Worcester Hebrews Think Ten Year
Sentence is illogical.

Worcester Hebrews Think Ten Year
Sentence is illogical.
The disposition of the Dreyfus case
caused hundreds of Worcester readers
of The Spy to absorb every bit of news
bearing upon the result of the court
martial yesterday. The action of st.
Louis merchants in declaring a boy
colt on the exposition in Paris is not
likely to be duplicated locally, but
French and Hebrew residents who
have followed the case closely, ex-
pressed mingled dissatisfaction and
surprise at the sentence of ten years
imposed upon Dreyfus.
Max Feiga, one of the best known He
brew residents of the city, talked with
The Spy man yesterday regarding the
Dreyfus affair. He said:
After the attack upon Labori and
the subsequent refusal Of the judges to
grant the defendant d continuance of
the case for As hours, in order that
Counsel Labor might be able to appear,
l had the feeling that there was preju-
dice in the trial.
Il was prepared to hear a verdict Of
guilty. From the Labor incident I'M
til the close of the famous military
trial, it appeared to me that the judges
were only medltating upon the severity
of the sentence. 1t seems that the
judges must have made up their minds
to convict Dreyfus, whether the testi-
mony substantiated it or not. Strong
points brought out by the defense tend
ed to tighten the sentence but acquit-
tai was almost impossible under the
conditions.
I'm France a military trial means
that there is no civil jurisdiction Had
Dreyfus been suspected and tried un-
der the laws of this country, the YER
dict would have been far different. The
Paris exposition is likely to affected
in point of attendance by this case.
Revolutions are apt to spring up in the
excitement of the crowds attending the
exposition.
"A singular fact of the trial is in the
sentence of ten years. The first SEN
tence was for life. If Dreyfus is
guilty, why should the second trial
have resulted in lighter sentence
Had the court ruled Dreyfus guilty
having reached that verdict in a fair
trial, the life sentence should not be
changed. l understand that the trial
cost Dreyfus nearly $1,000 900. This
expense was shared by Hebrews in
Europe. To my knowledge, there have
never been contributions from this
country, although there has always
been a deep interest in the trial"
M. j. A. Favreau, editor of L'Opln-
ion Publique, says: "Since the deci-
sion of the court of cessation, rendered
after the discovery of Fenry's forgery
and, afterwards, Esterhazy's state
ments regarding the bordereau. | ha6
been inclined strongly to favor the pre-.
sumption of innocence. At the present
time, though l have endeavored to sift
the mass of contradictory evidence Of.
fered at the public sessions, and while
take little stock in M. Bertillon's un.
fathomable system, l hardly know my
own mind and would not dare vouch-
safe an opinion without being cognizant
Of the evidence heard behind closed
doors. Yet l am firmly convinced thai
the proceedings have been fair and
above board, whatever Irregularities
might have been committed in the trial
Of 1894"

BERLIN STUPEFIED.
Germans Had Been Confident to the
Last of Acouittal.

Berlin, Sept. 1O-The Dreyfus verdict
caused a feeling almost of stupefaction
in Berlin. 1t had been hoped that the
statement of the Reichs- Anzeiger would
have rendered impossible the repetition
of what is termed "one of the greatest
judicial and political crimes of any
age"
1t is universally agreed that the sec
ond verdict is a grave political blum
der, d violation of the laws of civiliza-
tion and an act of moral cowardice,
which the world will find difficult to
pardon.
Tic German press unanimously de-
clares the verdict cowardly and impoli-
tic, not to say criminal. The Cologne
Gazette says
I'll is q cowardly verdict, in the bar
barous spirit of the ntddle ages. BY
this crime the judges have imposed a
line of demarkation between France
and the rest of the world, which al
though it will not prevent diplomatic
intercourse or stay the common eX-
change of products, will, according to
all the notions of right, justice, honor,
tolerance and ethics, which the civilized
world bears within in the goth cen
fury form a barrier only to be- re-
moved by time and laborious effort"
The other leading journals comment
upon the verdict in similar strains.

RAIN PREVENTS RIOT.

jacques Dreyfus' House.


Jacques Dreyfus' House.
Paris, Sept. 1O.-The day has been one
of absolute quiet with no public ex-
element. There was a rainfall this af-
ternoon and the streets were practically
deserted. Slight disturbances occurred
yesterday at Belfort after the verdict
of the Dreyfus court martial was pub
hshed. The demonstrators stoned the
residence of M. Jacques Dreyfus, bro
ther of the condemned at Befort,
breaking the windows and otherwise
damaging the structure. Many persons
were arrested in the place.
The premier, NJ Wadeck- Rousseau
was visited this morning by most of
his colleagues. The date of the next
cabinet council has not yet been fixed
President Loubet will probably not re-
turn to Rambouillet for several days
Tomorrow Maitre Demange will visit
w aldeck- Rousseau and submit a num-
Der of legal questions arising out of the
trial. A semi-official note has been is
sued, denying the assertion of the
morning papers that the minister of
foreign affairs, M. Delcasse, transmit
ted to Col. Jouaust, through NJ. Paleo-
logue Fridays statement by the Reichs-
Anzeiger repeating the disavowals of
Count Won Monster and Count Won
Buehlow of German relations with
Dreyfus.
The revisionist press is commenting
upon the verdict with great indigna
ton. The Steele has opened a subscrip-
ton to erect an expiatory monument
in front of the palace of justice at
Rennes, to remind future generations
Of this outrage on justice.

Men travelled miles and then stood on
street corners for hours to catch glimpse
of him, and one poor fellow even went so
far as to suffer fatal injuries from being
crushed in the enthusiastic crowd at Mont
pelier. A magnificent train carried the
conquering hero through fairyland of
bunting, where the music of the bands,
the songs of the school children and the
shouts of the populace rolled up avolume
of noise that must have made the bonn
bardment at Manila seem in comparison
like the trifing performance of a snare
drum. Thousands of dollars (ten thou
sand in the little state of Vermont alone)
were spent in his honor, to say nothing OF
the gifts which the ration and the common
wealths were delighted to shower upon
him. But
"Needles and pins, needles and pins,
When man marries his trouble begins
The admiral married. Then as mat
ter of precaution or devotion, he trans
ferred his Washington home, the gilt OF
the nation, to Mrs. Dewey, and his star
Immediately swept downward with the
reported velocity of one of those mislald
November meteors. The great American
people were affronted that their gift had
been presented to another, even though
that other was the admirals wife, and Mrs.
Dewey was described as cruel step
mother, seeking to defraud George Good
win of his inheritance to turn it into par
ish house. But when she in turn trans
ferred the property to the admiral's son,
which move was explained as the original
design, the popular indignation was par
TALLY appeased and the agitated in large
numbers began to be conscious of faint
recollection of Manila bay.
The admiral, however, had been injured
and given reason to feel hurt. He sup
posed the house had been presented to
him Internationally to do with as he saw
fit and on account of this rather Inbred
demonstration on the part of the donors
his pleasure in its possession must be here
after slightly marred. An American gen.
tleman, he attempted to act with the liberty
OF one, forgetting that he had been placed
on pedestal and that people on pedestals
occupy rather cramped positions.
Recent occurrences in this country go to
show that heroes who wish to remain the
objects of hero worship should exile them
selves far from home and fight shy even Of
cable communications.
