M. Clemenceau.--“No.”

The Judge.--“You will do what you like in your argument.”

M. Clemenceau.--“Then take the floor away from me, and I will be

silent.”

The Judge.--“I take the floor away from you so far as summing up is

concerned. You can ask questions, if you like.”

M. Clemenceau.--“I wish, by the testimony of two witnesses who are in

disaccord, to bring out the proof of the truth.”

The Judge.--“Not now.”
