willingness d jurors tO serve 10 the
case, for that was taken TO prove
that the police will not be able u
protect the jurors after the trial IL
finished. After the jurors hsd ia
ken Ehe.T places the prisoners headed
~ Ray4cbOl, were brought in,
gasrded by an immense number 0;
police. The proceedings al ones
commenced by reading tine indict
ment, which occupied considerable
time. Everybody in the courtroom
stared a. the prisoners a. they stOoo
listening to the reading Of the in
dlcfmenf. They bore the scrutiny
ssompOsedly, and appeared more dis
p0sed 10 pese as heroes than TO pay
attention to the clerk Of tie court
as i.e read the history Of their crimez
a. ct forth in the Indictment. IN
the center Of the Courtroom there
was q table covered With bombs, the
apparatus with which they made
them and everything the police had
captured. When the reading of the
indictment was concluded, Judge
Guese examined RavscbOI concern
ing the murders which, it Is charged,
he committed, also concerning the
explosions. Rayachol, in a nom
chaIant manner admitted his guilt
and took nTOn himself the entire re-
sponsibility for the boulevard st.
Germain and Rue Clichy explosions.
Being questioned az TO the motives
for causing explosions, Ravachcl
replied: "I felt feeling, uBfeigned
anger at the conviction Of Levallois
and Perret. j do not think Benoit
and BuIOt should have demanded
death Of the fathers Of families.
Then, again, the brutality Of the
police when they arrested my COM
rades TevOlied my conscience and
determined on revenge. With re-
gard To the 81. German explosion i
loaded q bomb that contained sixty
cartridges. j dressed myself in
broadclolh, went to Benoit's house
without attracting any attention.
After depositing the machine and
and lighting the fuse, / ran down
stairs, reaching the pavement just
as the explosion occurred. The
operation In Rue Clicby was much
the same, only / carried my bomb |
in bag. A portion Of the powder
became displaced, this rendered 1t
extremely dangerous TO light the
bomb, as it might have exploded
at any instant, yet / did not hesi-
tate TO take the Tisk.p Ravachol
CONCLUDED his remarks with the ex-
position Of his theories. He said:
~ wish TO see anarchy established
and the whole people live as one
great family, each member ready 10
share what he has with his brethren.
I committed these outrages in order
10 draw attention Of the public 10
he needs Of the anarchists"
Simon was next examined, but no
aew revelations were obtained from
him. He admitted completely In
The OutBges. Chaumartin said,
when questioned, that Rayachol
stole from 6oissy cartridges which
be intended to use In blowing up
