Of that part OF the crimes and

act. To sum up, therefore, with
out mentioning his share in the
other crimes-the death of In

chauffeur-I accuse him of kill
ling Cosmo Mornington, Edmond
4 Fauville, Hippolyte Fauville, Ma
4 RE Fauville, and CASTOR Sauver-.

i those who stood between the mil
4 lions and himself. These last

When a man does away with
five Of his fellow creatures in
order to secure certain number
of millions, it means that he is
convinced that this proceeding
will positively and mathematics

session of the millions. In short.
when a man does away with a
millionaire and his four success
: sive heirs, it means that he him
self is the millionaire s fifth heir.
The man will be here in mo-
ment. "
