The Associated Press correspondent
during the evening had an interview
with DIR. Mayha, who was prominent
among the physicians in giving assist
ance TO the wounded. DR.. Mayha said
that the most of the wounds were slight,
but IL was still impossible to give a
complete account Of their extent, as the
projectiles which were thrown from the
bomb had, in many cases, penetrated
the bodies of the wounded people, caus-
ing internal injuries. which are likely
TO have serious results.
Suspects i'm Custody.
Late tonight it Is announced that the
police have in custody a man Who re-
fused TO remove his overcoat when re-
quested to do so in the cloak-room and
again at the entrance of the tribune.
The man referred to is wounded and was
among the first carried out.
One man who tried to evade the door
keeper ana escape from the precincts of
the chamber is also being closely
watched He is described as wearing a
gray felt hat and as having a light
brown mustache. Some of the speta-
tors recognized him as the thrower of
the bomb and his name Is LonOir.
At p. m. all strangers present at to-
days sitting Of the chamber of dep
titles were still being detained at the
Palais Bourbon. They were promenad-
ing the corridors impatiently behind
closed gates. The luckiest of them have
succeeded i'm invading the Sale des
QuatTo Colloner. They are of all ranks
and ages and collect in groups and en-
gage in animated discussions of the out
rage.
Six suspected people who tried to
escape with LonOir are detained for ex-
animation.
The report of the outrage spread like
wildfire through the city and eager
groups collected in all the main thor
oughfares reading by the lights in shop
windows the accounts of the explosion
published in the special editions OF the
newspapers here, although the latter
was most meager and unreliable.
Statements of Deputies.
Two deputies. NJ. la Foiremais and
Samaria, who were present at the time
of the explosion and who were allowed
to leave the chamber, volunteered the
following statement:
1.-The bomb was thrown from the gal
lery above the right benches into which
the public is admitted without the for
mality Of presenting a card. A fuse
was attached TO the bomb which ex-
ploded In the air. The report was not
very loud. and though the shell may
have contained a mixture of nitro
glycerine and gunpOwder we couldn't
believe that IL was loaded with dyna-
mite. The smoke had a smell peculiar
to nitro-glycerine.
we are of the opinion that the out
rage wasn't directed against any par
ticular party i'm the chamber. as the
bomb was thrown In the direction of
an open space separating the tribune
from the first row of benches, and had IL
exploded there the list of fatalities
would have been appalling"
