Dreyfus Convicted

December 22, 1894

A French military tribunal met behind closed doors and unanimously convicted Captain Alfred Dreyfus of treason. On January 5 he would be publicly degraded in the courtyard of the Ecole Militaire, his sword broken, his insignia torn off. Shouts of "Death to the Jew!" came from the crowd. He was shipped to Devil's Island to serve a life sentence.
