IDENTIFICATION OF THE ASSASSIN.
Beardless Young Man and an italian
Anti-Foreign Mob Dispersed.

Bcardless Young Man and an italian
Anti-ForeiGn Mob Dispersed.
The assassin is an Italian named Cesare
Giovanni Santo He is beardless young
man, 90 or % years old. When arrested
he was attired in brown suit and wore a
peaked cap that matched the suit in color.
As he marched under his police guard
from the Rue dc Ia Bepublique to the sta
ton he held his head down, but his eyes
glanced furtively around as though he
was seeking an opportunity to escape
from his captors. To have made such an
attempt, however, would have been the
height OF foolhardincss, unless he desired
TO commit suicide, for there is not the
slightest doubt that had he got away
frcm the protection of the police he would
have been torn limb from limb by the
crowd, whose every action showed that
they were tbirsting for his blood.
Santo, who speaks French badly, when
questioned by Prefect Lepin az the police
smtion at Rue Moliere, said he had lived
ut Cette, department of Uerault, for the
past six months, and had only come to
Lyons yesterday. He gave his age ut -
years. His replies were given coolly, but
without any sign of bravndo. He re-
fused, however, to answer any of the
many questions put to him regarding his
motive for stabbing the president, declar-
ing that on this subject he would speak
only before a tribunal. When he was
searched by the police book was found
in one of his pockets in which it was writ
ten that he had been born in village in
the province of Milan, Italy.
After NJ. Carnot had been taken to the
prefecture ii became generally known that
his assassin was an Italian and the feeling
OF deep Indignation among the crowd
found vent in the form of attacks upon
cafes kept by inotfensive natives of Italy
Three such places in the vicinity of the
Palace OF Commerce were totally wrecked
by the iufuriated mob. French flags were
then procured by the crowd and with cries
OF Down with the foreigners" ''Out
with them" hundreds of men and boys
marched to the Rue de Ia Barre, in which
Street the Italian consulate is situated
There is no doubt that the consulate would
have been sacked had it not been for the
prompt action of the police who stopped
the crowd and compelled its members to
disperse.

oner was not safe, for men in the crowd
made frantic endeavors to reach him. The
guards repelied these attacks with the
Hat sides of their swords, while at tie
same time keeping watchful eyes upon the
crowd to prevent the prisoner from being
shot. Maledictions We're hurled upon the
captive and never before has such a wild
Indignation against a human being been
seen in this city.
In the meantime physicians were hasti-
ly summoned to attend the president. who
had almost Immediately been conveyed to
the prefecture. a careful examination
was made of the wounds and the doctors
declared that the condition of N. Carnot
was hopeless but later bulletin was is
sued TO the effect that the presidents con-
dition was alarming, but not hopeless;
that 'the wound is in the region of the
liver. The henorrhage which was at
first corious has now ceased"
After examining the presidents wound
ell the physicians in attendance upon him
agreed that an operation was necessary,
whereupon DIR. Ollier immediately probed
the wound. While this was being done
NJ. Carnot came to his senses and said
feebly, but distinctly: "How YOU are
hurting me-" The doctors, however, con-
tinued TO attend the wound, the outward
bleeding of which had stopped. They
knew, though. that the presidents condi-
tlon was extremely grave, as they more
than suspected that internal hemorrhaCe
had commenced.
En- route TO the prefecture the carrince
containing the wounded president crossed
the route of the police guard conveying
the assassin to the police station On ar
rival at the prefecture General Borius. the
prefec; and the mayor alighted. Presi-
dent Carnot lay motionless and uncon-
scious upon the cushions of the carriage.
His eyes We're closed. His waistcoat was
| unbottoned, and his shirt, on which the
bright red Gordon Of the Legion of Honor
was conspicuous, was covered on the left
side just over the heart by large blood
stain which extended to the hip. II was
impossible to tell from his appearance
whether he was dead or alive. General
Borius, the prefcct and the mayor, assisted
by number of attendants, lifted NJ. Car
not from the carriage, and with difficulty
carried him rs tenderly rs possible to a
room on the first floor of the prefecture
and laid him on a bed. Then the exam
ination of the wound was made

stood trembling as she gazed at the
face of the dead, but shed no tears,
though all about her were weeping.
The officers retired, leaving the wild
ow and her sons with their dead hus-
band and father.

M. Rivaud, prefect of Lyons, who was
seated beside NJ. Curnot, Immediately
struck the assassin blow full in the face
and knocked him from the step, this pre-
venting the man from again stabbing the
president, which it was his evident inten-
tion to do. Instantly cries of lie president

heard on every side, and the crowd in the
vicinity of the carriage swelled to enormous
proportions. every member of it SEEM

was grasped by dozen hands, and his
life would have then and there paid the

Blows were aimed Mt his face and head
over the shoulders of the police, who had
by this time received reinforcements and
many Of the blows landed fairly. ct last
the police succeeded in driving the howl
ing mob back foot or SO from their
prisoner, but to get the captive through
the crowd was n physical impossibility.
In the meantime the news Of the ut
tempted murder had spread with light
ning-like rapidity aud mounted guards
were sent to the aid of the police, who
were still struggling to preserve the life
Of the assassin. With drawn sabres in
their hands the guard rode down into the
crowd. The crowd gave way before the
horses and at last the centre of the mob
was reached.

mony in the disbarment proceedings
brought by ex-senator u. N. Sabin
against Attorney j. y. Searles is being
taken, and some Father sensational de-
yelopments brought out. Sahin claims
that while Searles ,eas in his employ and
confidence. he learned of matters that he
afterward used to Sabin's disadvantage,
going over to the enemy in several impor
tant law suits, in one instance involving
the title to several Thousand acres of pine
land sold by Sabin TO Fred Weyerhauser
of Rock Island.
Searles became connected with another
syndicate and filed claims on the land,
involving considerable litigation. Searles
claimed that he did not know Sabin had
any interest in the land, but the prosecu-
tion sprung surprise in the shape of the
agreement whereby Sabln had purchased
it, which paper had been drawn up by
Searles himself.
