M. Clemenceau.--“You do not answer my question.”

The Judge.--“You are asked what steps you have taken to obtain the

documents.”

M. Bertillon.--“I have reflected upon the situation, and have realized

that these plates are the property of the minister of war.”

M. Clemenceau.--“Then, contrary to what the witness just said, he has

not been forbidden to produce these documents.”
