PARIS, April 26,-Ravachol and Simon
were found guilty in the Seine assizes
to-day, and were sentenced to penal servi-

acquitted.
The prisoner Simon is a youth of IS
years, with squirting eyes and villain

Chamartin presented q more pleasing ap-
pearance. Rosalic Soubere was pale and
squalid, with unkempt hair.
Everybody in the court room stared at

listening to. the reading of the indictment
at the opening of the trial. They bore the
scrutiny composedly. They appeared to
be more disposed to pose US heroes than to
pay attention to the clerk of the court as
he read the history of their crimes as set
forth in the indictment.
BOMBS PUT IN EVIDENCE.
In the centre of the court room was a
table, which was covered with bombs, the
apparatus with which they were made and
everything that the police had captured.
When the reading of the indictment was
concluded, Judge Cues examined Rayachol
concerning the murders which il is charged
he has committed, and also concerning the
explosions. Ravachol in nonchalant
manner admitted his guilt and took upon
himself the entire responsibility for the
boulevard st. German and the Rue Clichy
explosions.
When questioned as to his motives for
causing the explosions Ravachol replied
