He, who once wrote poignant letters from a cell, now sits quietly in his big study and writes and writes — what? Perhaps nobody will know until after his death. Accused as Traitor Remember his story? He was convicted by a military court-martial of the crime of telling French military secrets to the Germans. He was a captain attached to staff. He came of a well-to-do Alsatian family and there was no financial reason for him to betray his country. On January 4, 1895, he was publicly degraded.

the real traitors and showed how he had been made the scapegoat to cover their sins. Anew court martial brought in the remarkable verdict that ho was guilty “with extenuating circumstances.” He was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Reinstated and Promoted But President Laubet granted him a pardon and in 1906 the highest court in France declared him innocent. He was restored to the army and advanced the rank of major. During the war he was with the artillery and served at the front. His son, during - wartime, entered the army as a private and came out a captain. His nephew got the Croix de Guerre and was killed.

He’s had enough publicity to satisfy him for several lives. But the concierge of the building is not quite so mute. The concierge knows all the comings and goings. “Ah,” said she, “I could have told you you would waste your time and a calling card. Colonel Dreyfus never receives reporters. Sad? Le Colonel Dreyfus? Mais non, He is gay. He is happy in his home, happy with his beautiful wife, happy at the married happiness of his son,
