by Col. Henry's agent.
