An attemptat applause was silenced by the usher. ;Joseph Rouletabille," said Maitre Henri Robert, "has not been regularly. subpoenaed as a witness, but I hope, AI, President, you will examine himin virtue of your discretionary powers." A pin drop could have been heard, Rouletabille stood silent,lookingspasp pathetically at Darzac, who for the first time since the opening of the trial showed himself agitated. • "Well," cried the president, "we wait for the name of tbe.murderer," Rouletabille, feeling in his waistcoat pocket, drew his watch and, looking at it, said: "M, President, I cannot name' the raurderer before half past (1 o'clock!" Loud murmurs of disappointment filled the room. Some of the lawyers were heard to say, "He's making fun of us!" - The president in a stern voice said: "This joke has gone far enough.
