http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/68806258

This signed holograph essay is a defense of Colonel Fumel, accused of murdering a rich and well-connected man named Campagna in Italy. Campagna was one of three hundred thieves captured and executed during the pacification of Calabria, Italy, during the 1860s. Fumel refused to take a bribe to spare the life of Campagna; consequently, he was accused of murder. In this essay, Dumas addresses corruption brought by money and the corrupt nature of government.
