PARIS, March 28.-There was terrific
explosion of dynamite yesterday after
nosn at 80 Rue Clinchy, the home of N.
Boulot, the public prosecutor. The at
tempt was against his life, which has
been threatened repeatedly, lately by
Anarchists The police say that at least
eight pounds of dynamite must have
been used.
The effect of the explosion was indie
indescribable. Houses for an eighth of
a mile on every side of No. 39 were
rocked as if by an earthquake All
windows were shattered in the neighbor-
hood, and walls of the strongest build
ings in the immediate vicinity were
cracked and bulged. No 80 is a wreck
The explosion, which is thought to
have taken place in the lower hallway,
blew the stairway to splinters, so that
the panic stricken inmates had to be
helped down from the upper floors with
| ladders. The furniture throughout the
house was thrown into heaps and against
walls, so that not a 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 ex-
plosion; four by being thrown from
chairs on which they were sitting, and
three by falling debris. NJ. 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 convinced that they have
begun war of determination on all
persons in Office who have antagonized
them, so as TO frighten magistrates out
of cony cling their comrades apprehended
in criu4y.
A leading anarchist interviewed by a
French refoIeT, on condition that his
name should &c withheld, expresses the
programme of his comrades thus
''The Anarchists, as they are showing,
have in their hands the means of secur
llE lululuulIy from tlib COuIt5 anu pOllCG
officials. These means consist in hold
ing personally responsible every individ-
ual who assists in convicting them
Magistrates are mortal and amenable to
fear. To give them the necessary les
sons, as in the case NJ. Benoit, it will be
Indispensable to blow up the house of
every judge or public prosecutor who
has assisted recently in sending an Anar-
chist to prison. After we have treated
a few magistrates and prosecuting attor-
neys in this way, not a judge or lawyer
will dare to risk the conviction of an
Anarchist, as he will know that such a
conviction is his own death warrant, and
perhaps the death warrant of his whole
family
"The method is easy and not danger
Gus, as we have allies in every neighbor-
hood who are ready to facilitate the es-
cape of the perpetrators of any such act
OF justice. The police have not caught
any of the men who are responsible 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 us. We wish to make it so
that the judges and lawyers who prose
cute 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 towards the revolu,
