through one OF the doors, but was
driven back by soldier, who levelled
his bayonet at him. Valiant then
went into the rcfreshment room, where
his wounds wero bandagcd by DR..
Merlon. one Of the deputies. Valiant
then walked about tle- building until
one of the stenographers Of the
chamber, NJ. Paulli, called the
attention Of the commissary Of police
to his demeanor. Questioned by the
commissary, Valiant said that he was
Marched, living in Choisse 10 Roi, and
he was anxious to get home. Ho was
taken to the department OF the prefcct-
ure OF police, while detectives wero sent
to his home. They found that his right
name was Valiant. Tho prisoner was
then transferred to the hospital, where

complexion and wore heavy mustacbe,
his features were coarse and hard and
his whole appearance repellent His
forehead was wide, his eyes large,
round and expressive, aud his cars
large and flappy.
To the Judge OF instruction Valiant
told how he had made and threw the
bomb. He said that he obtained one
hundred francs from prosperous mill
tant Anarchist for the purpose
OF arranging for a grand COUP.
This. after some reflection, he
decided should take place IN
tho chamber OF deputies, and ho at once
set about procuring the, materials. He
purchased the chemicals in small quun-
titles at various shops, pretending that
he was dyer and wanted them for use
in his business.

terial enough&sjr his purpose. The ar
rangenlent OF the tube which was in tho
bomb he found especially Troublesome.

tube should be narrow. He warmed
the tube over candle, and when 1t was
sufficiently heated he twisted it SO

before he fixed one to his sa.isfac-
tion. Then he put the tube III
sauce pan, first filling ono end
with picric acid. A cotton plug
was in tho middle Of tho tube and green
powder in tho other end. The closed
end was surrounded with powder. The
rest of tho saucepan he filled with three
pounds Of nails.
cAREoT REFUSED TO INTERFERE.
After his conviction many memorials
and petitions were addressed to
President Carnot. who turned
them over to tho pardon committee.
On January 25, the bearing Of
his appeal was heard and it was dccid-
cd that there were nogrounds on which
to grant 1t, aud 1t was therefore
rejected. The only hope that remained
for Valiant was in President Carnot
who had it in his power. to pardon or
j commute tho sentence, but Carnot re.
fused to interfere. Il
