Auguste Joseph Caron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Auguste Joseph Caron (1774—1822) was a lieutenant colonel in the French army during the Bourbon Restoration. He was accused and acquitted of conspiracy in 1820. In 1821 he was again implicated in a conspiracy, this time for attempting to free soldiers involved in the Belfort Conspiracy. To circumvent claims of entrapment, the government brought Caron before a military tribunal. Despite public skepticism, Caron was convicted and executed in 1822[1].
