PARIS, March ia dynamite bomb
was exploded this afternoon inside the
main entrance to the church of La
Madeline. The man who threw the
bomb WAS killed by the explosion. A
number OF others we're severely hurt.
Full particulars are unobtainsbls as the
police are in possession OF the church.
THE ASSASSIN SLAIN.
Aa soon as the explosion Was heard
the people rushed to the scene and some
who preceded the police entered the
building, found it filed with smoke an d
could hear the shrieka and groans, ap-
parently, of q number of wounded peo-
pie inside. Near q small door at the
right main entrance lay shattered hu-
man remains. They were those of the
man who threw the bomb. His inteatines,
brains and blood we're scattered over q
large area. On the body were q NAM
Der OF anarchist papers and portrait of
Ravachol, the executed anarchist. For
tunatelY few people we're in the church
at the time. The church was very little
damaged. 1t is supposed the man in
tended to explode the bomb while the
church was filed with worshipers at
the Lenten service later in the after
noon, and that the explosion at that
time was an accident. 1t seems the
door through which he entered opens
and shuts with q heavy spring. 1t is
believed this door swung against him SIS
be passed through and caused the accl-
dent.
THE MIsCREANT IDENTIFIED.
The corpse of the bomb thrower has
been removed from the church 10 a
morgue. After it arrived there, Dr..
Alphonee Bertillon made an anthropo-
letrical measurement Of the body and
found it eoincided with the Anarchist
Pauwells, who WAS an intimate friend of
the Anarchist Paul Reclua. A number
OF rivets, similar to those used BY skin
dreeaers, were found on the body and
Pauwells was a skin-dreaser. When the
body was lifted up 30 be taken to the
morgue, 1t was found that one OF the
hands tightly clasped revolver Both
hands were badly injured.
The bomb was filed with nails and
rivets, which literally ripped the sbdo-
men Of the anarchist into Hhreds.
