Dreyfus Revision Case Opens in Paris Court of Cassation
Paris special reports the public hearing of the Dreyfus revision case before the Court of Cassation began Tuesday. Vallot-Beaupres' report favors revision, while Dreyfusites grumble that it stops short of quashing the case and anti-Dreyfusites protest. Only about 100 people attended as precautions were taken against disorder. Some doubt lingers over the court’s final decision, and if revision is approved Dreyfus will be moved to a remote garrison town and retired.
