M. Labori.—“I say that Major Ravary must either observe professional secrecy, or not observe it. In saying that there are many other charges, he does not observe professional secrecy. I am not in favor of closed doors or professional secrecy, but, since Major Ravary has already violated professional secrecy, he may well tell us of the other charges against Colonel Picquart.”
M. Ravary.—“Military justice does not proceed as yours does.”
M. Clemenceau.—“There are not two justices. There is only one—the true justice.”
M. Ravary.—“Our code is not the same.”
The Judge.—“Answer the question, if you see fit,”
M. Ravary.—“I refuse to answer.”
M. Labori.—“Under these circumstances there is nothing left of all that M. Ravary has said.”
Colonel Picquart.—“I cannot allow this charge to rest upon me. I ask M. Ravary to declare frankly what other irregularities are laid at my door.”
M. Ravary.—“There are the two already referred to,—that of which M. Gribelin has spoken, and which I did not put in my report, and that which M. Lauth has described.”
Colonel Picquart.—“And, covering all that with an insinuation, you were allowing it to be supposed that there were many other things.”
