The following is description Of Champ

ne IoHoWIhS Is description OF Cnamp'
ions internal machine.
1t was in the shape Of chid's commode
or chest drawers, about or inches wide,
and a or inches deep. Instead Of three
drawers, it had three compartments, which
extended the whole length Of the commole
In the first compartment were places for
seven small pistol barrels, TO be ranged
horizontally, the second was calculated to
hold six barrels in direction nclining TO
the left. The following is the manner in
which the machine was to be discharged.
A battery to be attached, would by means
OF string, ignite Al, the barrels, beginning
with the first rank, and then in succession
passing to the two others by train of gun
powder, which was SO calculated, that all
the barrels should not 90 off at once, but
to the right and left might have a wider
range, and thus strike the victim should he
escape from the horizontal range. This
explanation is said to have been given BY
Champion himself, who afterwards stated
the manner in which he had proposed to
employ the machine. He was to obtain a
hand-cart, and fill it with furniture. as if he
was removing from his lodgings. The ma
chine was to be placed at the height of five
or six feet, and concealed by u mattrass.-
A porter, hired az chance. was TO draw the
hand cart on the road to Neully, near the
spot where the King would pass in his car
rage, and ut, the proper moment, Champ
ion was to pull ne string and fire the ma
