all my might into the center of the
closely packed stalls where a group of
select people were sitting and a fine
explosion followed the landing of the
boom then threw the other one
almost immediately afterwards but |
don't believe it exploded or should
have killed a nice lot of the bourgeois,
as | aimed it with particular care at
the portion of the theater where that
class was thick. OF course there was
terrible panic after the explosion of
the bomb and before it had in any way
passed L was enabled TO get away, as
1 was already clear of the seats and so
had no difficulty in making for the
staircase and from there running down
into the street,
Franch then told how he remained
in hiding. supplied with all the news
by his brother anarchists. When ques-
toned as to where he procured the
bombs Franch said: II made them
myself according to prescribed form

people were killed"

family. He left home when only IA
years of age and went to Barcelona,
where he joined the anarchists society
