The Judge.—“No, no, this is a general question. It has nothing to do with the Dreyfus case.”
M. Bertillon.—“That is, you transform into an accusation” ...
The Judge.—“You are asked, if a similar case were to come up, whether you would use the same system. That has nothing to do with the Dreyfus case; it is a general question.”
M. Bertillon.—“You always come back to the affair of 1894.”
M. Labori.—“Well, I can say to the jurors only one thing, the accusation of 1894, and there you are! And now I have done with this witness.”
M. Clemenceau.—“I have nothing more to say, Monsieur le Président.”
M. Labori.—“There has been but one charge, the bordereau; and there you see the expert, the principal expert.”
The Judge.—“Then you pretend that, without speaking absolutely of the case of which you have no right to speak, you cannot explain yourself?”
M. Bertillon.—“Absolutely.”
M. Bertillon was succeeded on the witness-stand by M. G. A. Hubbard, representing Seine-et-Oise in the chamber of deputies.
