M. Labori then read an interview from “L’Echo de Paris.”

M. Bertillon.--“For every word, an inaccuracy; but to rectify them it

would be necessary to go into the case of 1894. That I will not do.”

M. Labori.--“Very well; then will M. Bertillon prove to us, by the

interesting methods that are peculiar to him, not that the _bordereau_

is the work of Dreyfus, because the court will stop him, but that it is

not the work of Esterhazy?”

The Judge.--“You hear the question. Under these conditions I can put

it to you. On your soul and conscience, is it possible that this

_bordereau_ came from the hand of Major Esterhazy?”
