PARIS. June 2S.-A dispatch from
Montpelier, capital of the department
of Heranit, announcts an anarchist
tragedy growing out of the efforts Of the
police to discover the accomplices of
Cesario Santo, the assassin OF President
Carnot.
Cette and ndMontpelier. both In the same
department. have been mentioned as
places where SantO stopped while max
ing his way to1yons with the intention
of taking the life of the chief magistrate
OF France. Consequently both of these
towns have been secured by detectives
since Monday morning.
SantO has from the first claimed that
he acted on his own initiative. and that
he had no accomplices. The police soon
formed different opinion, and believed
that he followed out carefully laid
plan. receiving Instructions and advice
at the different towns he visited.
The detectives who have been at work
III Montpelier decided to surround and
search the house of man named Gra-
nier, supposed to be an anarchist anc a
possible
ACCOMPLICE OF sANTo.
Granier, it appears. during last Sun
day afternoon, previous to the attack
upon President Carnot, was heard to
remark:
"By this time ,Carnot must have
received his quietus."
AS the. president was not stabbed
until late the same evening. il was nat
uraily concluded whep the news of the
outrage became public. and when it
was shown that's -Santo had visited Mont
pelier, that Granier must have known
that an attempt was to be made upon
tue life of the. president. -.
When Granier's house was surround
ed the detectives burst iu the door and
summoned the anarchist to surrender.
Granier, who was seated at table eat
ing his supper. sprang to his feet, an d
for moment stood mo.ionless with
surprise. Then, with surprising swift
ness, and before the detectives could
secure him. he picked ND a long and
sharp knife and plunged it into his alb
domen, and. with few swift turns of
the wrist. disemboweled himself and
fell to the floor. where he expired
almost Immediately. The police then
commenced a thorough search Of Gran
ier's lodgings, and. according to report.
aquantity of anarchistic literature was
discovered, together. with documents
which connect Santo with Granier with
THE CONSPIRACY
which resulted in the murder of Presi-
dent Carnot. LIN any case the police
authorities admltttiat they have estab-
lished beyond DOUBT that Santo, Gra-
nier and the man named Laborie, who
was arrested on Monday. and others not
yet in custody plotted the death of
executions of Ravachol. Valiant and
Henri. all of whom before dying an
n0nnced that their deaths would be
avenged. This, of course. was looked
upon as mere anarchist clustering at
the time the threats were uttered. The
police expect to make important arrests
shortly. Santo will be tried, as already
announced. on July %. at Lyons. but
the charge against him will be parricide
instead Of murder Article 13 of the
code DEGREES that all attempt against the
head OF the state is to be SO described
and punished. When Santo shall have
been condemned to death and the hour
of his execution has arrived he will be
conducted 10 the place of execution in
his shirt, barefooted. and with his head
covered by black veil. The condemned
man will stand upon the scatfoid while
all officer of the law addresses the peo-
pie, and refers to the enormity OF the
crime committed. Santo will then be
