M. Clemenceau.--“Then the court refuses to ask this question?”

The Judge.--“It is not a proper question to ask.”

M. Labori.--“Well, on this question, as on the others, we shall offer a

motion.”

M. Clemenceau.--“One word more. When M. Casimir-Perier took the stand,

he began to testify before making oath, saying: ‘I believe that it is

my duty not to tell the whole truth.’”

The Judge.--“That is not at all what M. Casimir-Perier said. He

declared that he did not believe it his duty to speak.”
