PARIS, April 26.-The restaurant Of
NJ. Very, who on March 30 delivered
Ravachol. the anarchist. into the hands
of the police, was utterly wrecked at 4
o'clock yesterday by a bomb eX-
plosion. The force of the explosion was
terrific and widely felt and an enormous
crowd quickly gathered about the shat
tered building.
The police found NJ. Very lying on the
floor of the restaurant in the midst Of
heaps of debris groaning with fright
and pain. One of his legs had been
broken and he was sent to a hospital.
where it was found necessary To ampu-
tate his leg. He died at the hospital
soon after the amputation.
A granddaughter of NJ. Very was
also injured and two ladies living in
rooms over the restaurant were badly
shaken and bruised.
Very's wife was not injured but she
has lost her senses owing to the severity
of the shock she suffered and is raving
like a maniac.
1t is the general opinion that the ex-
plosion was perpetrated mainly to ter
rorize the jurymen who will be on duty
at R~avachol's trial. The police think
the bomb was thrown into the base
ment through a grating. A policeman
who was on duty just outside the res
taurant when the explosion occurred
