Friends Incessant Work.

The friends of this unfortunate captain
were not contented. They kept hard at
work hunting for fresh evidence in his be-
half and finally got the case before the
supreme court.
Maitre Mornand, counsel for Dreyfus, in
presenting his clients case before the SUI
preme court, said Dreyfus did not ask for
damages. He desired only the vindicaton
of his honor and the restoration of his
name to the list of officers of the French
army He gave new phase to the pro-
ceedings by cutting loose from historical
details and asserting that anti-Semitic
hatred had been the primary cause of the
miscarriage of justice. He argued that
Dreyfus had been convicted not as an in
divdual officer, but because he was a Jew
Even before the charge of treason first
arose counsel said anti-Semitism had
reigned supreme not only in military cir
cles but IN the whole of France. The ideal
of the superior officers of that time was
to exclude Hebrews from the higher mill
tary grades.
Finally Maitre Mornard said:
"Dreyfus is ready to bear alone all the
misery and torture of Devils Island If his
country will give him back only one thing
his honor. We renounce then all damages
asking you simply to quash the conviction
without retrial, and ask you to grant this
on behalf of the honor of the French army
and the public conscience of France
