lilo Of che chief magistrate Of Franco.
Consequently both these towns have
been secured by detectives since Mon.
day morning. santo has from tho first
claimed that no acted entirely on his
bis own initiative and that no had no
nccompllces. Tho police noon formed o
different opinion and believed tina. he
followed out carefully laid plan, ra-
coivinG instructions and advice ut tho
different towns he Visited. Tho dctec-
tlves who haVo been at work Mt Mont
pelier decided TO surround and seurch
tho house oil aman named Granior, sup
posed to be an anarchist, and a possible
accomplicc OF Santo. Granicr, it ap-
pears, during last Sunday afternoon pre-
Vlous to tho attack upon tho president,
was heard to romark: "By this time
Cnrnot must have received his ouietus."
Ae tho president was not stabbed un-
Ill late tho same evening it was natural
ly concluded whom the nova OF the out
rage became public and whom It was
ehoTn that Santo visited Montpelicr
that Grauier must have known that m
attempt was TO bc made upon tho lifo
OF the president.
When GrRuler's house was surround.
cd tho detectives burst in the door and
summoned tho anarchist to surrender.
Granicr, who wns seated Mt q table eat
ing his supper, sprang to his feet and,
Tor q moment, stood motionless with
surprise. Then with surprising swift.
ness and before the detectives could &C.
cure him, ho picked up long and sharp
knife and plunged it into his abdomen
and with few swift turns OF tho wrist
disemboweled himself and fell to tho
floor, where no expired almost immp-
diatoly.
Tho police then commenced thor
ough search OF Granier's lodgings and,
according TO report, q quantity Of an.
aEchlstic literature was discovered, to-
Eether with documents which connect
Santo with Granier and othors 10 tho
conspiracy which resulted in the muir
der OF President Garnet. Iu any ca.e
the police authorities admit that they
have established beyond a doubt that
Santo, Granier and the man named
Laborier, who was arrested on Monday,
and others not yet in custody, plotted
the death Of President Carnot in order
TO avcpge the executions OF Ravachol,
valiant and Henry, al, Of whom before

The police expect to make important
arrests shortly.
Santo will be tried, ms already an.
nounccd, on July %. at Lyons, but tho
charge against him will be parricide,
instead OF murder. Article XIII OF tho
