Continued rom Frs, Pdoe.)

ODeF tHAt not one OF MS luInlIy was
or had been Ueak-minded.
The Presiding Judge then turned to the
prisoner and said: "Slnce your arrest
did you write to your mather SAYING
that you killed the President from AN
archist motives? Are those your
words?'
yes" replied Caserio, with great in
difference.
4 "POseur' as n Child.
The Judge then recalled the fact that
Caserio had, as child. figured as a
poscur In the religious professions of
tta-Visconti his native town, for the
beauty of the prisoner, as a child, was
remarkable. and until he fell under the
spell OF Anarchlsm two years ago he
was much drawn to a life in the service
OF religion.
Then the Anarchists infiammatory
literature excited Caserio 30 much that
the attention of the authorities was
drawn TO his dangerous utterances. and
a warning hint Was sent to his family.
Anarchism's Poison.
But tho poison of the doctrines was
incurably In his veins, and after some
ups and downs. notably five months In
prison for distributing Anarchist leaf
let's outside the barracks at Milan. Ca
serio planned and executed the despicable
decd for which he is now on trial.
In reply to the Judges questions in
regard to his childhood and his taking
part In religious professions. Caserio
answered mockingly: Children do not
know what they are doing"
Judge Breuillac then examined Caserio
at length as to his connection with
| Anarchy. During this examination the
President said: "Your family tried 10
wean you from these horrible doctrines"
Yet lie Loves mis- Mother.
TO this the prisoner replied: II love
my mother. but | cannot submit to her
prejudices or 20 my family's prejudices.
There is the larger family OF humanity"
In spite of the repeated efforts OF the
Judge to draw from the prisoner some
statement in regard to his connection
with other Anarchists. Caserio alb
solutely refused to to answer any ques-
lions upon this subject, being especially
dumb when the Judge sought to OK
tract from him information as to the
, means adopted by Anarchists to COM
municate with each other. and as to his
immediate associates In Anarchism.
The prisoner was then questioned
about his movements at Cette and other
places previous to the assassination.
During this portion of the trial Judge
Breuillac remarked: your relations
were always with Anarchists"
Could Not ConsOrt with bourgeois.
Naturally" replied the prisoner, II
could not consort with the bourgeois"
The Presiding Judge afterwards ques-
TONED the prisoner concerning how
much money he had remaining after he
had paid his bill at Cette, asking: What
did you do with the remaining five
francs"
- bought a polniard." replied Caserio
deiiantly.
After this reply from the prisoner. the
Carnot was brought into court and
shown to the jury. the President saying:
Take care. gentlemen. Do not touch
the blade. 1t Is relic which must be
precious.y preserved"
Cascrio Causes nm Uproar.
Caserio then recounted the details of
his journey from Cette to Lyons. tell
Ing how he finally arrived at the Palais
de Commerce. where President Carnot
vas being banqucted.
Had you no ideu OF changing your
plans?' asked the Judge. Did you not
reflect that 1t was the anniversary of
the Battle OF Solferino?'
PRECISELY" Caserio answered cit was
a fete of the civil wal"
A prolonged uproar in court followed
this remark. and the Judge had to wait
until 1t had subsidized before he resumed
questioning the prisoner.
The prisoner then narrated the Incl
dents OF the tragedy. saying:
when I was opposite the gate
whence the President was about to
emerge. I knew that persons OF mark
always sit on the right side of the car
rage. Therefore, crossed to the right
hand side of the pavement I had
trouble In keeping in the second row
OF spectators. as so many people were
anxious to get a glimpse of the Presi-
dent.
AT Q o'clock there was a buzz OF ex-
element as President Carnot was en-
tering his carriage. The people cried,
Nive Carnot, 'Vive la Republlque.'"
Csrnot's Courtesy to the People.
The presiding Judge at this point in
terrupted the prisoner. recalling the fact
that the late Presidents instructions to
his escort were to leave an open space
facing the doors OF the carriage, SO as
10 allow people to approach him II they
were DESTROYS OF presenting petit
lions, &c, as many persons were de-
srous of handing bouquets to the
President. and some of them might
have taken the opportunity to present
to the Chief Magistrate a request In
favor OF some loved one In trouble,
Caserio paid but very little attention
to the remarks of the Judge. and when
the latter had done speaking he pro-
ceeded in a careless tone, which con-
trasted painfully with the deep emotion
exhibited by the audience. When the
prisoner resumed his story of the ter
riblc crime, he said:
Murderers Own story of Murder.
II laid my left hand on the carriage
and hustled aside young man who was
in my way. Then l made a dash at
the President and dealt him violent

stuck fast In his breast and my hand
