gIIE CONDEMNED MAN SHOUTS FOR ANARCHY.
The iron doors swung slowly apart. Chaplain
Nalad!er walked in front. Henry was corded
more tightly than is usual. and over his
shoulders was black Jacket He was ghastiy
white, but walked With firm STEP AS he ap-
preached the platform he shouted:
Courage. comradesl Long live Anarchy"
HIS voice was not as loud as Nauants, ana
trenbled noticeably. Deibler's assistants whipped

plank, he shouted again:
Courage, Long live Anarchy
His neck did not fit the lunette properly as he
fell and Deibler gave him little tug forward
The click of the knife was heard the next
moment and Heny's head dropped 70 the
ground. De!bler himself picked up the head
from the sawdust. and threw it vciously into the
basket with the body.
VAIN APPEAL TO PRESIDENT CARNoT.
NJ. Hornbostel. Emile Henry's lawyer. had a
long audience with President Carnot Yesterday
He begged earnestly for a respite for the con-
demned Anarchist. but he was not able to make
strong case He realized that he was plead
ing a lost cause Nevertheless. he tried to work
upon the Presidents feelings by referring 10 the
centennial celebrations OF the Ecoie POlytech-
nique. TO which Henry all but obtained admis-
sion. and asking that the President give fitting
climax 10 the anniversary fctes by supreme
act Of grace toward a misguided youth, who h3d
been the victim of thwarted ambition. The
lawyer could obtain from the President only the
assurance that his remarks would be duly con-
sdered. This meant that Henrys fate was
sealed.
Two hours after NJ HornbOsters departure a
member Of the Presidents military household
took the death warrant 70 the PrOcureur Of the
Republic who ordered the Registrar 10 date 1t
ana send the necessary papers 10 the officials con-
eerned The most noteworthy % these papers
was the letter 10 the Governor of the Prison De
"a shoquete, ordering him 10 deliver 10 NJ Dcibler.
