- Four witnesses, three of your fellow former prisoners and a former guard of the prison, Inspector Javert, have identified you as the convicted felon and fugitive, Jean Valjean, wanted for the theft of 40 sous from a child named Petit Gervais and for fleeing justice ever since.
(crowd murmuring) Stand up.
Are you the felon, Jean Valjean?
- My name is Champmathieu.
I come from Paris.
I used to be a wheelwright there for Monsieur Baloup, 20 years, you can ask him, he'll tell you.
- Unfortunately, it has proved impossible to locate this Monsieur Baloup.
Have you anything to say to the court that may help your defense?
