Paris, June 5. Greater sensations
are expected by.' following the in
vestigation of the allegation that
Louis Anthene Gregori was acting
as vtha,; agent of' a ytwwarfai , anti
semetlc organization yesterday when
he attempted ' to assassinate Major
Alfred Dreyfus on the steps of the
Pantheon 4uring the lervfpes in
memory 'ot-Emilr.'ola''sV t
H: The police' freelfc assert jat they jkrB
convinced GregoU nrv4 l that agent
of tha organisation and Jhey, are mak
ing a -thorough, search of .Paris in an
effort to . find." compromising ;-. papers
which might lead. to an expose of a plot
of surpassing, boldness. ,. .
Dreyfus, at the time of tha -first
charge against '.him In-1894, was the
only Hebrew among the' officers tf the
French army and race feeling against
him has been strong. During- his re
markable career since., then this feel
ing has" been" shown at various-times
snd the authorities are ready to believe
that the antl-semetic organisation con
demned him to death. .-.
The police have taken charge of
Oregorrs apartments li Paris and also
of his villa in the country and . are
searching every corner.
An esDlanatfon of the basis for the
apparently firm belief that Gregori
acted - for the organisation wes refused
by the police who say they will talk no
more until they have evidence they are
sec Veil)
It would be a strange twisty of fate
If the man; who shot Dreyfus should be
tried on the evidence ot a letter, which
was the same means by which the trea
son charge was brought against the
army officer. .
Would Reopen vreyzus vasen .,.
'A report; was circulated today that
Gregori would make -a determined ef
fort to -have the Dreyftts case reopened
.k.. ! trlwt for the shootlnr. It
lsthought that that waa the Intent of
his remarks when he said -that the.
shooting was not at wrsyius, out 17
fuslsm." His attorneys are said to be
gathering evidence against Dreyfus and
making themselves famlliarvwith . the
proceedings ef the three former trials. :
As the reopening of the Dreyfus case
would - disturb the peace of France It
will be strenuously opposed. It Is said
that Gregori can be prevented from go
ing into any of the particulars , of the
famous case because It would " be extraneous-
to the trial of , hU own ease
on tha charge , of shooting tha ; major,
i Vapors Take Sides. '-f t
The Nationalist papers In their even
ing editions today are rabid In their
denunciation of Major Dreyfus. One of
them urges in a fierce invective that he
be shot and quotes copious testimony
against him at the Rennes courtmartial,
Tho Republican papers are unanimous
In deploring the shooting as an unfor
tunate sequel to an affair that dis
graced Franco In the eyes of tha world
and disrupted the whole nation. They
urge calmness and deplore any revival
of the Dreyfus and anti-Dreyfus feud.
