then went to the Cafe L America. Not
finding these places as full Of wealthy
looking people as he expected, he went
to the Cafe de La PAX, but even that
establishment was not full enough of
his prospective victims, and so he con-
tinued on his way until he arrived at
the Cafe Terminus, situated beneath
the hotel of that name.
1t was about $50 when he reached
this spot and found it to be we'll filed
with people, who were crowded around
a platform upon which an orchestra
was playing. Henri entered and took a
|seat at small table near the door,
paid for glass of beer, drank it, called
for second glass and then for a cigar.
He was waiting for the crowd to become
larger.
At 9 O'clock, Henri took the lighted
cigar from his mouth and applied 1t to
the fuse attached to the bomb which
he had concealed upon his person. He
then arose, walked toward the door and,
suddenly turning around, he threw the
bomb in the direction Of the orchestra.
The bomb struck the electric light chan
|delier and fell to the ground, throwing
out a thick black smoke. A few sec
onds later the bomb exploded with a
dull defamation, tore a deep hole in the
flooring and more or less severely
wounding seventeen people. Henri fed,
seeking to.divert suspicion from himself
by crying out "the miserable wretch,
where is hep
His Pursuit and Capture.
He was pursued, however and at
the corner of Rue du Havre and Rue
D'Italy, was overhauled by man
named Etiente. Henr9. drew his revol-
yer and fired straight at Etiente's
breast. The bullet luckily struck
large button and did not wound the
man, but the shock caused him to fall
senseless to the ground. Henri shot a
barber named Maurice, and police
man named Poisson before he was
overcome. When the police searched
his room, they found that papers and
discriminating material had been de-
stroyed after his arrest, showing that
he had accomplices.
Replying to question from the
judge; Henri said he selected the Cafe
Terminus to explode his bomb because
other cafe. Several witnesses called
were still suffering from wounds re-
ceived in the explosion.
Impudent to a Degree.
Henri replied to the judges questions
coolly and impudently. He admitted
he tried to escape, but only in order to
resume the manufacture of bombs next
day. Continuing, he said:
Il aimed at the mob at the center of
the cafe, where the orchestra was play
ing, but I threw the bomb too high
Judge Potter here remarked: "How-
ever, you killed one person and
wounded twenty others
The prisoner interposed crying, mo,
1 injured only seventeen"
I'm any case" the judge continued
you intended to kill two
Certainly" replied Henri without
hesitation, certainly, I did,
You took great care in making the
bomb was the next remark of the
judge. Valiant declared that if he
had meant to kill he would have put
bullets and not nails in his bomb. You
put 120 bullets in yours"
precisely" was the prisoners calm
reply I wanted to kill and not to
wound"
me jury will form their own opin-
ions on this subject. They have seen
the vain, inglorious cynicism with
which you vowed your intentions
The prisoner here interposed, ex-
is conviction. 1 admit that 1 wanted
to kill some bourgeoise and tried to
kill my pursuers''
And you desired to destroy a build
ing?" asked the Judge
In reply to this question he replied
tcontemptuously: 81 don't care a snap
for a building. 1 struck at the bollr-
geoise."
You mean you deliberately tried to
Kill innocent persons?'
No Bourgeois Is Innocent
NO." exclaimed Henry, mo bour-
geois is innocent"
| On the prisoner refusing later to re-
late his connection with the anarchist
chief, Ortiz, the judge warned him
against maintaining silence, which
caused Henri to exclaim contemptu-
ously, Pooh, pooh! 1 am certain of
being condemned to death, whether I
maintain silence or whether 1 do not ="
The judge then resumed: "You are
silent because you don't wish to admit
that your hand, now stained with blood.
took money from thief"
This caused the prisoner to retort in
solently If my hands are stained with
blood, SO is your red robe. 1 am proud
| OF what have done"
Sit down. cried the judge sternIy,
and the hearing was suspended amid
the stir caused by Henri's insoIence.
When the session was resumed. a.
waiter of the Cafe Angelon, who was
wounded in the leg, testified to seeing
Henri throw the bomb.
The other witnesses included Police
man Poisson, who was seriously in
jured by the bullets fired at him by
| the prisoner. When other wounded
witnesses appeared, Henri turned his
back upon the judge and affected to
utterly disregard the proceedings.
Thereupon, Judge Potter reproached
the prisoner with his callousness in
the face of his victims, many of whom
were poor working people
Henri replied: what can I do? I
wanted to strike at the bourgeois and
I am satisfied that 1 did So AS to nv
GOODNESS, if anybody is passive it is
| YOU
This caused another sensation in
court.
