In his lecture at the hospital, his eloquence and his clear demonstration convinced the judges who were opposed to him that he was in the right. What could Caffie's death weigh, placed in the balance with these results?
With rapid but light steps he mounted behind her, and, on reaching Caffie's door, he rang the bell, taking care not to ring too loudly or too timidly; then he knocked three times, as Caffie had instructed him. Was Caffie alone? Up to this time all had gone as he wished; no one in the vestibule, no one on the stairs; fate was in his favor; would it accompany him to the end?
To have made himself unrecognizable was, without doubt, a safe precaution; but having started on this course, he would not be easy until he had destroyed all traces of himself in such a way that Madame Dammauville would never be able to find the man that she had seen so clearly under Caffie's lamp.
A man who had received the force of this shower could not appear in the street before Caffie's door without attracting the attention of the passers-by, and it was important for him that he should not attract the attention of any one. At length the rain ceased, and at twenty minutes of five he reached his home. There remained fifteen or twenty minutes of daylight, which was more than he needed.
With rapid but light steps he mounted behind her, and, on reaching Caffie's door, he rang the bell, taking care not to ring too loudly or too timidly; then he knocked three times, as Caffie had instructed him.

He started to go upstairs, accompanied by the concierge, the locksmith, and one of the policemen; Saniel wished to follow them, but the other policeman barred the way. "Pardon, Monsieur Commissioner," Saniel said. "What do you wish, sir?" "I am Monsieur Caffie's physician." "Your name?" "Doctor Saniel." "Let the doctor pass," the commissioner said, "but alone.
Also, it was not only to save Caffie's life that he argued, it was to save himself in grasping this loan. "I can only, to my great regret, repeat to you what I have already said, my dear sir. I have no ready money." And he held his jaw, groaning, as if this refusal aroused his toothache. Saniel rose; evidently there was nothing for him to do but to go.
After having questioned and cross-questioned the concierge without being able to make her say more, the commissioner dismissed her, and leaving Saniel at his work, he passed into Caffie's office, where he remained a long time. When he returned he brought a small note-book that he consulted.
When I arrived, the old woman took both of my hands, and told me that she would conduct me immediately to a lady who saw Caffie's assassin." "Saw him!" exclaimed Saniel, struck by a blow that shook him from head to foot. "She saw him perfectly, as I tell you.
Because I need not tell you that I know beforehand what his reply will be to my request for a loan he could find no one." "I shall come, all the same, to-morrow evening to learn his answer." Although Saniel did not build any false hopes on Caffie's reply, he went to see him the next afternoon at the same hour. As before, he waited some time after ringing the bell.
