Echoes of the Rudolph Haas affair, the so-called German Dreyfus case, were sounded in the supreme court of Naugburg yesterday when the trial of two German jurists involved in the Haas case began.
The court started disciplinary proceedings against Hofmann, director of the Landesgericht, and Koelling, counsel of the court. The two were responsible for instigating the accusation against Rudolph Haas, the Jewish merchant of Magdeburg, in the murder of Helling, Haas’s bookkeeper. Schroeder later confessed to the crime.
