Died. Lieut.-Colonel Alfred Dreyfus, retired, 75, protagonist of France's most notorious cause celeebre; after long illness (uremia); in Paris. In 1894 Captain Dreyfus, 35, first Jew on the French General Staff, was arrested on a charge of selling military secrets to Germany. Court-martialed, he was convicted of high treason on the basis of a secret dossier, which was later proved a forgery, and other scant evidence including the testimony of famed Handwriting Expert Alphonse Bertillon. Publicly degraded, Dreyfus was sentenced to Devil's Island for life. When it became apparent that Dreyfus had been shamelessly railroaded, Novelist Emile Zola, backed by Clemenceau and Anatole France, wrote his celebrated J'accuse, an open letter to the President of the Republic. Tried and convicted for libeling the Army, Zola fled to England. By then I'affaire Dreyfus had aroused world interest, caused a national scandal which split all France into opposing camps, Dreyfusards and Anti-Dreyfusards. After four years of solitary confinement and torture, Captain Dreyfus, white-haired at 39, was brought back from Devil's Island, tried again, re-convicted. Pardoned by the President in 1900, he was completely vindicated in 1906, given the rank of major, the cross of the Legion of Honor. In the World War he rose to brigadier general, served with honor, retired after the Armistice with a lieutenant-colonel's rank and pension.
