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.

Du Paty had flattered himself that the culprit, on recognizing the words, would confess ; a loaded revolver lay on a table to allow him to execute justice upon himself.

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 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.

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.

Loneliness tore through him like a physical pain whenever he thought of Peter Robert, Nerien, Nicholas Cop, Martin Bucer, and even the compromising Louis Du Tillet.

A former Du Pont official became a General Motors vice president and set about maximizing Du Pont's share of the General Motors market.

Lines of communications were established between the two companies and several Du Pont products were actively promoted.

Within a few years various Du Pont manufactured items were filling the entire requirements of from four to seven of General Motors' eight operating divisions.

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.

Competitors came to receive higher percentage of General Motors business in later years, but it is `` likely '' that this trend stemmed `` at least in part '' from the needs of General Motors outstripping Du Pont's capacity.

The fact that sticks out in this voluminous record is that the bulk of Du Pont's production has always supplied the largest part of the requirements of the one customer in the automobile industry connected to Du Pont by a stock interest.

The inference is overwhelming that Du Pont's commanding position was promoted by its stock interest and was not gained solely on competitive merit ''.

This Court agreed with the trial court `` that considerations of price, quality and service were not overlooked by either Du Pont or General Motors ''.

However, it determined that neither this factor, nor `` the fact that all concerned in high executive posts in both companies acted honorably and fairly, each in the honest conviction that his actions were in the best interests of his own company and without any design to overreach anyone, including Du Pont's competitors '', outweighed the Government's claim for relief.

Indeed, as already noted, the Court proceeded on the assumption that the executives involved in the dealings between Du Pont and General Motors acted `` honorably and fairly '' and exercised their business judgment only to serve what they deemed the best interests of their own companies.

The first pretrial conference -- held to appoint amici curiae to represent the interest of the stockholders of Du Pont and General Motors and to consider the procedure to be followed in the subsequent hearings -- took place on September 25, 1957.

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.

Counsel for the Government invited Du Pont's views on this proposal before recommending a specific program, but stated that if the court desired, or if counsel for Du Pont thought further discussion would not be profitable, the Government was prepared to submit a plan within thirty days.

Counsel for Du Pont indicated a preference for the submission of detailed plans by both sides at an early date.

The plan called for divestiture by Du Pont of its 63,000,000 shares of General Motors stock by equal annual distributions to its stockholders, as a dividend, over a period of ten years.

Christiana Securities Company and Delaware Realty & Investment Company, major stockholders in Du Pont, and the stockholders of Delaware were dealt with specially by provisions requiring the annual sale by a trustee, again over a ten-year period, of Du Pont's General Motors stock allocable to them, as well as any General Motors stock which Christiana and Delaware owned outright.
