that Meunier prepared the bomb which

After counsel for Meunir had made
his argument, in which he claimed that
his client had not been guilty of Of
fenses of an anarchistic nature, the
public prosecutor demanded that the
death sentence be imposed upon the
prisoner The verdict returned was
guilty, but with extenuating circum-

A DEADLY RIOT GUN.
1t Carries Six Cartridges Loaded With
Twelve Buckshot Each.

The riot gun" with which United
States Marshal Arnold has armed his
posse of 200 deputies in Chicago il
really a cross between the gatling gun
and the French mitrailleuse. 1t NAV
be defined as repeating shotgun,
but is the most powerful hand arm
ever loaded with powder and shot.
The weapon is of larger bore than
the average army rifle, but weighs
less. Its magazine has room for six
e!ve-callber cartridges. Each car
fridge contains three and a half drame
OF powder and twelve buckshot. Be
tween the shot and the powder are
two one-eighth-inch compressed paper
WadS. The shell of the cartridge is of
paper, backed by rim of brass. Its
outward appearance is very much
like that of the ordinary shell, but
its surface is thicker and much
stronger The six cartridges may be
fired in half as many seconds. thus
throwing Seventy-tWO catering bull
lets, any of which would infiict a seri-
Gus wound at eighty yards distance.
liz Lila SiLIhC lhoy NC easily
within half minute. 1t is calculated
that with the shot of each cartridge
scattering as it is discharged, the gun.
in the hands of fairly accurate shot,
is capable of disabling $50 men to the
minute. Marshal Arnold says that
five men armed with these weapons
and fairly protected could easily dis
pose of a mob of $4,000 rioters.
The gun is the product of the Win
chester Repeating Arms company.
The latest pattern has been on the
market for d few months only. 1t is
operated by a sliding forearm placed
beneath the barrel, making the gun
easy of manipulation from the Shout
der. The gun is locked by the back
ward or closing motion of the fore
arm, and can be unlocked only by
pushing forward the firing pin, which
may be done either by the hammer
or by the finger. When the hammer
is down the backward and forward
motion of the sliding forearm unlOCks
and opens the breeh lock. elects t'-e
cartridge or exploded shell and {.
places it with a fresh cartridge. The
construction of the arm is such that
the hammer can not fall on the firing
pin or strike the cartridge until the
breech-blOck is In place and locked
fast. When the gun is closing and
the hammer is at half-cock, it is
locked both against opening and publ
ing the trigger, and when the hammer
IS at the full-cock notch the gun is
locked against opening. To load the
magZine the gun, closed. must be
turned so that the under surface of
the carrier-blOck can be seen. Upon
this the cartridge is laid and pushed
directly into the magazine
The standard gun is made up with
a rolled steel barrel, with smooth bore
and blued frame. The pistol-gTipped
stock is of plain or checked wood. The
gun is, as a rule, full-chOked. The
length Of the barrel is 30 to 81 inches,
the stock IL inches In length, with
"a inches drop. Unloaded, the gun
weighs A trif1e over 7 1-2 pounds; the
weight about ounces.
