French Pantheon shot shocks Paris during Zola ceremony
A dramatic attempt on Dreyfus's life occurred at the Pantheon as Gregori, a noted mystery writer, fired twice at Alfred Dreyfus during Emile Zola's interment ceremony. Dreyfus was not seriously wounded. The attacker claimed protest against Zola and the military rehabilitation. The incident sparked a large, tense reaction across Paris. The ceremony saw few foreign ambassadors present and drew swift security response, with Gregori arrested after the second shot. Also noted was the City of Cleveland steamship's first trip with 600 Deta Board members aboard for a six-day excursion to Sault Ste. Marie.
