Ordre des avocats de Paris . 1918. Pencil and ink drawings.
Sem attended the hearing when Bolo pacha was tried by the Council of war. The spy was condemned to death and shot for treason. Lieutenant Mornet was prosecuting counsel, as he had been against Mata-Hari and would be later against Maréchal Pétain. Sem did lots of sketches to convey his great oratory talents..
