- THE TRIAL.
- FIRST DAY--FEBRUARY 7.
- M. Zola.--“Complete light!”
- M. Labori.--“In regard to him we make a reservation.”
- M. Labori.--“Nor his service.”
- M. Labori.--“I make a reservation, as in the case of General Billot.”
- M. Labori.--“I have not yet received it.”
- M. Labori.--“Yes.”
- M. Labori.--“I make a reservation in regard to M. Casimir-Perier.”
- M. Zola.--“None.”
- M. Zola.--“Certainly.”
- M. Zola.--“That is absolutely true.”
- M. Zola.--“She is not there either.”
- RAVARY.
- SECOND DAY--FEBRUARY 8.
- M. Labori.--“It concerns M. Zola’s good faith.”
- M. Zola.--“It is in the summons.”
- M. Labori.--“You said: ‘I have not to know the law at this moment.’”
- M. Labori.--“Bravo!”
- M. Labori.--“It is not entitled to interrupt them.”
- M. Leblois.--“I did say so.”
- M. Labori.--“But the sequel is interesting.”
- M. Labori.--“Very well; so be it.”
- A. GONSE.
- PARIS, SEPTEMBER 8, 1896.
- PICQUART.
- GONSE.
- PARIS, SEPTEMBER 14, 1896.
- PICQUART.
- M. Zola.--“As they call me an Italian.”
- M. Zola.--“Without news, with insults.”
- M. Labori.--“No, no.”
- M. Labori.--“Yes.”
- M. Zola.--“But the Esterhazy case is also a thing judged.”
- M. Zola.--“But we are also prosecuted on the other.”
- M. Zola.--“Then there are differences in the thing judged?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Then the court refuses to ask this question?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“I demand that the question be put to the witness.”
- M. Labori.--“Well, it will be only the easier to render it.”
- M. de Castro.--“No.”
- M. Labori.--“Did M. de Castro receive threatening letters?”
- THIRD DAY--FEBRUARY 9.
- M. Labori.--“But the general must have made an inquiry.”
- M. Labori.--“And are there other reprehensible points?”
- M. Labori.--“Which is also secret, evidently.”
- M. Labori.--“Exactly. Was Colonel Picquart sent away in disgrace?”
- M. Labori.--“Concerning what case?”
- M. Labori.--“And why must not the witness go into the Dreyfus case?”
- M. Labori.--“Has General de Boisdeffre investigated the matter?”
- M. Labori.--“Do you know the veiled lady?”
- M. Labori.--“Did you make an inquiry in order to discover her?”
- M. Labori.--“And now your interpretation is different?”
- M. Labori.--“None the less you remained Colonel Picquart’s friend?”
- M. Labori.--“You have dined at his house?”
- M. Labori.--“When did you photograph Major Esterhazy’s handwriting?”
- M. Labori.--“Was that the only file that Colonel Henry had so stamped?”
- M. Gribelin.--“Yes.”
- M. Labori.--“What was this secret file?”
- M. Gribelin.--“I do not know.”
- M. Gribelin.--“Colonel Picquart.”
- M. Gribelin.--“I swear that I have told the truth.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Where are these declarations?”
- M. Labori.--“I ask that they be sent for.”
- M. Labori.--“You are mistaken, _Monsieur le Président_.”
- FOURTH DAY--FEBRUARY 10.
- L. DREYFUS.
- FEBRUARY 10, 1898.
- M. Trarieux was recalled to the witness-stand.
- M. Trarieux.--“I suppose you refer to the visit of M. Demange?”
- M. Labori.--“Yes.”
- M. Zola.--“From whom is this letter?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Something that did not concern her health?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Did she say that they were genuine?”
- M. Socquet then stepped down, and M. du Paty de Clam took his place.
- M. du Paty de Clam.--“Yes.”
- M. Labori.--“I do not, and I will tell you why, if you will permit me.”
- M. Labori.--“Thus it results from the testimony of the witness” ...
- M. Labori.--“But what was Colonel Henry’s position?”
- M. Labori.--“Under whose orders?”
- M. Labori.--“Who is now in the service under General Gonse’s orders?”
- M. Labori.--“Thank you.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Was it not the habit of the witness to do that?”
- M. Ravary.--“As to that, I am completely ignorant.”
- M. Labori.--“That is enough; I am satisfied.”
- M. Ravary.--“I said either M. Gribelin or Colonel Henry.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“M. Gribelin says that the file was in an envelope.”
- M. Ravary.--“The envelope was cut lengthwise.”
- M. Labori.--“But we ask nothing better.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“We shall remember this promise.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Ah! very well.”
- M. Zola.--“Surely.”
- M. Labori.--“In relation to the affair of M. Zola.”
- M. Salle.--“Concerning the Esterhazy case I have nothing to say.”
- M. Labori.--“_Monsieur le Président_, I use no indirect methods.”
- FIFTH DAY--FEBRUARY 11.
- M. Clemenceau.--“It is the court that is conducting this trial.”
- M. Zola.--“There are different ways of serving France.”
- M. Labori.--“Did not the general wear civilian dress?”
- M. Labori.--“I have finished on that point.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“I no longer understand you.”
- M Clemenceau.--“Yes.”
- M. Labori.--“Accomplices in the war offices?”
- M. Labori.--“I insist on the smallest details.”
- M. Labori.--“What is this secret file?”
- M. Labori.--“In circulation where? In the war offices?”
- M. Labori.--“Then there were official reproductions?”
- M. Labori.--“Were these photographs placed in the hands of experts?”
- M. Labori.--“Into how many fragments was the Esterhazy dispatch torn?”
- M. Labori.--“Was Colonel Picquart able to rearrange the pieces?”
- M. Labori.--“And yet you continued?”
- M. Labori.--“Did Colonel Picquart never receive a formal order to stop?”
- M. Labori.--“Did Colonel Picquart make it known to General Gonse?”
- M. Gribelin.--“No, the envelope was closed.”
- M. Gribelin.--“You can believe what I say; I saw it.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“He did not enter as a robber.”
- M. Labori.--“The reply is satisfactory.”
- M. Labori.--“Tell us what these irregularities were.”
- M. Ravary.--“Military justice does not proceed as yours does.”
- M. Ravary.--“Our code is not the same.”
- M. Ravary.--“I refuse to answer.”
- SIXTH DAY--FEBRUARY 12.
- M. Lauth was recalled, to be again confronted with Colonel Picquart.
- M. Clemenceau.--“Into how many pieces was the dispatch torn?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“How large was the largest piece?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“How were these pieces reassembled?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“By what process?”
- M. Leblois, being recalled, said:
- M. Labori.--“Possibly not, but it is mine.”
- M. Labori.--“What was the date of this visit?”
- M. Zola.--“Exactly.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“I wish to bring out the truth.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“No.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“But” ...
- M. Clemenceau.--“Have I the floor for proving the truth?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“And Article 319?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“It is to the jurors that I wish to read it.”
- M. Labori.--“Why not?”
- M. Labori.--“But it concerns the Esterhazy case.”
- M. Labori.--“What violation?”
- M. Demange.--“Why, yes, of course.”
- M. Demange.--“I believe I did.”
- M. Labori.--“Did he see it in the original?”
- M. Demange.--“Certainly.”
- M. Labori.--“Has he seen the photographs of it?”
- M. Demange.--“A striking resemblance. You have not the original, then?”
- M. Demange.--“I think that two honest men can differ in opinion.”
- M. Labori.--“What does M. Quillard think of M. Zola’s letter?”
- M. Zola.--“Absolutely.”
- M. Labori.--“M. Bertillon will make the necessary correction.”
- M. Bertillon.--“I furnished no written expert testimony.”
- M. Labori.--“What are these documents?”
- M. Labori.--“Did you not once receive a visit from M. Picquart?”
- M. Bertillon.--“Oh! not at all.”
- M. Bertillon.--“Produce the document, and I will tell you.”
- SEVENTH DAY--FEBRUARY 14.
- BEAULIEU (ALPES-MARITIMES).
- M. Bertillon.--“I remain on the ground of my previous deposition.”
- M. Bertillon.--“I have answered that question.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“You do not answer my question.”
- M. Bertillon.--“I have been forbidden nothing at all.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Then the witness has seen nobody?”
- M. Bertillon.--“I have seen nobody. I have consulted the situation.”
- M. Labori.--“That is the explanation which I am trying to get at.”
- M. Bertillon.--“What is the question?”
- M. Bertillon.--“It refers to my deposition of 1894 in the Dreyfus case.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“What conclusion does the witness draw from it?”
- M. Bertillon.--“That is not it at all.”
- M. Bertillon.--“In which case?”
- M. Bertillon.--“That is to speak of that case.”
- M. Labori then read an interview from “L’Echo de Paris.”
- M. Bertillon.--“It is impossible.”
- M. Labori.--“I have been waiting a long time.”
- M. Bertillon.--“Because it is the work of another.”
- M. Bertillon.--“Of which case is he speaking?”
- M. Labori.--“Of the Dreyfus case.”
- M. Bertillon.--“It is impossible to answer that in a single word.”
- M. Labori.--“We do not ask that you shall answer it in a single word.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Has the witness seen the Esterhazy _bordereau_?”
- M. Bertillon.--“You torment me with questions.”
- M. Bertillon.--“I am willing to answer yes.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“You are very accommodating.”
- M. Labori.--“This is something, at any rate.”
- M. Bertillon.--“Perhaps I did wrong to say so.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“By a lawyer?”
- M. Bertillon.--“I repeat, attempts have been made” ...
- M. Bertillon.--“All these questions relate to the Dreyfus case.”
- M. Bertillon.--“That is, you transform into an accusation” ...
- M. Bertillon.--“You always come back to the affair of 1894.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“I have nothing more to say, _Monsieur le Président_.”
- M. Bertillon.--“Absolutely.”
- M. Teyssonnière.--“No.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Nor afterward, either?”
- M. Labori.--“Did he tell you that he was sent by anyone?”
- M. Clemenceau.--“Then when do they give an opinion?”
- EIGHTH DAY--FEBRUARY 15.
- M. Labori.--“Is the witness an Israelite?”
- M. Labori.--“Will you give us your opinion of the _bordereau_?”
- M. Labori.--“But, _Monsieur le Président_, I pray you.”
- M. Labori.--“But I have a question to put.”
- M. Labori.--“I insist, _Monsieur le Président_.”
- M. Labori.--“Oh! _Monsieur le Président_, it is interesting” ...
- M. Labori.--“I shout, because I need to make myself heard.”
- M. Labori.--“You say that; but I say I wish to put it.”
- M. Labori.--“You do not even know the question.”
- M. Auguste Molinier is ushered in.
- M. Labori.--“Then it is a standing decree?”
- M. Célerier.--“Yes.”
- M. Célerier.--“I did not.”
- M. Franck.--“Through M. Bernard Lazare.”
- M. Labori.--“Will M. Grimaux tell us what these threats were?”

- M. Zola.--“Absolutely.”
- NINTH DAY--FEBRUARY 16.
- M. Labori.--“That is understood. Well, I point that out to the jury.”

- M. Labori.--“I ask that Colonel Picquart be heard.”
- M. Labori.--“Yes, at five o’clock tonight, when the hearing is over.”
- M. Labori.--“What notes?”
- M. Teyssonnière.--“The notes that I take daily.”
- M. Teyssonnière.--“Yes.”
- M. Teyssonnière.--“I did.”
- M. Teyssonnière.--“No.”
- M. Labori.--“Well, then, be off.”
- M. Teyssonnière.--“I have not said that.”
- M. Couard.--“By practice, my dear master,--practice for eight years.”
- TENTH DAY--FEBRUARY 17.
- I address you meantime:
- M. Labori.--“And at what date was it written?”
- M. Labori.--“I read from the Dreyfus indictment:
- M. Labori.--“I ask that Colonel Picquart be heard on these points.”
- M. Labori.--“You refuse to answer?”
- M. Labori.--“Come back now to this passage of the _bordereau_:
- M. Labori.--“Two words only.”
- M. Labori.--“We are advancing, we are advancing.”
- M. Labori.--“I do not know.”
- M. Labori.--“It is proved.”
- M. Labori.--“It is well. I thank you, my general.”

- M. Labori.--“Pardon me, I have some questions to put.”

- M. Labori.--“_Monsieur le Président_, I ask you for the floor.”
- M. Labori.--“I am going to offer a motion in order to obtain the floor.”
- M. Labori.--“I am drawing up my motion, _Monsieur le Président_.”
- PARIS, FEBRUARY 18, 1898.

- M. Clemenceau.--“This does not concern foreign politics.”
- M. Clemenceau.--“I will offer a motion, if necessary.”
- TWELFTH DAY--FEBRUARY 19.
- M. Labori.--“Pardon me, _Monsieur le Président_” ...
- M. Labori.--“I have not argued.”
- M. Labori.--“You had deprived me of the floor.”

- M. Demange.--“I have examined only the question of right.”
- M. Demange.--“I have read only a part.”
