Benjamin Franklin created the Junto, also known as the Leather Apron Club, in 1727 in Philadelphia. Its purpose was to debate questions of morals, politics, and natural philosophy. It also aimed to exchange knowledge of business affairs. Apart from this, the Junto was also a charitable organization that made a subscription public library of the members’ own books. The group was made of Benjamin Franklin’s close friends. It originally had 12 members who had various occupations and backgrounds but sharing the same spirit and desire for mutual improvement.

When the real traitor in the dreyfus affair was discovered, what did french officials do?
IRISSAK [1]
First they refused to reopen the case.  Then they did a quick trial in which they found that person not guilty.  It wasn't till years later that Alfred Dreyfus was actually cleared of the false charges against him.

Captain Alfred Dreyfus (of Jewish ethnicity) had been accused of giving French military secrets to the Prussians.  The real traitor was Major Ferdinand Esterhazy (who had framed Dreyfus).  In 1896, when army intelligence chief Georges Picquart found evidence pointing to Esterhazy, he was rebuffed by army bosses and transferred to North Africa. When talk of Esterhazy's guilt persisted, the army court-martialed him but in a quick trial declared him not guilty.  The role of the media, led by an accusing article by Emile Zola, kept the Dreyfus Affair alive in public interest with a desire to undo the wrong that had been done to the innocent Dreyfus.  But it took till 1906 before Dreyfus was fully cleared of all guilt in the matter.
