Day on Trial.

PARIS, JAN 1O-August E. Valiant. the
Anarchist who threw the bomb into the
Chamber of Deputies on Dec. "a, was tried
to-day and sentenced to death.
The prisoner was arraigned in court this
morning No time was lost in preliminaries.
During Vailant's examination, and in reply
to the charge of the public prosecutor that
he had been several times in prison for
theft the prisoner exclaimed fiercely: THE
unjust conditions of society were RESPONSE
BILE for what you are pleased to term rob-

the presiding judge. Valiant said that he
conceived the idea of blowing up the Cham

view. Later on, when questioned regard
ing the actual explosion of the bomb, Vail,
liant said that he regretted the bomb did
not have the effect he desired, and .ex-
planned that this owing to the fact
that one of his neighbors in the gallery
of the Chamber of Deputies accidentally
knocked his arm while he was in the act
of throwing the loaded missile at the Depu-
ties. At this point of the examination the
presiding Judge turned to the prisoner and
said:

wondering what had become of him. Capt.
Barney had often made inquiries since the
war regarding Hewitt, but could never get
any information concerning him. His sur
