General de Pellieux.—“I will not answer, for it is a matter of closed doors.”
M. Labori.—“Second, was not General de Luxer then disposed to lay the question regularly before the council of war, and had he not already risen to propose to the judges that they retire to the council-chamber for deliberation?”
General de Pellieux.—“No.”
M. Labori.—“Did not General de Pellieux intervene spontaneously, saying that that was useless?”
General de Pellieux.—“No, I had nothing to say to the president.”
M. Labori.—“I have finished on that point.”
M. Clemenceau.—“We are far away from the question that I put. I come back to it. General de Pellieux has admitted that his intervention took place behind closed doors during the time for which the president of the council had declared closed doors.”
General de Pellieux.—“I do not deny it.”
M. Clemenceau.—“It is established by two successive answers made by General de Pellieux that he has answered questions of M. Labori relating to things that happened behind closed doors.”
The Judge.—“No, nothing concerning what happened behind closed doors.”
