There appeared further as witness, the man-servant Jules Brontine, 38 years of age, Catholic, a Belgian citizen, who made the following statement:
I can only state what Herr Bloch has already made known. He sent me on August 19th to the police station, in order to surrender his revolver. The Commissaire of Police, to whom I handed the weapon, sent me off with the words, "One must not believe everything one reads in the newspapers." Thereupon, I returned home again with the revolver. I said that the weapon belonged to Herr Bloch, who, as a German, was personally known to the Commissaire of Police. I assumed that the demand in the newspapers only referred to guns and swords.
