ref. 021082[Procès pour meurtre, Henri-Robert] un ironiste. L.A.S. « un ironiste », 15 janvier 1902, 2p 1/2 in-8. A l'écrivain Maurice Donnay (1859-1945), probablement suite à un article. Belle lettre à entête « C.L. », malheureusement anonyme, d'une personne très informée sur les raisons de l'acquittement de Maurice Martin, assassin de la danseuse Alice Alix, de son vrai nom Elisabeth Grielens. « Le malheur voulut qu'il y eût ce jour-là une majorité d'hommes non mariés et "collés", que les paroles du ministère public blessèrent vivement. Et la délibération porta uniquement sur ce point : parallèle entre le mariage et l'union libre. Voilà pourquoi Martin a été acquitté ». Martin et Alice s'étaient rencontrés en août 1900 et s'étaient installés ensemble. Elle le quitte pour s'installer dans un appartement avec un autre amant. Lui annonçant la rupture le 22 septembre 1901, il la tue. Il sera défendu par Henri-Robert et acquitté le 9 janvier 1902. Belle lettre que l'on peut penser provenir d'un des jurés. [516]
