M. Labori.--“Did he have a correspondence with one or more members of
his family?”
M. du Paty de Clam.--“It is on this point, _Monsieur le Président_,
that I ask permission to keep silent. I can reveal nothing. This
concerns the honor of a family, the memory of a dead person, and I will
not do it. It is private ground. It is my domain, and no one has a
right to infringe upon it. It has no relation with the Esterhazy case,
and I will say nothing about it.”
The Judge.--“You understand the answer?”
M. Labori.--“Yes, _Monsieur le Président_, I understand the answer, and
I understand also that, though you consider it good, I do not.”
The Judge.--“Exactly.”
