The Judge.—“Go on, General.”
M. Labori.—“I ask permission to offer a motion. I ask for the presence of Colonel Picquart here.”
The Judge.—“You have not the floor. Go on. General.”
General de Pellieux.—“I pretend to prove here, documents in hand, that the officer who wrote the bordereau is an officer of the war department, an officer of artillery, and, furthermore, a licentiate. I ask for a copy of the bordereau as it appeared in ‘Le Matin’.”
M. Labori.—“I ask you to send for Colonel Picquart. I protest against the absence of Colonel Picquart.”
The Judge.—“I will send for Colonel Picquart when I get ready.”
M. Labori.—“That is understood. Well, I point that out to the jury.”
The Judge.—“Point out what you like.”
M. Labori.—“I intend to do so. You think to turn the course of the debate, because General de Pellieux is here alone.”
The Judge.—“I have told you that you have not the floor. Do not oblige me to take measures. Go on, General.”
