Colonel Picquart.—“I have always heard it so said at the war offices.”
The Judge.—“You do not know of your own knowledge?”
Colonel Picquart.—“No.”
M. Labori.—“Now I am going to ask Colonel Picquart—for I imagine that at the point at which things have now arrived he will not refuse to answer—whether he was not delegated by the minister of war to attend the Dreyfus trial.”
Colonel Picquart.—“I maintain my first declaration.”
M. Labori.—“You refuse to answer?”
Colonel Picquart.—“Yes.”
M. Clemenceau.—“Does General de Pellieux think that Colonel Picquart may answer?”
General de Pellieux—“I cannot speak of the Dreyfus trial. I had nothing to do with it.”
M. Clemenceau.—“That is not my question. I ask: Does General de Pellieux think that Colonel Picquart may answer the question put to him?”
