the leakages which were only possible
through officers belonging to the ministry
of war, and it was necessary to catch the
guilty party by material evidence. Hence
the bordereau.
When asked what the chiefs of the
French general staff would say to this
confession, Esterhasy Struggling his
shoulders disdainfuly, replied: They will
lie as they know how to lie, but have
them tight. l have proofs that they knew
the whole thing and share the response

He then denounced the chiefs as a "set
of scoundrels who have abandoned me
basely'' and added; But al one time they
used to come to thank Madame Pays foI
her assistance"
Esterhazy asserted that quite recently
the chiefs sent NJ. LaGuerre, a former
