TO penal serYitude for life. The other
prisoners were acquitted.
So many threats have been made that
friends of the prisoners would ATTEMPT
some desperate act to either free the
accused or prevent their trial that ad-
mission to the court room this morning
was severely restricted. Only those
personally known TO the court officials
and the witnesses were admitted.
When Judge Cues entered he
at once summoned the jury, who
presented greatly disturbed appear
ance. The threats OF the friends OF the
prisoners had evidently greatly fright
ened the jurors. and the journalists
present expressed the opinion that it
would require very strong evidence to
convince the jurors of the guilt Of the
accused-rdther not 10 convince them.

they decided against the prisoners. The
explosion OF last night, no doubt, had
much to do with the very apparent un-
willingness of the jurors To serve i'll this

Posed as Heroes.
After the jurors had taken their
places, the prisoners. headed by Rava-
chol, were brought iD. guarded by ali
immense number Of police. They APP

heroes than 10 pay attention TO the
clerk OF the court as he read the history
OF their crimes. In the center or the

with which they were made and every
thing that the police had captured.
When the reading of the indictment was
concluded, Judge Cues examined
Ravachol concerning the murders whlch

concerning the explosions. Ravachol

guilt and took upon himself the entife re-

admitted his completely in the Outrages,

The other two prisoners tried to e&cui-
pate themselves. The witnesses were
then called, and their testimony cor

set forth in the indictment.
When Judge Cues began his eXamin-
alton of the prisoners, an advocate
called his attention 10 the fact that Ra-
vachol is extremely deaf. The judge
thereupOn ordered that Rayachol be
brought close to him. Ravachol, in an
insolent manner, admitted his criminal
history, so far as it is known to the
police, but he added if he was ques-
toned CONCERNING any crime or which
he is suspected and not accnsed, he
would not respond.
