Afraid TO Prosecute and convict Them.
PARIS. March 27.-There was a terrific ex-
plosion OF dynamite this afternoon Mt 80 Rue
Clichy. the home Of NJ. BouloS the public pros
ecutor. The attempt was against his life.
which has been threatened repeatedly lately
by Anarchists. The police say that at least
eight pounds Of dynamite used.
The effect OF the explosion was indescriba-
Bile. Houses for an eighth OF mile on every
side OF No. 80 were rocked as II by an earth
quake. All the windows were shattered in the
neighborhood. and the walls OF the strongest
buildings were cracked and bulged. No. 80 is
awreck. The explosion. which is thought to
have taken place In the ground hallway. blew
the stairway to splinters so that the panic
stricken inmates had to DO helped down from
the upper floors with ladders. The furniture
throughout the house was thrown into heaps
and against walls. SO that not whole chair or
table remains. The windows. frames and all.
were blown out completely. and bricks were
driven from place and dropped to the street
The plastering was stripped clean from all
walls and ceilings.
Seven persons were injured by the explo-
sion four by being thrown from chairs on
which they were sitting. and three by falling
debris. NJ. Boulot. who lived on tho fifth
floor. is said to have escaped without injury.
The theory that the Anarchists have been
preparing the internal machines and dyna mite
for May has been abandoned. The police nre
convinced that they have begun a war Of ex-
termination on all persons in Office who have
antagonizcd them SO as to brighten magis-
trates out OF convictins their comrades appre-
hended in crime. leading Anarchist. inter-
viewed by French reporter on the condition
that his name should be withheld expresses
the programme Of his comrades thus:
The Anarchists. as they are showing have
in their hands the means OF securing immunity
from the courts and public officials. These
means consist in holding personally RESPONSE
BILE every individual who assists in convicting
them. Magistrates are mortal and amenable
to fear. 10 give them the necessary lessons.
as in tho case OF NJ Benoit. it will be indis-
pensable to blow up the house OF every Judge
or public prosecutor who has assisted recently
in sending an Anarchist to prison. After we
have treated few magistrates and prosecut-
ing attorneys in this way. not Judge or law
yer will dare to risk the conviction of an
Anarchist as he will know that such con-
viction is his own death warrant. and perhaps
tho death warrant OF his whole family.
The method is easy and not dangerous. as
We have allies In every neighborhood who are
ready to facilitate the escape Of the perpetrat-
ors OF any such act OF justice. The police have
not caught any Of the men who are esponsible
for the last two explosions. although they
think they have We do not intend to make
the innocent suffer with the guilty. and SO We
warn people not to live in houses with persons
who are active in prosecuting u.s. We wish to
make it so that the judges and lawyers who
prosecute US will be obliged to live alone. and
landlords will refuse to rent property to them
for fear Of our vengeance When we can make
our prosecutors the pariahs Of society in this
way we shall have taken long step toward
the revolution"
Aurelien Scholl. who lived on the first floor
fiat OF the building opposite 49, says he was
smoking q pipe ut the time OF the explosion.
He heard a deafening report, and tho house
rocked like boat. The next thing he knew
he lay in a corner with the ruins Of the fur
niture and chandelier around him. At first he
thought the Church of theSacred Heart at
Montmartre had been destroyed. He ran out and
found the walls Of 80 crumbling and smoke
issuing from the windows. The stairways had
collapsed like piles Of dominoes. he says. and
there was gap in the wall at the doorway
about fifteen feet square.
Tho Fire Department was summoned and
ladders were put UP to the sacond story win
dows. where a chemist stood with his sick
wife in his arms. She was confined but four
hours before the explosion. The fremen got
her and her husband and baby out first.
Others came down the fire escapes to the Sec
ond floor and were taken by the flremen to
the street Several were SO severely Injured
or so terrified that they We're unable
to descend. and were carried from the
third and fourth floors by fremen. The fire
was soon extinguished. and it is believed
that no lives were lost although three per-
sops may die from the injuries received in the
wreck at the time OF the explosion. The crumb-
ling OF the walls at 50 and Al has rendered
one side of the street impossible. and the
police are guarding the street before the
houses to prevent the approach OF the crowd.
The people OF the neghborhood are panic
stricken. and many are taking their femilies
to other parts OF tho city for tho night Late
this evening 1t is said that the police have no
clue to the identity Of the perpetrator Of the
deed.
