I confirm in every point the deposition
of Colonel Henry about that document.
1:24:08
It absolutely proved Dreyfus' guilt...
1:24:10
...and it is too dangerous
to reveal in public.
1:24:14
You of the jury, you represent the nation.
If that nation hasn't confidence in us...
1:24:19
...the heads of the army,
at this critical time, then I shall resign.
1:24:24
- I have no more to say.
- But I have.
1:24:26
I wish to recall Colonel Picquart
to the stand.
1:24:29
- No, don't go. Stay here, please.
- Colonel Picquart, please take the stand.
1:24:33
Will Colonel Picquart tell us what he knows
about this mysterious secret document?
1:24:40
The document came to my attention while
I was chief of the intelligence service.
1:24:44
Inasmuch as it was secret,
it was my duty to say nothing about it.
1:24:48
As it has been openly mentioned here
by my superior officer...
1:24:52
...that restriction no longer applies,
and I shall speak.

It is too dangerous to the prosecution.
1:25:06
They dare not produce it
because that document is a forgery...
1:25:10
...committed by an intelligence officer
in this room...
1:25:13
...to seal Dreyfus' fate
and save the face of the general staff.
1:25:16
This is irrelevant to the present trial.
1:25:19
- I protest this court's partiality.
- For the last time, I warn you!
1:25:22
These generals, substituting
for arguments their uniform...
1:25:26
...come to the stand,
even address the jury...
1:25:29
...violating or invoking professional
secrecy as they find convenient...
1:25:33
...saying what they please.
1:25:34
But when I wish to question these
exalted beings and expose the truth...
1:25:38
...the court bars my questions
before it knows what they are.
1:25:43
I shall not tolerate
this insult to justice.
1:25:45
And I will not tolerate
the partiality of this court!
1:25:48
Officers are allowed to say
what they please.
1:25:51
Newspapers hostile to Zola are permitted

1:25:55
Crosses mark their doors for the vengeance
of the mob if Zola is acquitted, but if l...
