as Hero.

as Hero.
Paris, April 27.-The trial of Emil
Henri, the anarchist who on February
u threw a bomb into a cafe beneath
the Hotel Terminus, began today. The
courtroom was crowded Great pre-
caution was taken by the police to
prevent a bomb outrage.
Maitre Hornbostel, Henri's defender,
will try to prove that Henri is insane.
Henri is opposed to this plea and
against his counsefs advice and his
mothers entreaties, has prepared a de-
Tense of his acts, which he will read to
the court.
The indictment charging him not
only with the Cafe Terminus outrage,
but also with the explosion in the Rue
des Bon Enfants. The following is a
summary of the acte de- accuse ton, or
the Indictment. The prisoner was
born in Spain, and in company with his
father sought refuge after the events
Of 1871. Father and son returned to
France in 1882, after the amnesty and
young Henri was well educated; but
he became affiliated with the anar--
chists and on May Ii, 1892, following
the first anarchist attempts, he was ar
rested but subsequently liberated His
employer dismissed him on account of
his taking part in the anarchist prop
uganda, and after his departure
documents relating to the manufacture
of explosives, etc, where found in his
desk.
Then He Turned Journalist.
Henri then turned his attention to
journalism, and was for a time at
tached to the staff of Len d'Ehors
On November 90 1892, an object was
found in the offices of the Carmaux
Mining company which appeared like
a cast-iron saucepan, the cover being
fastened on securely. 1t was given into
and as it was being carried away, ex-
ploded, killing two policemen and
wrecking the room. The bomb had
been wrapped in copy of LIE Temples,
on which was an article relating to the
arrest of two anarchists, Emil Henri
and his brother, Fortune. Investiga-
ton showed the latter was in Boubeos
on November 8, when the bomb ex-
ploded, and, therefore, suspicion natur-
ally fastened itself upon Emil Henri,
who disappeared Immediately after
wards and sought refuge in England
On December 80, 1893, Henri hired a
room in the Villa F'aucex, Rue des En-
virges, under the name of Louis Du-
bois. There he produced the necessary
chemicals to manufacture, an explosive
bomb, and also purchased saucepan
similar to the one which had caused
the death of the three men in the Rue
deS Bon Enfants. In this iron he placed
the explosives and surrounded them by
120 bullets, a smaller and center CYL
inder of zinc containing the chemical
which was to cause the explosion FL
nally, the printing consisted of dy-
Mantle cartridge having cap of full
inmate of mercury, to which was at
tached a fuse calculated to burn in
fifteen seconds.
CooIIy Calculated.
On February IL of the present year,
Henri left his room after having noti-
fed the porter that he would not return
for several days, and went away, carry
ing his bomb, like valiant, attached to
the belt of his trousers and concealed
by his overcoat Henri was armed with
a revolver, the bullets of which he had
previously chewed in order that they
might do the most harm, wounds in
f1icted by chewed bullets being consid-
cred almost certainly fatal. He also
carried dagger with a poisoned point.
Armed in this manner, Henri went to-
ward the Avenue de L Opera, and
J glanced into the restaurant Bignon and
