"Perhaps you are right. But Jenny must have had special orders to prevent Guespin from putting in an alibi."
"But," said M. Domini, "Jenny will explain it all to us."
"That is what I rely on; and I hope that within forty-eight hours I shall have found her and brought her safely to Corbeil."
He rose at these words, took his cane and hat, and turning to the judge, said:

"Yes, I know," interrupted M. Domini, "you want a warrant to arrest
Hector de Tremorel."
"I do, as you are now of my opinion that he is still alive."
"I am sure of it."
M. Domini opened his portfolio and wrote off a warrant as follows:
"By the law: "We, judge of instruction of the first tribunal, etc., considering articles 91 and 94 of the code of criminal instruction, command and ordain to all the agents of the police to arrest, in conformity with the law, one Hector de Tremorel, etc."
