[Footnote 3189: Sicard, 86, 87, 101.--Jourdan, 123. "The president of
the committee of supervision replied to me that these were very honest
persons; that on the previous evening or the evening before that, one
of them, in a shirt and wooden shoes, presented himself before
their committee all covered with blood, bringing with him in his hat
twenty-five louis in gold, which he had found on the person of a man
he had killed."--Another instance of probity may be found in the
"Proces-verbaux du conseil-general de la Commune de Versailles," 367,
371.--On the following day, Sept. 3, robberies commence and go on
increasing.]

[Footnote 3190: Mehee, 179. "'Would you believe that I have earned only
twenty-four francs?' said a baker's boy armed with a club. 'I killed
more than forty for my share.'"]

[Footnote 3197: Moore, 267.--Cf. Malouet, II. 240. Malouet, on the
evening of Sept. 1, was at his sister-in-law's; there is a domiciliary
visit at midnight; she faints on hearing the patrol mount the stairs. "I
begged them not to enter the drawing-room, so as not to disturb the poor
sufferer. The sight of a woman in a swoon and pleasing in appearance
affected them, and they at once withdrew, leaving me alone with
her."--Beaulieu, "Essais," I. 108. (Regarding the two Abbaye butchers
he meets in the house of Journiac-de-Saint-Meard, and who chat with him
while issuing him with a safe-conduct): "What struck me was to detect
generous sentiments through their ferocity, those of men determined to
protect any one whose cause they adopted."]
