Three Dreyfus Case Points Highlight Partiality and Refusal
Rennes Aug 22 three points stood out in yesterday's Dreyfus proceedings. Jouaust showed partiality by uttering encore while Piequart spoke and the court reacted with impatience. Piequart defended justice in a bold calm manner while Juncek, a contemptible witness, repeated confidences and impaired the testimony's value. Dreyfus shifted to a calmer defense and answered at length, leaving judges and press attentive to the evolving trial.
