It was an extremely uncomfortable experience for Chasles since he had to admit in court that he had purchased documents supposedly written by Galileo, Cleopatra and Lazarus and how someone of Chasles's intelligence and a deep interest in history would have believed that these all these wrote in French is beyond belief! Vrain-Lucas was found guilty and Chasles, although 77 by this time, must have looked extremely silly.
Ito ay isang balisang-balisa na karanasan para sa Chasles dahil siya had sa kumilala sa hukuman na niya binili parang nakasulat na dokumento sa pamamagitan ng Galileo, Cleopatra at ketongin at kung paano ang isang tao ng Chasles's intelligence at isang malalim na interes sa kasaysayan ay sumampalataya na ito ang lahat ng mga wrote in French ay lampas sa paniniwala! Vrain-Lucas ay napatunayang at Chasles, bagama't sa pamamagitan ng 77 oras na ito, ay dapat magkaroon ng tumingin balisang-uto.
