The judge then read the letter from Mme. de Boulancy which he had read
at a previous hearing, but including this time the following sentence,
which before he had omitted: “I am with my family, at No. 54, Avenue de
Neuilly.”
M. Clemenceau.--“The court will remember that this information had not
been previously furnished me. Therefore I have no further occasion to
ask the doctor how he found Mme. de Boulancy, but I should like to ask
him another question.”
M. Zola.--“Reference to the stenographic report will show that Mme. de
Boulancy’s present address was not given at the hearing.”
The Judge.--“That is a matter of no importance.”
M. Clemenceau.--“I make a reservation, and pass on. In the course of
Dr. Socquet’s visit to Mme. de Boulancy was there any conversation
between them about matters other than his sickness?”
Dr. Socquet [after some hesitation].--“Yes, we talked of something
else.”
