1:05:01
To demolish Dreyfus once more.
1:05:05
Such, then, Mr. President,
is the simple truth.
1:05:08
It is a fearful truth.
1:05:11
But I affirm, with intense conviction...
1:05:15
...the truth is on the march,
and nothing will stop it.
1:05:21
Mr. President...
1:05:23
...I accuse Colonel Dort of having been
the diabolical agent of the affair...
1:05:28
...and of continuing to defend
his deadly work...
1:05:31
...through three years
of revolting machination.
1:05:34
I accuse the minister of war
of having concealed decisive proofs...
1:05:38
...of the innocence of Dreyfus.
1:05:40
I accuse the chief of staff
and assistant chief of staff...
1:05:43
...of being accomplices in the crime.
1:05:45
I accuse the commander of the Paris
garrison of the most monstrous partiality.
1:05:51
I accuse the war office of having
viciously led a campaign...
1:05:55
...to misdirect public opinion
and cover up its sins.
1:05:58
I accuse the first court-martial
of violating all human rights...
1:06:01
...in condemning a prisoner
on testimony kept secret from him.
1:06:05
And finally...
1:06:07
...I accuse the Esterhazy court-martial...
1:06:10
...of covering up this illegality by order,
thus, in turn...
1:06:13
...committing the judicial crime
of acquitting a guilty man.
1:06:19
In making these accusations,
I am aware that I render myself...
1:06:23
...open to persecution for libel,
but that does not matter.
1:06:29
The action I take is designed
only to hasten...
1:06:32
...the explosion of truth and justice.
1:06:35
Let there be a trial
in the full light of day.
1:06:41
I am waiting."
1:06:58
The reputation of the army is in danger
if we overlook this attack of Zola.
