The public prosecutor will use that farcical burglary as a crushing argument when he asks the jury for Salvat's head." Such was Janzen's hatred of the police that he stubbornly clung to his version of the affair.

Perhaps, too, he had quarrelled with Bergaz, with whom he had at one time freely associated.
Guillaume, who understood that all discussion would be useless, contented himself with replying: "Ah! yes, Salvat! Everything is against that unhappy fellow, he is certain to be condemned.

But you can't know, my friends, what a passion that affair of his puts me into.

All my ideas of truth and justice revolt at the thought of it.
