[of] innocence was stifled; virtue violated, nature defiled; and the disgusting veil of crime was thrown over the sacred statue of liberty. For the sake of their passions, these immoral beings sacrificed honor and integrity. They were speaking of patriotism while suffocating its most precious seed; terror preceded them and tyranny rode among them. If casting a look into their private lives, one will see Goullin tyrannically commanding his colleagues and forcing them to agree with all of his cruelty suggested. We will hear him answer an unhappy wife who was asking for news of her husband: “What does it matter? The quicker he dies, the quicker we will get his property.” We will see Chaux in the district, intimidating those who appear to be his competitors, and ensuring that the farm of de la Barossiere and land were adjudicated to him; we will hear him saying, about a place that suited him, “I know a way for me to get my hands on it. I will have the owner arrested, who in order to get out of prison, will be happy to hand over his land.” Grandmaison was an assassin before the Revolution; he mistreated the victims he incarcerated; he claimed for himself the silverware that was impounded; he oversaw drownings and signed death penalty orders.

Pinard was the main supplier, he conducted countryside expeditions, he pillaged, stole without impunity, and made sure that everything they might need for their houses be brought to each member of the committee. Furthermore, he assassinated everyone in his path. Men, women, children, no one could escape his murderous rage.
