Sit there,
gpt
What is your name?
human
I don't care to give my name,
gpt
Why not?
human
That's my affair.
gpt
Is your name Adolf Groener?
human
No.
gpt
Are you a wood carver?
human
No.
gpt
Have you recently been disguised as a wood carver?
human
No.
gpt
Groener, you are lying and I'll prove it shortly. Tell me, first, if you have money to employ a lawyer?
human
Possibly, but I wish no lawyer.
gpt
That is not the question. You are under suspicion of having committed a crime and----
human
What crime?
gpt
Murder, said the judge; then impressively, after a pause:
human
We have reason to think that you shot the billiard player, Martinez.
gpt
Martinez? echoed the prisoner indifferently.
human
I never heard of him.
gpt
Ah! You'll hear enough of him before you get through, nodded Hauteville grimly.
human
The law requires that a prisoner have the advantage of counsel during examination. So I ask if you will provide a lawyer?
gpt
No,
human
Then the court will assign a lawyer for your defense. Ask Maître Curé to come in,
gpt
It's quite useless, shrugged the prisoner with careless arrogance,
human
I will have nothing to do with Maître Curé.
gpt
I warn you, Groener, in your own interest, to drop this offensive tone.
human
Ta, ta, ta! I'll take what tone I please. And I'll answer your questions as I please or--or not at all.
