Augustin Joseph Caron
Augustin Joseph Caron 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.
