ANARCHIST METHODS
Another Terrific Explosion at the
Home of a Paris Official.
SEVEN INJURED BY DYNAMITE.

Buildings Completely Shattcrcd-A
Leading Anarchist Says They Will
Hold Personally Responsible Every
Individual Who Aids In Convict
ing One of Their Number.
PARIS, March 2S.-There was a ter
rife explosion of dynamite last night at
80 Rue Clichy, the home of M. Boulot,
the public prosecutor. The attempt was
against his life, which has been threat
ened repeatedly lately by anarchists.
The police say that at least eight pounds
of dynamite must have been used. The
effect of the explosion was indescribable.
Houses for an eighth of mile on either
side of 80 were rocked as if by an earth
quake. All winds were shattered in the
neighborhood, and the walls of the
strongest buildings in the immediate
vicinity were cracked and bulged. No.
80 is wreck.
The explosion, which is thought to
have taken place i'll the ground hallway
below the stairway, tore it to splinters,
so that the panic stricken inmates had
to be helped down from the upper floors
with ladders. The furniture through
out the house was thrown into heaps
and against the walls, SO that not a
whole chair or table remains. The win
dows, frames and all, were blown out
completely and bricks were driven from
places and dropped to the street, The
plastering was stripped clean from all
the walls and ceilings.
Seven persons were injured by the ex-
plosion, four by being thrown from
oh tfa. l,tpl. az a
three by falling debris. M. Boulot, who
lived on the fifth floor, is said to have
escaped without injury. The theory
that the anarchists have been preparing
the internal machines and dynamite
bombs already discovered for May has
been abandoned. The police are con-
WINGED that they have begun war of
determination on all persons in office
who have antagonized them. so as to
frighten magistrates out of convicting
their comrades apprehended in crime
leading anarchist, interviewed by
French reporter on the condition that
his name should be withheld, expresses
the programme Of his comrades thus:
A Programme Of Crime.
"Thc anarchists, as they are showing,
have in their hands the means of secur-
ing immunity from the courts and pub
Tic OlllClalS. These means consist in
holding personally responsible every in
dividual who assists in conyicting them.
Magistrates are mortal and amenable to
fear. To give them the lessons, as in
the case of NJ. Benoit, it will be indis-
pensadle to blow up the house of every
Judge or public prosecutor who has as
sisted recently i'll sending an anarchist
to prison. After we have treated few
magistrates and prosecuting attorneys
in this way, not Judge or lawyer will
dare to risk the conviction Of an anarch-
ist, as he will know that such a conyic-
tion is his own death warrant and per-
haps the death warrant of his whole
family.
1.-The method is easy and not danger
ous, as we have allies in every neigh
borhood who are ready to facilitate the
escape of the perpetrators of any such
act of justice. The police have not
caught any Of the men who are reSpon-
sible for the last two explosions, al
though they think they have. We don't
intend make the innocent suffer with
the guilty, and SO warn people not to
live in houses with persons who are
active i'll prosecuting US. We wish 10
make it SO that judges and lawyers who
prosecute us will be obliged to live
alone, and landlords will refuse to rent
property for fear of our agents. When
we can make our persecutors the
pariahs of society in this way we shall
shall have taken Il long step towards to-
wards the revolution"
