1t is necessary TO have funds. We have
two ways of raising funds. We issue a

At the conclusion OF his testimony

Prof. August Molinier of the school OF

further convince him that dt was the
work of Esterhazy.
The witness demonstrated how the
conclusions Of the experts who attrib-

defects OF NJ. Bertillon's arguments,
pointing out the striking resemblance
