marked that he had been assured that the
blind were able to distinguish colors by the
touch. Dr. Howe said that he did not be-
lieve this. His opinion was that il blind

1t is understood that on Monday the gov

communicated. The actual words of the
conclusion of NJ. Mazeau's report are as

which remains intact 1t appears wise not
to leave 1t to bear alone the responsibility
for the definitive judgment which has to

According to the Liberte, NJ. Mazeau's
investigation revealed acts of impudence
and incorrectness of attitude on the part of
certain members of the criminal section of
the court, notably their refusal to hear wit

other witnesses whose testimony clashed
with their own.
