CHAPTER II
82/111

(Evidence of witnesses on the trial of Carrier.)--Paris, II., 113, "Histoire de Joseph Lebon." "The prisons," says Le Bon, "overflowed at Saint-Pol.

I was there and released two hundred persons.

Well, in spite of my orders, several were put back by the committee of Surveillance, authorised by Lebas, a friend of Darthe.

What could I do against Darthe supported by Saint-Just and Lebas?
He would have denounced me."-- Ibid., 128, apropos of a certain Lefevre, "veteran of the Revolution," arrested and brought before the revolutionary tribunal by order of Lebon.

"It was necessary to take the choice of condemning him, or of being denounced and persecuted myself, without saving him."-- Beaulieu, "Essai," V., 233.
