<\/p>\r\n

On ne sait pas grand chose sur la Dame blanche, \u00ab brune d’ailleurs charmante de visage et de caract\u00e8re \u00bb (Charles Chincholle<\/a>, \u00ab La journ\u00e9e \u00e0 Rennes \u00bb, Le Figaro<\/em>, 10 ao\u00fbt 1899<\/a>). Elle ne fut ni madame Lefebvre, ni madame Darthon \u2013 comme le propos\u00e8rent quelques journaux aux premiers jours du proc\u00e8s de Rennes ; elle ne fut pas plus madame de Jouffroy d’Abbans<\/a> \u2013 comme le crut la presse en 1914 (presse du 28 mai-2 juin) qui confondit \u00ab dame blanche \u00bb et \u00ab dame\u00a0 voil\u00e9e \u00bb<\/a> et, apr\u00e8s elle, Pierre-Victor Stock<\/a> (Stock, p. 242) \u2013 et moins encore le P\u00e8re Du Lac<\/a> \u2013 comme s’\u00e9tait amus\u00e9 Maurice Spronck<\/a> (\u00ab Au jour le jour. La dame blanche et les hommes noirs \u00bb, Journal des D\u00e9bats<\/em>, 11 ao\u00fbt 1899<\/a>).
La Dame blanche \u00e9tait Am\u00e9lie Darthout, peut-\u00eatre n\u00e9e le 29 septembre 1862 et morte apr\u00e8s 1930. Cette Dame blanche n’eut aucun r\u00f4le dans l’Affaire mais elle s’y fit une vraie c\u00e9l\u00e9brit\u00e9 en \u00e9tant pr\u00e9sente \u00e0 tous ses grands moments, habill\u00e9e de blanc : proc\u00e8s Esterhazy<\/a>, proc\u00e8s Zola de Paris et de Versailles<\/a>, s\u00e9ances de la Cour de cassation<\/a>, proc\u00e8s de Rennes<\/a>, obs\u00e8ques d’\u00c9mile Zola<\/a>. Intrigante pour cela et aussi parce qu’\u00e0 Rennes, o\u00f9 elle arbora pendant quelques jours un inattendu chemisier rose, elle avait pris place, aux premiers jours, sur l’estrade, derri\u00e8re le colonel Jouaust<\/a>. Prot\u00e9g\u00e9e du g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Galliffet<\/a> ? C’est ce que pensait la presse (presse des 9-14 ao\u00fbt 1899). Elle \u00ab aurait appartenu au th\u00e9\u00e2tre, para\u00eet-il, [et] est fort riche ; jolie mais d’un \u00e2ge d\u00e9j\u00e0 m\u00fbr ; elle m\u00e8ne la vie grand train ; elle ne manque jamais une premi\u00e8re \u00bb… et surtout est une \u00ab dreyfusarde acharn\u00e9e \u00bb (\u00ab La v\u00e9rit\u00e9 sur la Dame blanche \u00bb, La Libre Parole<\/em>, 11 ao\u00fbt 1899<\/a>) qui signa la protestation en faveur de Picquart<\/a> (3e<\/sup> liste), participa \u00e0 la\u00a0souscription \u00ab\u00a0pour propager la v\u00e9rit\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb<\/a> (2e<\/sup> liste de L’Aurore<\/em>) et au monument Zola<\/a> (7e<\/sup> liste de la\u00a0Ligue des Droits de l\u2019Homme<\/a>). \u00c0 Jean-Bernard, elle racontera l’histoire de sa \u00ab conversion \u00bb :<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

[…] au d\u00e9but je croyais \u00e0 la culpabilit\u00e9 de Dreyfus. Tout m’y pr\u00e9disposait : mon milieu, mes relations, mes sentiments personnels et mes id\u00e9es qui me faisaient trouver plaisir aux quotidiennes lectures de la Libre Parole<\/em><\/a>. Un jour, en 1897, j’ai eu une affaire priv\u00e9e, j’ai \u00e9t\u00e9 la victime de lettres anonymes ; je m’adressai \u00e0 la Pr\u00e9fecture de Police qui, avec beaucoup d’habilet\u00e9, trouva l’auteur de ces ignominies. C’\u00e9tait une personne du monde. Et comme je m’\u00e9tonnais que cet auteur fut un homme ayant une situation, le fonctionnaire me r\u00e9pondit : \u00ab Oh ! il ne faut pas que cela vous surprenne ; c’est tr\u00e8s commun \u00bb. Et il me raconta tout au long l’histoire des lettres de Mlle de Comminges<\/a>, du colonel du Paty de Clam<\/a>, de la remise par une dame voil\u00e9e qui n’\u00e9tait autre que le colonel, etc.
Quand arriva l’affaire Esterhazy<\/a>, que je vis la \u00ab dame voil\u00e9e \u00bb appara\u00eetre, tout comme dans l’affaire de Comminges, des doutes graves me vinrent sur la sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9 de l’organisateur de l’affaire Dreyfus ; c’\u00e9tait pour moi le voile qui commen\u00e7ait \u00e0 se d\u00e9chirer. Je suivis les enqu\u00eates, j’assistai aux proc\u00e8s, \u00e0 celui d’Esterhazy (le peu de temps que le huis clos ne fut pas prononc\u00e9). Puis, peu \u00e0 peu, cela m’int\u00e9ressa extraordinairement. Je voulus \u00eatre au proc\u00e8s Zola ; je n’ai pas manqu\u00e9 une audience. Je n’ai pas besoin de vous dire que je ne tardai pas \u2013 comme tous les gens de bonne foi \u2013\u00a0 \u00e0 \u00eatre convaincue de l’innocence de Dreyfus. Alors, je me suis passionn\u00e9e pour la cause du \u00ab martyr \u00bb, j’ai suivi les proc\u00e8s annexes, comme celui des Ligues<\/a>, de Picquart<\/a>, d’Urbain Gohie<\/a>r, etc… (Jean-Bernard, Le Proc\u00e8s de Rennes. 1899 (impressions d’un spectateur), Paris, Lemerre, 1900, p. 342-344).<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Nous perdons ensuite toute trace d’elle pour la retrouver en 1913 dans une petite histoire \u00e0 vrai dire sans grand int\u00e9r\u00eat : Georges Bourdon<\/a>, dreyfusard, membre d\u00e9vou\u00e9 et actif de la Ligue fran\u00e7aise pour la d\u00e9fense des droits de l\u2019homme et du citoyen, venant d’\u00eatre d\u00e9cor\u00e9 de la L\u00e9gion d’Honneur, elle \u00e9crivit au grand chancelier de la L\u00e9gion d’honneur pour s’offusquer qu’on p\u00fbt d\u00e9corer un homme qui lui avait emprunt\u00e9 une forte somme, \u00ab monney[ant] ses amours \u00bb… une histoire que s’empressa de relayer L’Action fran\u00e7aise<\/em><\/a> (12 ao\u00fbt 1913<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
