M. Labori.—“Did you take no pains to see the dispatch sent to Major Esterhazy by the veiled lady?”
General de Pellieux.—“No.”
M. Labori.—“Did not M. Leblois ask you to have an expert examination of the two telegrams at the time?”
General de Pellieux.—“The matter was never mentioned.”
M. Labori.—“In the dispatch addressed to Colonel Picquart, was not that officer’s name written without a c?”
General de Pellieux.—“Yes, he called my attention to it.”
M. Labori.—“Was not this peculiarity found also in the telegram signed ‘Speranza’ and addressed to Colonel Picquart at Sousse?”
General de Pellieux.—“Yes.”
M. Labori.—“And in an insulting letter addressed by Major Esterhazy to Colonel Picquart was not the name again written without a c?”
General de Pellieux.—“I do not know that letter.”
