The Advocate-General rose:

"Well," cried the President, "we wait for the name of the murderer." Rouletabille, feeling in his waistcoat pocket, drew his watch and, looking at it, said:
"Monsieur President, I cannot name the murderer before half-past six o'clock!"
Loud murmurs of disappointment filled the room. Some of the lawyers were heard to say: "He's making fun of us!"
