Only one of them heeded the Judge’s hint to withdraw so as to avoid hearing delicate Evidence. „ 1 The accused’s wife admitted she had travelled in the company of Delpierre from Nice, but: she declared that there was no impropriety. She asserted that her husband was both debauched and idle:, and that he left her free to follow her own inclinations.
