In the office of the head of staff, he found himself in the presence of Du Paty and three others, also in civilian dress, whom he did not know at all ; they were Gribelin ( the archivist of the Intelligence Office ), the " chef de la sûreté ," Cochefert, and the latter's secretary.

While awaiting the general, Du Paty, pretending that he had hurt his finger, asked Dreyfus to write from his dictation a letter which he wished to present for signature.

Things did not turn out as Du Paty had expected.

There was a moment when Du Paty, who was closely watching him, imagined he saw his hand tremble, and remarked sharply upon it to Dreyfus, who replied, " My fingers are cold.

" Du Paty and his associates assured him that a " long inquiry " made against him had resulted in " incontestable proofs " which would be communicated to him later on.

The conduct of the inquiry was entrusted to Major Du Paty de Clam.

Du Paty repeatedly visited Dreyfus in prison.

Du Paty questioned him without obtaining any other result than protestations of innocence broken by cries of despair.

Not until 29 October did Du Paty show the entire text of the bordereau to Dreyfus, and then he made him copy it.

On October 31 Du Paty finished his inquiry, and handed in his report, which accused Dreyfus but left it to the minister to decide what further steps should be taken.

Du Paty de Clam got entangled in his description of the scene of the dictation.

This dossier was given up, still sealed, by Major Du Paty ( who was ignorant of the contents ) to Colonel Maurel, and the latter immediately entered the room where the judges were deliberating on the case, and communicated it to his colleagues.

" ( a commonplace initial which it was absurd, after Panizzardi's telegram, to attribute to Dreyfus ), and a sort of military biography of Dreyfus, based on, but not identical with, a memorandum from Du Paty, who had been told to make the various documents of the secret dossier coincide with one another.

The same day the condemned man received a visit from Du Paty de Clam, who had been sent by the minister of war with the mission to declare to Dreyfus that if he would make a confession and reveal the nature of his indiscretions, he might obtain a mitigation of his sentence.

Du Paty, somewhat moved, said to him on going out: " If you are innocent, you are the greatest martyr of all time.

In reality, the latter had merely related his interview with Du Paty and protested his innocence.

He wrote himself to the president, to Du Paty, and to General Boisdeffre without receiving any replies.

Du Paty declared: " They are from Matthew Dreyfus "; Bertillon said: " It is the writing of the bordereau.

Gonse, Henry, Lauth, Du Paty de Clam, were all present ; the last, although having nothing to do with the Intelligence Office, had been summoned to it as the principal worker in the condemnation of Dreyfus, and as interested therefore more than any one in maintaining it.

At the Staff Office Henry and Du Paty, understanding at once the wishes of Boisdeffre and of Gonse, resolved to join forces with Esterhazy.

There, while Henry ( fearing, as he said, recognition by his former comrade ) kept watch, Du Paty, who was also disguised, told Esterhazy that he was known to be innocent, and that he would be defended on condition that he conformed rigorously to the instructions that would be given to him.

Every evening from this time on Gribelin brought to him at the Military Club the program for the next day ; Du Paty and Henry, whose connection with the affair Esterhazy soon knew, saw him several times, sometimes at the Montmartre cemetery, sometimes on the Pont d ' Alexandre III.

Du Paty writes to Esterhazy: " The experts have been appointed.

" Gathering together with the prophetic imagination of the novelist all the details of a story of which up to then the outlines had hardly been discerned, he threw into relief, not without a good deal of exaggeration, the " diabolical rôle " of Colonel Du Paty.

Then I spoke at the ninetieth birthday party of W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, who embarked on a fictional trilogy at eighty-nine and who, with The Crisis, had created a Negro intelligentsia that had never existed in America before him.

The Fisher Body division, long controlled by the Fisher brothers under a voting trust even though General Motors owned a majority of its stock, followed an independent course for many years, but by 1947 and 1948 `` resistance had collapsed '' and its purchases from Du Pont `` compared favorably '' with purchases by other General Motors divisions.

This, however, did not bar finding that Du Pont had become pre-eminent as a supplier of automotive fabrics and finishes to General Motors ; ;

At the outset, the Government's spokesman explained that counsel for the Government and for Du Pont had already held preliminary discussions with a view to arriving at a relief plan that both sides could recommend to the court.

Du Pont, he said, had proposed disenfranchisement of its General Motors stock along with other restrictions on the Du Pont - General Motors relationship.

The Government, deeming these suggestions inadequate, had urged that any judgment include divestiture of Du Pont's shares of General Motors.

For many years the Northwest Company had its southern headquarters at Prairie Du Chien on the Mississippi River, some 300 miles southeast of present-day St. Paul, Minnesota.

Although Captain Du Petit Thouars had lost both legs and an arm he remained in command, insisting on having the tricolour nailed to the mast to prevent it from being struck and giving orders from his position propped up on deck in a bucket of wheat.

However the dismasted Tonnant, Commodore Du Petit Thouars now dead from his wounds and thrown overboard at his own request, was unable to make the required speed and was driven ashore by its crew, while Timoléon was too far south to escape with Villeneuve and in attempting to join the survivors had also grounded on the shoal.

De Fer in turn had copied images that were first printed in books by Louis Hennepin, published in 1697, and François Du Creux, in 1664.

There had also been other instances of disobedience prior to this, according to the official Du Parcq report into the incident such as a model prisoner attacking a popular guard with a razor blade and rough treatment of a prisoner being removed to solitary.

" These utterances were sometimes accompanied by the gift of interpretation exercised, in Du Bois ' experience, by the same person who had spoken in tongues.

Du Pont was living in the United States at the time and had close ties to Jefferson as well as the prominent politicians in France.

The following year, in preparation for the Salon de la Section d ' Or, Metzinger and Gleizes wrote and published Du " Cubisme " in an effort to dispel the confusion raging around the word, and as a major defence of Cubism ( which had caused a public scandal following the 1911 Salon des Indépendants and the 1912 Salon d ' Automne in Paris ).

The fact that the 1912 exhibition had been curated to show the successive stages through which Cubism had transited, and that Du " Cubisme " had been published for the occasion, indicates the artists ' intention of making their work comprehensible to a wide audience ( art critics, art collectors, art dealers and the general public ).

The centrality of a father in this novel matches Balzac's own position – not only as mentor to his troubled young secretary, Jules Sandeau, but also the fact that he had ( most likely ) fathered a child, Marie-Caroline, with his otherwise-married lover, Maria Du Fresnay.

In ancient China there was Sunshu Ao ( 6th century BC ), Ximen Bao ( 5th century BC ), Du Shi ( circa 31 AD ), Zhang Heng ( 78-139 AD ), and Ma Jun ( 200-265 AD ), while medieval China had Su Song ( 1020-1101 AD ) and Shen Kuo ( 1031 – 1095 ).

The Eye of Providence had been a well-known classical symbol of the deity since at least the Renaissance, which Du Simitiere was familiar with.

Of the four men whose ideas were adopted, neither Charles Thomson, Pierre Du Simitière nor William Barton were Masons and, while Francis Hopkinson has been alleged to have had Masonic connections, there is no firm evidence to support the claim.
