GREGoRI BELIEVED DERANGED

PARIS. June 3-Whether yesterday S
attempt upon the life of Mai. Alfred
Dreyfus was only the individual act OF a
man believing himself to have been an
out rag ged patriot. or had behind it an in
cipient nationalist plot. the republican
press is unanimous in deploring the in
cidcnt and believes it injured rather than
aided that cause.
Even those papers which doubted the
wisdom of burying Emile Zola in the
Pantheon think the shooting of Maj Drey-
fus consolidated the republican senti-
mont
They evidently desire to see the Incl
dent die out quickly as possible. Any
attempt TO reopen the old Dreyfus issue
at the trial of Louis Gregori. the man
who shot Dreyfus yesterday. they point
out. would be plainly extraneous.
Nationalists Vituperative.
On the other hand. the fury of the
nationalist papers is unbounded. L'Actfon
Francaise fires broadside which re-
calls the most exciting days of Drcyfus
and Boulanger.
At the head of it's columns this news
paper prints statement by Charles
Maurras, which. it is likely the authori-
ties will investigate. In this article the
writer seys that. Wednesday night. "a
resolute patriot visited NJ. Daudet and
Lieut. Boisfeury and himself offered to
kill Dreyfus but his proposal was re-
jected.
A leading editorial in this paper appeals
to the country to turn to the Duke of Or
leans for redress, and concludes with
these words:
DO you desire that Zoias body be
elected from the Pantheon? Do you de-
sire to march Dreyfus to the execution
block? If so. invoke your king.
The paper also republisines a number OF
London reviews of the DreyfuS case. in
sisting he is traitor. The decision OF
the court Of cessation to cut off the time
for an appeal. the paper says. is illegal.
Urges Execution Of Dreyfus.
It concludes it's article as follows:
What we ask for Dreyfus is not 81,
balls from revolver. but the twelve bul
let's Of the execution squad"
Other newspapers declare that Gregori
mother, has lately manifested signs OF
mental arrangement. Gregorrs sister
said today that her brother latterly had
displayed symptoms of melancholia.
The authorities are pursuing their in
vestiga ton with the view OF determining
whether or not there is plot behind
the attempt of yesterday. Today the po-
lice made a thorough Search of Gre
gori's rooms for possible incrimina ting
documents. Nothing OF Importance was
found
The bullet i'll Mai. Dreyfus arm is said
to not have been definitely located. The
bulletin today says the condition of the
patient is satisfactory.

SECOND TRIAL BEGUN
Nine Tentative Jurors Chosen to
Try Harry K. Thaw.
INSANITY is THE DEFENSE
Slayer Of Stanford White ALLEGED to
Have Been Demented When He
Committed the Deed.

New York, Jan. AT the close of
three court sessions which marked the
first day of the second trial of Harry
K. Thaw for the alleged murder of
Stanford White, nine tentative jurors
had been selected out of fifty-seven
talesmen examined by District Attor-
ney Jerome for the prosecution and
Martin w. Littleton for the defense.
All of the men in the jury box are
subject to peremptory challenge, of
which each side has thirty. In view
of the difficulty experienced last year
in discharging five jurors after they
had taken the oath of office, it was
agreed this time not to administer
any oaths until both sides finally are
satisfied with the full panel.
Legal insanity at the time of the
tragedy is to be the sole defense. This
was made clear at the very outset of
the proceedings when Mr.. Littleton
formally served notice that the former
plea of not guilty was amended by
the specification that the defendant
was insane when the homicide was
committed.
Three court sessions, including an
evening sitting from 8 to 10 o'clock,
are to be held daily until the jury is
completed.
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw was again the
center of interest even to the exclu-
sion of the defendant himself. She
was followed by throngs of curious
persons as she entered and left the
courthouse for the morning and after
noon sessions. She did not attend the
night sitting.
