MADRID, Jan. 3. The police have
been looking for Salvador Franch, an
anarchist leader, ever since the LYceo
theatre bomb throwing. He was finally
located IN respectable house at Sara
goss and the house was completely
si51lounded by police in citizens cloth
~. Slowly but surely the net was
closed, the police entered the house I'M
observed, and a number of the most dar.
ing OF the officers suddenly burst in the
eoor OF the room occupied by Franch,
and, revolver in hand, dashed into the
apartment '7r and called upon the anarch-
lst to surrender, at the same time cover
ing him with their pistols. Franch,
enough taken by surprise, drew d pistol
and was upon the point of killing the
leader of the police when he rapidly
changed his mind, and, turning the pis-
tol towards his own right side, he
Shot Himself Beneath the Arm.
This movement, however, had been
noticed by the police and they grappled
with nm in time to prevent. the an
archist from killing himself, though the
bullet Which he fired into his side pene-
trated his chest, but the leaden missile
came out again three inches from the
spot Where it entered his chest.
A terrible struggle between the police
men and the anarchist followed, two
officers OF the number being covered
with blood by the time they We're able
to reduce the desperate man to anything
ike subsection. When this was done
the police began to sea, ca their captive,
believing him to be too weak from loss
OF blood to make any further effort to
take his life. In this, however, they
We're mistaken, for French, watching;
his opportunity, suddenly
Drew j Tiny Phil of Poison
from a secret pocket, and before the
police could prevent him he had placed
1t to his lips. This motion was noticed
by the police who We're searching him
and they succeeded in knocking the
bottle OF poison from his mouth. When
taken before the magistrate the le-
haVlor OF the prisoner was desperately
violent. He struggled with his captors
and continued his anarchist threats and
curses and loudly avowed his completely
ID the Lyceo theatre outrage
Expressing Fiendish Regret
that more people were not killed and
that he was not able to carry out further
and more bloody outrages. This seemed
to be the prisoners only regret, as he
cursed and swore, claiming that the ex-
listing state OF society must he de-
stroyed even if the people had to wade
in blood in order to do so.
After the prisoners preliminary exam
nation before the magistrate, he was
placed in the doctors hands, and almost
immediately reduced to a state of insen-
sibility, in order that efforts might be
made to safe his lie in the interests of
Justice. The examination of the doctors
showed that his wounds were more dam
gerous than at first supposed, though it
is believed that the physicians will sue
coed in saving his life.
AS soon as Franch is able to be moved
he will be conveyed under a strong es-
cort to Barcelona where his trial will
take place upon several charges, first of
which will be completely, already con-
fessed, in the Lyceo theatre outrage.
