PARIS, April 26.-At the Anarchist
trial today, Ravachol gave an exposition
of his theories. He said: II wish to
see Anarchy established and the whole
people as one great family, each member
ready to share what he has with his
brethren. committed these outrages to
draw the attention Of the public to the
needs of the Anarchists
Ravachol in an insolent manner admit
ted his criminal history, SO far as it is
known to the police, but added that if he
was questioned concerning any crime of
which he was suspected and not accused
he would not respond. Judge Cues said:
'sThat will naturally be your right
When you were arrested 1000 francs were
found in your room. Was this money
the proceeds of your murder of the old
man at Chambless'
Precisely" answered Ravachol,
glancing around as though he enjoyed
the effect his answer produced.
''Did you intend to kill the policeman
stationed in front of the police station at
Clichy the first time you went there to
blow up the buildings?' asked the
judge.
YES" Ravachol responded, "but my
friends prevented me''
Ravachol during his examination ex-
pressed bitter regret that his fellow pris-
oners, whose only crime was having met
him, should be placed in their trying po-
sition. Rosalie Soubere, under question:
ing, admitted having carried saucepan
containing dynamite used by Ravachol in
the explosion in the Boulevard St. Ger
main. She said she was ignorant of the
saucepan's contents.
Simon was examined, but no revela :
tions were obtained from him. He adj
mitted his completely in the outrages.
Chaumartin said, when questioned. that
Ravachol stole from Soissy the car
tridges he intended to use in blowi ng up
the Palace of Justice. The other two
prisoners tried to exculpate themselves
Witnesses were called and tn cir testi-
mony corroborated all the details of the
crimes as setforth in the indictme MT.
Ravachol was well attired. The other
prisoners were dressed in SLOW enly
manner and attracted little attention, all
interest being centered in the arch-con-
spirator. During the pro ceedings, the
girl prisoner, Rosalie Soubere, frequently
wept bitterly.
M. Beaupaire, public prosecutor, in his
address to the jury, made an impassioned
speech, which was listened to with the
greatest attention, amid profound 81
lence. M. Beaupaire declared the pris-
oners were disciples of the famous BAN
dit, Claude Duyal. He said they had not
sought to convert people to their opin-
ions but to terrorize them and subject
them to their will by reducing them to
state of abject fear. He said: ssThe
real title of these men is assassins, not
Anarchists. This is, therefore, merely
matter of common law. The Anarchists
chief DESIRE" he said, lis to kill all
those whose duty it is to enforce the
law"
