Brother Serving a Sentence for In
citing to Murder-wooed and Won a
Rich Widow in Spain-Known as an
Anarchist Speaker.
Paris, Feb. 14-After consi derable
trouble the police have finally established
the identity of the man who threw the
bomb in the cafe of the Hotel Terminus,
Monday night The authorities believed
that the name "Leon Breton" given by
the man when he was arrested, was an
alias and inquiries to esta blish his iden-
tity were pursued in every direction. 1t
has now been ascertained that his right
name is Emile Henry. He was born of
French parents, in Barcelona, Spain, on
Sept. 90, 1872. He recently lived in Lon
don, where the police knew him to be an
anarchist. The English police, it appears,
were aware that he had left London Jan.
Is last, and proceeded direct to Pans,
where he has been since.
A bomb was found this morning in the
doorway of the Banque de Ia Societe
Generate. 1t is now in the hands of the
police, who are having the contents ex-
amined.
HIS FATHER FUGITIVE.
In an extra edition the Temps admits
that the bomb thrower's name is not
Emile Henry Breton, but simply Emile
Henry. Police COmmissary Bernard ex-
amined the records at the Serbonne and
found it to be true that Henry was gradu-
ated there in the department of sciences
after winning state scholar
ship. Henry's father was a colonel of
the commune. was condemned to death,
and was forced to flee for his life. He
went to Spain with his wife and died
there. His wife returned to France with
her two sons, Emile and Fortune, and
made her home in Brevennes, nineteen
miles from Paris. She still keeps little
grocery store in that village. Her neigh
bors say that Emile was a quiet, we'll
behaved boy when at home. He
has not been in the village, however,
for several years. Fortune, bis brother,
was regarded as the unruly and reckless
member of the family. He is now serving
a three years term in Clairvaux prison
for melting to murder. Emile Henry's
last place of residence in Paris, as far as
the police can ascertain, were single hold
ings at the Place de la Republique and in
the Rue Veron.
STUDIED sPIRITUALIsM.
While in this city Henry studied spir-
itualism with special interest Besides
working industriously in the physical
sciences, he read widely IN French litera-
ture. Two years ago he gave up manual
labor to devote much of his time to writ
ing for anarchist journals, in which he
published one time defense of the prop
aganda of action. Since Henry outgrew
his boyhood the police have been watching
him on account of his association with an
archists, and when he last left Brevennes
to 20 to London he barely escaped arrest.
He was arrested in Paris Immediately
after Ravochel blew up the Cafe Very,
but was released after two days deten-
ton because no proof against him could
be obtained. During confinement. how
ever, he was photographed and measured
by the officials of the anthropometric de
partment
MARRIED RICH WIDOW.
After a short sojourn in London he
went to Spain, where he fell in love with
rich widow From her he secured
money to pay his expenses while he
travelled about preaching anarchism. He
is said to have been in America within
the last six or seven months, and to have
been imprisoned there for a short time
owing to his violent speeches or dis
orderly conduct. Henry was last en-
ployed in Paris by M. Dupuy, decora.
tive sculptor in the Rue de Rocroy.
NJ. Dupuy said to-day: Henry earned
10 lIdllGS ulOUbH WDcu Ilc was WIN ME.
He was a good workman, and l never had
the slightest reason to complain of him.
He left without notice, and | learned
afterward that the police were after him
because he had delivered violent ora
tion concerning the explosion in the Rue
des Bons Enfants. He did this on the
very night when the explosion occurred. -
PAUL BERNARD ARRESTED.
The anarchists here were astonished to-
day by the arrest of Paul Bernard, one OF
the anarchist chiefs who exercised SUI
preme influence among the various
groups. Bernard had been several times
condemned for provoking to murder,
arson and pillage. His latest
conviction was had in November, 1890
when he fed to Barcelona. In that city
he organized a party and planned the
Xeres conspiracy, which resulted in four
anarchists being garroted. He was ar
rested on the charge Of being concerned
in this conspiracy, but, proof being lack
ing, he escaped conviction. He then re-
turned TO Barcelona. He was the princi-
pal devisor of the attack with
bomb on Gen. MARTINEZ de
Campos, for which Pallas was shot,
and he it was who arranged the outrage
at the Lyceum theater in Barcelona.
When he was arrested he was carrying a
sword-cane. Letters from valiant were
found in his possession. 1t is stated that
these letters prove that he was concerned
in the recent outrage in the Chamber OF
