<ref name="n7"> Samuel Pozzi avait été appelé comme témoin, le 25 juillet 1914, à la Cour d'Assises de la Seine dans un procès qui avait fait grand bruit, celui de Mme Caillaux.

Sa stratégie consistait à interroger divers chirurgiens pour suggérer que Calmette ne serait pas mort de ses blessures s'il avait été opéré plus rapidement.

  1. Samuel Pozzi had been called as a witness, on 25 July 1914, at the Assize Court of la Seine in a trial that had created a great deal of publicity, that of Mme Caillaux. On 16 March 1914, Henriette Caillaux had shot Gaston Calmette, director of Le Figaro, four times with a Browning pistol in order to put a stop to the campaign to unseat her husband, Joseph Caillaux, Finance Minister, that Calmette had been waging. One of the bullets having passed through the iliac artery, Calmette died of internal haemorrhage a few hours later. The three eminent surgeons from the Neuilly clinic where he had been carried unconscious, had judged it necessary to revive him and stabilize him before attempting an operation, which was unsuccessful. Mme Caillaux had chosen as her barrister the aged defense lawyer for Dreyfus, M. Henri Labori. His strategy consisted of interrogating various surgeons in order to suggest that Calmette would not have died of his wounds had he been operated on sooner. At the bar Pozzi declared himself, in principle, a proponent of rapid intervention, a position which strengthened the case for the defence, but he had refused to lay the blame on the competence and decisions of his fellow surgeons. To Labori's question: "Were you not M. professor Hartmann's master [one of the three surgeons]?", he replied: "M. Hartmann may well call me his master, but I consider him absolutely to be my equal."
