M. Labori.--“And yet you continued?”

Colonel Picquart.--“Yes, but my superiors did not absolutely oppose me.

I felt that I was not in entire harmony with them, but they did not

tell me to stop. Otherwise I would have done my duty as an officer, and

would have stopped; or, rather, I do not know exactly what I would have

done at that time. But--yes, I would have stopped.”
