shouted 'Long Live Anarchyi" just Be-
fore the Blade Fell.

Of the explosion in the cafe of the Hotel |
Terminus, was guillotined at 4:14 o'clock |
this morning.
just as day was breaking the anarchist |
was led from the Prison de la Roquette to |
the instrument Of death that stood just |
outside the prison walls in the Place de la |
Roquette. As the gate swung open to al !
low Of the passage of the condemned man
and those who accompanied him the
crowd that had gathered to witness the
execution repeated in subdued tones
"IIere he comesp and then the prisoner
came into view As he passed between
the portals of the prison he showed no
signs Of trepidation. On the contrary, he
wore the same air of braggadocio that had
marked his conduct during the trial, and
as he stepped outside the gate the silence
was broken by the ery Of "Vive Pan
archiel" which broke from his lips.
From the Place Voltaire TO the Boule
ward de Menilmontant the Rue de la Ro-
quette was packed with humanity except
the space Immediately in front of the pris-
on, in the center of which stood the gull
lotine. The crowd was kept from infring
ing on this space by IA strong guard Of
troops and gendarmes.
Soldiers and policemen were also sta
toned In the adjacent streets and about
the Prison des Jeunes Detenus, which is
situated on the opposite side of the Place
de la Roquette from the Roquette prison.
Their presence. however, was not needed
to keep order, as the crowds of people
present made up chiefly of the lowest
classes Of the population, made no disor-
derly demonstrate Gendarmes, with
drawn swords, silently surrounded the
guillotine awaiting the coming Of the
doomed man.
Shouted "Vive rAnarchiei"
At 4;l2 o'clock the little gate In the large
gates Of the prison swung open, and deb
ler the public executioner, passed through.
he was dressed in black and wore the
inevitable high hat that he dons when
officiating at an execution. Following
him came q priest, who was reciting al
most inaudibly the prayers of the church
for the dying, although henry had refused
TO accept his ministrations.
Then came Henry in his shirt sleeves
and with his arms pinioned. Though he
tried to assume "A nonchalant air, his face
was deathly pale, and his eyes glittered
like those of maniac. Beyond this he
showed no sign that he feared TO meet the
awful fate in store for him. As he emerged
one else, 81 am not allowed to walk prop
erly," referring to the manner in which he
was pinioned.
Then raising his eyes he saw those await
ing his coming, and he at once cried:
Courage, comrndesl Vive lanarehiem
The walk to the guillotine was exceed
ingly short As the party advanced the
gendarmes aaluted the condemned man,
as Is their custom Henry paid no atten-
tioh to them, but with his eyes fixed on
the instrument OF death walked steadily
TO it,
Here, with the speed born Of long prac-
tice, he was seized by the assistants of
Deibler and bound to the bascule which
was at once tipped down and SID forward
until the bare neck Of the doomed man
rested I'm the lunette.
Then the knife Dropped.
Then there was fash as the heavy, gilt
tering knife dropped.
At the same moment Henry cried out
again, "Vive ranmchiew and then there
was silence. The head Of the anarchist
dropped into the basket in front Of the
! guillotine, while a torrent Of blood flowed
onto the deep layers of sawdust placed al
tho head of the guillotine
The headless trunk was quickly unbound
from the plank on which IL rested, and, to
| gether with the head, IL was hastily de
! posted in the coffin prepared for it. Their
the coffin was placed in the black van thai
is a feature of every execution in Paris
and the remains We're hurriedly conveyed
TO the "turnip field" the burial place o
executed criminals, where il was inferred
As the van was driven away the crowd
laughing and joking, dispersed.
Henry was sleeping soundly when b
was awakened by the director of the pris
on, who, as soon as the prisoner was arous
ed. told him that the day Of his death ha
come aud advised him to have courage t
meet his fate. Henry made no reply, bu
got up at once He was offered food an
drink but he refused 20 take anything.
Then Deibler entered the cell TO prepar
him for the guillotine. AS the executions
entered Henry said, "Ah it is you, Dell
lern lie did not speak again until b
Z emerged from the prison.
As soon as the knife had fallen many {
the spectators left the Place de la R
ouette. and when the van containing al
body drove away there were only con
paratively few remaining.
B AS the wagon went away some of Il
