Demange Speech Affects Dreyfus Case In Rennes
The Rennes crowd packed the Lycee for the Dreyfus trial as Maitre Demange argued against Esterhazy with a dramatic delivery. Dreyfus appeared calm, Lahori and Demange clashed on methods, and verdicts were deferred to Monday with Labori abstaining to avoid arousing the judges. Max Regis, ex-mayor of Algiers, stirred tensions among anti-Dreyfusards. The open letter Regis sent to Premier Waldeck-Rousseau warned of calm but vowed resistance if arrests occurred.
