cowardly surrender of the bishop, and woe" signed "for Cadière, the Carmelite brother and honest:" to terror, it could listen to witnesses, two first, respectable and selected. The Guiol known supplier of women for Girard, clever and sharp tongue, was appointed to cast the first stone, and open the scourge of libel. The Lauger, the little seamstress and had Cadière that he had paid internship. Girard's pregnant, she had cried out against, here this guilt washed [...] muddying his benefactor, but awkwardly, then came to be shameless [...] [..] the Girardin [Girard women] as they called Toulon. "
ahead with threats and blackmail market consciences buggy. The Jesuits in trouble 'they asked' top ': Paris feared, its courts, and obtained the Provence that parliament would help the worthy sons of St. Ignatius. The Cadière entrusted to Ursuline, locked in the "cell a nun mad that messy. He slept in the straw of this crazy, scary in that smell [...] They gave her nurse and caretaker for the damned soul of Girard, a conversation, the daughter of one who had granted Guiol, fully worthy of his mother, able actions left "
The method still brisk at full capacity: who was going to testify the truth, then against Girard, was threatened, bought, seized, removed. Thus it was for religious, although threatened by the corrupt father Aubany to processing them, and then tortured, only three out of fifteen had declared for Girard, "all listed facts that [...] ruined without appeal." But here's the stroke of genius:
"The Jesuits took a desperate decision to make heroic witnesses. They can be installed in a room of passage leading to the court. There, they stopped, bribed, threatened them, and if they were against Girard, they did not enter, and by force, impudent, put them at the door [...] Thus, the ecclesiastical judge and lieutenant were now only puppets in the hands of the Jesuits. "
The poor girl repeated the truth in his" overwhelming evidence ". I learned Jesuits "were so furious that he was sorry not to have to Toulon the Executioner and the 'issue' [of torture]" to her sing a bit. " It was the last ratio. It adds a frieze Michelet Christian civilization to which admitted the torture: "The parliament is used throughout the century. I have before me a fervent praise of torture, written in 1780 by a clever parliamentary ["Muyart de Vouglans," Lois criminelles "] became a member of the Grand Council, dedicated to the king (Louis XVI), and crowned with a flattering approval of Her Holiness, Pope Pius VI. "
There is torture? Do not worry: there's the ardent wine, there are drugs: the Guiol use the combination, spread by false flattery and convincing threats, drunk weakened the innocent. The effect continued for several days allowed to use Cadière "So that it could not retract the recantation." Ut erat in votis, the helpless victim overturned the previous false statements and made an 'apologist for Girard. " Without the famous inquisitors grasp the strangeness of the psychic state of the young:
"The show unique, shameful for a girl drunk, do not surprise them warns. The do say that Girard has never touched, that she has never felt pleasure or pain, that everything he heard the result of an illness. They were the Carmelites and his brothers to tell them as a reality than it was a dream. Not satisfied with exonerating Girard, blames her, and puts them ruin the rope around his neck "(p. 295).
Before the evaporating effect of the potion, it was provided to give you other potions, "which had no consciousness or memory." At this time, six days from February 28 to 5 / 6 March, "is the disconcerting fact, impossible sooner or later. So disgusting and sad for the poor Cadière, which are told in three lines, neither she nor her brother if they feel they say more. Would not have spoken if the brothers ever, prosecuted too, had not seen that he would lose their lives. "
What is that disgusting? Simple, such as cleaning of any decency, "Girard went from Cadière. He took up her, still defiant, obscene freedom. " Narrow interval between two impossibilities: first, coinciding with the period of maximum alert for Girard, six days before the cursed. In them, "Girard was intimidated, humiliated, always fought in the war of the witnesses who moved to Cadière. The second starts from March 10, "the day she came to herself, and left the convent where he held her. He saw her only in these five days, when he was still master of her, and the poor, under the action of the poison was no longer herself. " It was full of evil, the unfortunate, and I suffered a lot. Among them, a hernia, "at times very painful," provocatale convulsions, and placed in the private parts. "The proof that Girard was not a random crime, but wicked, wicked one, intent only on profit staff, provides the use of this" scourge "said:" He thought that if he had used, humiliated in the eyes of itself, does not he would have never raised again, would not have had the courage and the courage to retract the recantation. " And here is the monument of the most lurid human cowardice bring up in the process, quest'ernia, "joked rake, and came [...] all'indegnità to bring his hand." Just a fleeting nod to his brother, in the process, "with shame" From her, a monosyllabic answer to the question of the court: "Yes." The threat of torture is always in action, a reminder to any reiterated hesitation: "The charity said the commissioners that torture was available nearby. They explained that the wedges were tight bones, easels, bits of iron. " The unfortunate "was so weak that the body lacked the courage. Bear to come face to face with his cruel master, who could laugh and triumph, having degraded in the body, but especially in the consciousness, making his killer. "
The miserable league of the" powers that be "produced the triumph of Girard and perdition transformed the holy by the holders of those same powers in satanic creature, plaything of the worst calumnies. But he could not prevent a surge of human sympathy which brought difficulties in the perverse machinations of those powers. The company, in its various layers, became interested in the case: "Everyone had pity. There are two brave Aubin, attorney, and Claret, notary, certify that the retraction of the retraction, a document in which she tells the terrible threat of Commissioners and the superior of the Ursulines, mainly because of the poisoned wine that was forced to drink " . He was sent "to the minister of justice" an appeal that documented a monstrous "abuse of ecclesiastical authority": "Willful violations of the law" by all the evil intriguers invested in the process: Judge Bishop's lieutenants, commissioners. But the Keeper of Aguesseau, mediocre by Pilate, to trim the burning matter to the parliament of Aix, who had revealed the same Hookshot docile instrument in the hands of the Jesuits. And continues the ordeal of the martyr: mounted police for the transfer, as it was a robber and not a vigorous weakens ill unable to stand. Hospitality, still guaranteed by the Ursulines of Aix: "There he showed the ferocity of the women when they lose s'esaltano and nature of women." Thus, the indignation of Michelet. The superior gave the unfortunate "four hours of shame" in front of the dog hired scoundrels, "the people of the Jesuits, the brave workers of the clergy ...". Even an honest man trying to recover justice and mercy, the lawyer Chaudon, but in vain. Trying to negotiate with devils Jesuits, but devils, of very real flesh and not of sick fantasy, refused the offer. "Then he showed what he was, a man of steadfast honesty, courage admirable. Expounded by learned jurist, the monstrosity of the procedures. Meant to always fail with the parliament as with the Jesuits. Determine precisely the incest of spiritual confessor, but for modesty, does not specify how far was joint laxity. It also forbade the speaking of the 'Girardin', devotees of the pregnant "from that profusore semen," the fact that everyone knew very well, but that did not want to testify "
Unfortunately, he committed an error: Girard attacked as a sorcerer. And the public took a popular joke. Useless mobilized its sacred texts as proof of the devil and his interventions in human filth. "And they laughed even harder." Intellectuals, philosophers, including the libertine, not snubbed the wonderful opportunity: you enjoyed this "scenic" brawl between Jansenists and Jesuits, and quite a few 'days of standing there not the unfortunate victim of pestiferous loyolani (p. 300). But when it was given to the young this little 'bit of punishment: "That Cadière before putting the question [torture] ordinary and extraordinary, were then brought to Toulon, and the square of Prêcheurs, hanged and strangled [.. .] the mundane, the libertines laughed no more; quivered. They were not flashy enough to be passed on to such an atrocity. " And moving large popular demonstrations in defense of Cadière, but in the end only had the effect of delaying the resurrection of the case of Girard. "Cardinal Fleury content with the Jesuits in all respects. In Aix, Toulon and Marseille, exiled, banished, put in prison. Toulon was especially guilty have put the portrait of Girard on the doors of "Girardin and carried in procession to the sacred three-cornered hat of the Jesuits." And poor Cadière that end did he do? "The Cadière should, according to the ruling, be able to come back, given back to the mother. I would venture to say that never allowed her to set foot on hot scene of his hometown, who had declared so proudly for her. What did they do? So far, nobody could know. "Michelet's hypothesis is so sad how believable the Jesuits" would have expected that people would be distracted, thinking about anything else. Then the claw, the claw will, immersed, lost in some unknown convent extinguished in a peacefully. He was only twenty-one years at the time of the award, and had always hoped to live a little. God has made him a pardon. "(P.307). It regrets, Michelet (and we with him), that Voltaire has proved to be "very superficial on this matter. Ride of one and the others especially the Jansenists. As for the historical Cabasse, Fabre, Méry, who "have not read the Proces [..] are believed impartial and crush the victim" (Text used for this "expansion" of history: Jules Michelet, The Witch, Bur, 1977, Introduction to Franco Fortini, translation and notes by Paola and Massimo Cusumano Parizzi).
