There is no doubt that a huge organization is behind all the proceedings, that is, in my case, behind this arrest and behind today's proceedings. This organization has at its disposal not only corrupt guards, stupid inspectors and investigators, showing at best commendable modesty, but it also includes judges of high and highest rank with the innumerable staff of servants, scribes, gendarmes and other assistants, which is inevitable in such cases. ...
