Delattre, who continued to plead professional secrecy and refused to give evidence, nevertheless confessed to his intimate friends who lost no time in blabbing that he really had been taken to a crypt to attend a wounded man whom his confederates introduced to him by the name of Arsene Lupin.
The doctor rose and went with the commissary. At the end of the performance, he had not returned. Mme. Delattre, greatly alarmed, drove to the office of the commissary of police. There she found the real M. Thezard and discovered, to her great terror, that the individual who had carried off her husband was an impostor.
At the moment of going to press, we have received an item of news which we dare not guarantee as authentic, because of its very improbable character. We print it, therefore, with all reserve. Yesterday evening, Dr. Delattre, the well-known surgeon, was present, with his wife and daughter, at the performance of Hernani at the Comedie Francaise.
Delattre was brought back to 78, Rue Duret, at nine o'clock this morning, in a motor car which drove away immediately at full speed. No. 78, Rue Duret, is the address of Dr. Delattre's clinical surgery, at which he arrives every morning at the same hour. When we sent in our card, the doctor, though closeted with the chief of the detective service, was good enough to consent to receive us.
At the commencement of the third act, that is to say, at about ten o'clock, the door of his box opened and a gentleman, accompanied by two others, leaned over to the doctor and said to him, in a low voice, but loud enough for Mme. Delattre to hear: "Doctor, I have a very painful task to fulfil and I shall be very grateful to you if you will make it as easy for me as you can." "Who are you, sir?"
Delattre declares " "Ah, that's just it!" cried Beautrelet, in a tone of conviction. "It is just because Dr. Delattre declares that we mustn't believe him. Why, Dr. Delattre refused to give any but the vaguest details concerning his adventure! He refused to say anything that might compromise his patient's safety! And suddenly he calls attention to an inn!
If I do not keep silence, this sum will be taken from me." "You are joking! Do you believe that?" "Indeed I do. The men all struck me as being very much in earnest." This is the statement made to us by Dr. Delattre.
