the Paris laboratory, after making an ex
animation of the scene Of the explosion
and of the fragments of the bomb thrown
by Breton last night, says that the missile
was made out of small round canned
meat box, evidently made in England
where it is suspected the bomb itself was
made. The latter, according to NJ. Girard.
contained 200 grammes Of chlorate ol
potassium and piric acid, arranged in q
manner similar to that of the bomt
thrown by Valiant into the chamber OF
deputies.
During the course of the examination OF
the prisoners today, M. Meyer suspected
the accuracy of the prisoners statements,
and said: 81 believe you are lying"
Breton glanced angrily at the judge
when the latter made this remark, and
gave a second and then third name; but
he Judge still insisted that he did not be-
lieve him, and ordered the police to in
aure into the prisoners antecedents.
Breton then became very violent. and
when NJ. Meyer asked him his motive for
committing the crime, Breton replied:
Il did il simply to give warning to the
bourgeoisie govern ment, which Is SO CAL
lous to the poor. You have captured me;
but others will come who will succeed
better than l."
After being subjected to examination
for two hours, Breton was returned to the
Masas prison.
Policeman Poisson, who was seriously
wounded by Breton, when the officer at
tempted to arrest him after the explosion,
was visited by the Associated Press cores
pondent in the hospital today. Poisson
said:
"When Breton fired the last two shots 1
was in three PAGES of him. Feeling myself
hit, possibly mortally, l sprang at the
scoundrel's throat, sword in hand, intend
roadway, and put the point of my sword
10 his throat. and was going to run it
through him, when the other policeman
dashed up aud seized him. Thereupon l
tainted"
In an interview with NJ. Houkier, chief
inspector of police, the latter is quoted as
saying that Breton displayed extraordi-
narO GOODNESS during his examination.
Continuing. NJ. Houkier said:
Il know him by sight; l have seen him
in Paris or London. 1t is my belief that
be mas just arrived from London. This is
partly confirmed by the fact that he was
wearing Euglish-made shirts. Moreover
when he saw me he said Hello, you are
Houkier.' When the prisoner was meas
ureG'he was found to have his body scrup-
ulously clean. This and other details
show that he was not starving working
man, but in q comfortable position. He
is well educated and is not carpenter as
he pretends. His linen is marked "A. M
We believe that we shall soon establish
his identity"
ANARCHIST LITERATURE.
LONDON, Feb. l3-The Pail Mall Gazette
states this afternoon that villainous
leaflet, printed in French, is being freely
circulated. The leaflet announces that its
authors will destroy the bourgeoisie un-
less their demands are conceded and inn
plorss their comrades to execute justice
upon their enemies of all ages and both
sexes.
Another leaflet aims against society in
England. 1t is printed in English and
urges the desirablity of setting fire to
London in hundred places in order to
monopolize the attention of the police
while the anarchists loot the city.
The Gazette adds that there is no reason
why the same atrocities as were perpetrat-
ed by foreign anarchists at Chicago should
not occur, SO long AS the people tolerate
anarchists, who daily and nightly are
preaching wholesale murder.
