PARIS, March 28-There was terrific
explosion Of dynamite yesterday after
nosn at 80 Rue Clinchy, the home of n.
Boulot, the putlio 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. 80 were
rocked a. II by an earthquake. All
windows were shattered in the neighbor-
hood, and walls Of the strongest build
inRs In the Immediate vicinity were
cracked and bulged. Ne. 80 II . wreck
The explosion, which II 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 . 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. II. 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 d Mantle bombs already discovered
for May l, has been abandoned. The
police are convinced that they have
begun a war of determination ON all
persons in Office who have Rntagonized
them, so as to brighten magistrates out
of convicting their comrades apprehended
In crime.
A leading Anarchist interviewed by u
French reporter, on condition that his
name should DO withheld, expresses the
programme Of his comrades thus.
1.-The Anarchists, IS they are showing,
have in their hands the means Of secur-
ing immunity from the courts and police
officials. These means consist in hold
ing personally responsible every individ-
ual who assists in cOnvictin9 them.
Magistrates are mortal and amenable to
fear. To give them the necessary les
sons, as in the case N. Benoit, it will be
indispensable to blow up the house of
every judge or public prosecutor who
has assisted recently in sending an Annr-
chist to prison. After we have treated
a few magistrates and prosecuting attor-
neys in this way, not judge or lawyer
will dare to risk the conviction OF an
Anarchist, as he will know that such q
conviction is his own death warrant, and
perhaps the death warrant Of his whole
family
1.-The method Is easy and not danger
GUS, as we have allies In every neighbo
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 SUfger with the guilty
and SO We WarA people not to live In
houses with persons who are active in
prosecuting US. We wish to mako 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, w0 shall have
taken a long step towards the revolu-
ton"
