in order that they might make model in
wood; to this end Letouze and Grenier went
to one modeller who refused, then to another
who made and delivered the model in wood
they told him that the design was for rotary
machine for sewing-machines. Once the
model made, Grenier charged the man named
Lerenard to make casting from it. Lerenard
applied successfully to three ironfounders to
whom he said that 1t was for the naves
(moyeux) of velocipedes, or else an apparatus
for the telegraph; one of these founders de-
livered twenty-five bonds, another six the
third none at all. They were returned to
Lerenard, who partly prepared them. Letouze
on his part admits having prepared four. The
bombs were taken to Grenier's, aud it was at
Roussels that twenty-one of them were
seized on the Goth April. On that day Rous-
sci had gone TO Epinay with named Greffier,
in order to get railway guard to buy in Bel
GUM certain quantity of revolvers; on his
return from Epinay, about eighth the even
ing, he was arrested in the street, on the
Boulevard Meuilmontant; but directly he
cried out that he was not thief, but a Re-
publican, etc., etc., crowd collected, at
tackled the police, and rescued the prisoner.
The police at once went to the domicile of
Roussel and seized twenty-one bombs loaded
(montees), half of the WOO len model, handles
in copper wire, glass tubes, nails, a six-cham-
bered revolver like the one found on Bsaury,
a sheet of paper on which was written the for
mula for the production of a sort of powder,
small quantity of the same powder, etc. The
day before or two days before this day Ballot,
Roussell, Grefier, and Ruisseau were to-
gether at wineseller's, from which they
went to go to Roussel's to examine the
bombs. The concubine of Soret has declared
shat Greffier gave her a bomb to show to
Ballot, and that she carried it to the latter.
1t was Greffier who received the funds from
Ballot which were destined to pay for the
making of the bombs. The surplus was
given by Ballot either to Soret or to Roussel
directly. The accused Bayol lived in the
same house as Roussel This latter showed
him one of the bombs, and several which
were not yet prepared, saying to him, 'We
shall make use of them Bayol understood
that it was (Qu'a s'agissaSU either to 6JoO up
tie Emperor 0s else houses. The 29th of
April, in the morning, he had undertaken, at
Roussel's request, to carry away the bombs
from the house, but this could not be done.
Roussel and Soret have taken flight; the
place of their retreat is not known. Ballot
was arrested the 4th of May at the Northern
Railway station at the moment he was about
to leave Paris. Experts have been charged
to examine the bombs; they have reported
that these bombs, when loaded with common
powder, produce but very moderate effect,
but that, loaded with the powder of which
the recipe was found at Roussels, they burst
in a manner to produce terrible effects.
Under these circumstances, the court de-
claring its competence, etc.
Then follows the list of ~ accused, which
has already appeared in the decree convoking
the High Court.
