 Open Case.

Paris. Sept 1O.-The trial of Louis A. Gregori who, on June of this year, fired two revolver shots at Ma ior Alfred Dreyfus In the Pantheon at Paris during the Zola canonizatlon ceremonies. was begun in the Assize Court here today.
 One of Gregoris bullets wounded Dreyfus in the wrist. The accused man has summoned sixty witnesses chiefly persons connected with the Dreyfus affair. from Premier Clemen- ceau and Minister of War Picquart to Colonel Du Patty de Clam. The efforts of the defense to revive the old Drey- fus affair, however, are certain 10 prove abortive as both the public and the Government are opposed to the reopening of this question.
 A large crowd was present in the court room and the woman in white" who was conspicuous throughout the trial of Dreyfus at Rennes. occupied a prominent place. The proceedings de- veloped no new feature.
 Gregori who is charged with at- tempted murder. told his story much as he did Immediately after his ar rest. He admitted that his act was premeditated. and he repeated that he had shot at "Dreyfusism." and not at Major Dreyfus. as a protest against the participation of the army in the ceremonies at the Pantheon attending the canonization of Emile Zola.
