The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-08-02

soldiers being deployed in pickets upon
all approaches, while q double Gordon OF
troops surrounds tho building itself.
In addition, a company Of infantry was
posted in the entrance hall and q platoon
OF cavalry surrounded the prison van as
it was driven at q gallop from the prison
OF st. Paul to the court house. The same
escort will this evening take the prisoner
back to his cell.
The soldiers on duty about the Palace
Of Justice are supplemented by every va
riety of police official, from the local
gendarme to the shrewdest detective
officer from the Paris Prefecture.
Finally a large squad of policemen in
citizens dress were specially told on TO
furnish the audience, every seat available
being reserved in advance, according to
the program, for the detectives; but at
the last moment the program was
changed, and when the doors were opened
a waiting crowd was allowed to enter,
who densely packed all the available
space within the court room. Without
there was brilliant sunshine and within
there was suffocating heat, the only air
moving was that from a hundred fans,
notably in the gallery, where many ladies,
almost all young and gaily dressed, were
seated.
Many Newspaper Men Present.
"Over a hundecd specially selected
newspaper men were squeezed into q
space only large enough for about 20; and
these, owing to the -postponement of the
trial, made purposely by the
government to permit of the en-
actment of the new anti-Anarchist law,
find themselves under strict control, and
for the first time In the experience of
many of them, their "copy" will be
edited by the Judge presiding.
The Trial Viii he Short.
The trial is expected to occupy the
whole of today and part OF tomorrow.
There will be 10 long speeches,
the public prosecutor combining
himself to a forty minut
address. Twenty-eight indispensable wit
nesses have been called by the government
and they include all those who remem-
bered having spoken'to Cesario as he was
jo%urneying from Cette to Lyons; the
owner of the Lime Kiln, where Cesario
worked in 1893; the baker who employed
him at Cette; General Borius, the chief OF
the late Presidents military household
NJ. Rivaud, project of the department OF
Rhonc; the two men servants who sat on
the rumble of the late Presidents car
rage and DIR. Gailleton, the Mayor Of
Lyons.
To DIR. Gailleton the unfortunate
President was in the mids Of an exclama-
ton on the beauty Of the Examinations.
GLOW lovely, how charming, how grace
full" stammered Garnet, with suddenly
blanched face: "I-Tm struck" and
pointed to the wound from which the life
blood was flowing after the asssssin's dag
ger had been plunged into his abdomen.
The evidence OF Marcello Artigud, the
gunsmith of whom Cesario bought the
dagger, is expected to be very dramatic.
Several times before he paid for the wea-
pom Cesario tried to see whether he could
handle it properly, and several times, be-
fore the gunsmith, the assassin rehearsed
his idea of how he would stab his victim.
Will Defend Himself.
Santo proposes, practically, to defend
himself, and this will probably
prompt a long string OF irrelevant
remarks upon the testimony oil
the witnesses, apd the questions
of the judge. But the murderer will have
the assistance of M. Dubreuil, a Lyons
advocate of considerable standing in
criminal trials. Originally, after pressure
had been brought to bear upon
him by his mother, the prisoner agreed to
accept the services Of Signor Podreider, d
well known Milanese advocate. Later
NJ. Dubreuil was asked to assist, but on
July %, Signor Podreider having
thrown up his brief, M. Dubreuil took the
entire charge OF the case and within the
limits imposed by the prisoners inter-
ruptions, he will do all that can be de-
Gently lone in defense.
Melancholy Reminders.
The touch OF the gruesome, always
noteworthy in French trials, Les Pieces
a Conviction" (Exhibits) will be sup
piled by the instruments used in oper'
ating on the President, a drawing o.
the carriage In which the president wal
sitting when stabbed, C"sario's dagger
and the liver OF the murd red president
preserved in alcohol. The prisoncl
during his life i'm prison, ha'
apparently found time for Que regret onll
that he ran away after the deed. IL
himself his act Il justified, creditable
even glorious and he has been anxious Il
be tried quickly.
The Trial Opens.
The court opened at 9:l5 a. M, and TIL
