Henri is opposed to this plea, and against
his counsePs advice and his mothers en-
treaties has prepared a defense of his
acts which he will read to the court
The indictment charged him not only
with the Cafe Terminus outrage. but also
with the explosion in the Rue des B0Ds-
Enfsnts. The following is summary
of the Acte d'Aceusation, or the indict-
ment:
The prisoner was born in Spain, and in
company with his father sought refuge
after the events of 1871. Father and son
returned TO France in 1882. after the am
nesty, and young Henri was well edu-
Gated; but he became affiliated with the

employer dismissed him on account of his
taking part in the anarchist propaganda,
and after his departure docum ents relating
to the manufacture of explosives, etc.,
were found in his desk.
Henri then turned his attentjo to Jour-
nalism and was for a time attached to the
staff of Len d'Ehors. On November 20.

the Carmaux Mining Company which ap-
peared like castiron saucepan, the cover

ing the room. The bomb had been
wrapped in copy OF LIE Temps, on which
WAS an article relating to the arrest of
two anarchists. Emil Henri and his
brother. Investigation showed the latter
was in Bobeous on November s, when the
bomb exploded, and therefore suspicion
naturally fastened itself upon Emile Henri,
who disappeared Immediately afterward
and sought refuge IN England.
On December 20. 1898, Henri hired a
room in The Villa Faucex Rue des Envir-
ges, under the name of Louis Du Bots.
There he procured the necessary chemicals
to manufacture an explosive bomb, and
also purchased a saucepan similar to the
one which had caused the death of the
three men in the Rue des Bons Enfants.
In this iron he placed the explosives and
surrounded them by 120 bullets. smaller
and center cylinder of zinc containing the
chemical which was to cause the explosion.
Finally. the printing consisted of dyna-
mite cartridge having capita of illuminate
of mercury. to which was attached a fuse
calculated to burn in Is seconds.

Henri left his room after having notified
the porter that he would not return for
several days. carrying his bomb, lie
Valiant, attached to the belt of his
trousers, and concealed by his overcoat.
Henri was armed with revolver. the bull
lets of which he had previously chewed in
order that they might Go the most harm,
wounds inflicted by chewed bullets being
considered almost certainly fatal. He
also carried a dagger with poisoned
point.
Armed in this manner. Henri went
toward the Avenue de POpera and glanced
into the Restaurant BigDon and then went
to the Cafe American. Not finding these
places as full of wealthy looking people as
he expected, he went TO the Cafe de la
Paix, but even that establishment was not
full enough of his prospective victims. so
he continued on his way until he arrived
at the Cafe Terminus, situated beneath
the hotel of that name.
1t was about half past when hereacheG

with people, who were crowded around a
platform upon which an orchestra was
playing Henri entered and took a seat
at small table near the door, paid for a
glass Of beer. drank it, called for second
glass and then for cigar. He was wait
ing for the crowd to become larger.
At 9 O'Clock Henri took the lighted cigar
from his mouth and applied it to the fuse
attached TO the bomb. which he had con-
cealed upon his person. He then arose,
walked toward the door, and suddenly
turning around threw the bomb In the di-
rection of the orchestra. The bomb
struck the electric light chandelier and fell
to the ground. throwing out thick. black
smoke. A few seconds later the bomb ex-
ploded with dull defamation, tore deep

severely wounded seventeen people.

Henri drew his revolver and fired straight
at Etienie's breast. The bullet happily
struck large button and did not wound
the man, but the shock caused him to fall
senseless to the ground. Henri shot a
barber named Maurice and a policeman
named Poisson before he was over come.
When the police searched his room they
found that papers and discriminating mate

Replying to question from the Judge,
Henri said he selected the Cafe Terminus
to explode his bomb, because it was more
full of bourgeois than any other cafe.
