Is said that every bit of evidence in
the case will be brought out, whether
it resulted in the freeing Of Dreyfus
or the d~isgracing of the army and the
removal and Imprisonment of its
highest officers. Justice is wanted
and the court is determined TO see
1t melted out to the innocent and
guilty, The world believes in Drev.
rus innocence and from the way the
tlrst trial was conducted. this belief
grew stronger, but had it not been
for the injnSticeS done him, and the
inhuman treatment. the cause of
Dreyfus would have never been re.

the people.
