1EoN nRnroN. rHn ANARoaIsT
who Threw the Bomb in the Cafe Monday
Night, Before the Court


PARIS, February 13.-Leon Breton,
the anarchist waiter who threw a bomb
into a cafe, behaves with the most
cynical effrontery. When asked II he
had ever before appeared in police
court the prisoner sneeTingly remarked:
SIT is not my custom TO frequent such
places" In answer TO further Ques-
tions, Breton said that he had fired his
revolver at the police because in chas-
ing him after he had thrown the bomb
they drew their swords against him.
The prisoner was here interrupted by
one Of the policemen, who exclaimed:
"YOu fired at US when we were the
persens protecting you from being torn
TO pieces by the people"
To this Breton replied: THAT proves
that the people are a wretched lot. In
any case whether l die now or two
months later does not matter straw to
me-"
IL is now estimated that twenty or
more people were injured by Breton's
bomb and that five people were wound
ed By the revolver shots which he fired
while being pursued by or struggling
with the police.
When questioned as to his crime Bre-
ton said among other things: 81 am an
anarchist. The sooner the bourgeois
burst up the better"
Breton declines TO reveal his identity,
but il is said be Is in all probability a
native of the Island of Jersey.
Among the injured in the cafe was
NJ. Beck, architect of the Chamber OF
Deputies, who is wounded in the arms
and legs, and man named Van Heer,
who has eight bullet wounds in his leg.
Another man named Michel is wounded
by pieces Of shell. Crowds Of people
are visiting the neighbOrhoOd of the
cafe to-day, and the police have their
hands full in keeping back the curious.
The interior of the cafe resembles a
place swept by cyclone and is the cen
ire OF attraction TO Parisiens to-day.
NJ Girard, director OF the Paris
Labolatory, after making an examina-
ton OF the scene Of the explosion and OF
the fragments of the bomb thrown by
Breton, saws that the missile was mada
out OF a small round canned meat box,
evidently made in England, where 1t is
suspected the boub itself was made.
The latter. according to Nj. Grard,
contained 200 grammes Of chlorate OF
potassium and picric acid, arranged in
3 manner similar to that Of the bomb
thrown by Valiant in the French
Chamber of Deputies.
During the course of the examina-
tion of the prisoner NJ Meyer suspected
the accuracy of the prisoners state
ments and said: 'I believe you are
living" Breton glanced angrily at the
Judge when the latter made this re-
mark, but the judge still insisted that
he did not believe him and ordered the
police to inquire into the prisoner
antecedentS Breton then became very
violent and when NJ. Meyer asked him
his motive for committing the crime,
Breton replied:
Il did il simply 20 give warning ia
the Oourgeoise government, whch is sc
callous to the poor. You have captured
me; but. others will come who will sue
ceed better than l.
After being subjected TO examination
for two hours, Breton was returned tC
Mazas prison.

LONDON, February 13.-The Pail
Mall Gazette states this afternoon that
a villaiLous Anarchist leaflet printed in
London, in French, is being freely cir
culated. The lea6et announces that
It's authors threaten TO destroy the
Bourgeois unless their demands are
conceded and implore their comrades 70
execute Justice upon their Bourgeois
enemies of all ages and Of both sexes.
Another leaiet aims against society
i'm England. 1t is printed in English
aud urges the desirability of setting fire
to London in a hundred places in order
to monoDoIize the attention Of the police
while the Anarchists loot the city.
The PGU McU Gazette adds that there
is no reason why the same atrocities as
were perpetrated by foreign Anarchists
at Chicago should not occur here so
long as the British public tolerates
Anarchists who, daily and nightly, are
preaching wholesale murder.
