After this formality Saniel began his report: "We, the undersigned, Victor Saniel, doctor of medicine of the Paris Faculty, residing in Paris in the Rue Louis-le-Grand, after having taken an oath to fulfil in all honor and conscience the mission confided to us " All the time that he was writing he paid attention to everything that was said, and did not lose one word of the concierge's deposition.
