Note 266 — Chapter XXXVI
Eleanor Marx Aveling translation
On the 22nd December 1876, Baron, ex-delegate of the accountants of Paris to the Workmen's Congress, was summoned before the third court-martial, which accused him of having been one of the secretaries of the delegation of war during the Commune. Baron was condemned to transportation in a fortress. During the examination the president said, "The Court will take notice that the accused still has the same sentiments as those which animated him in 1871, for in 1876 we have seen that he took part in the Workmen's Congress."
