F,ARls. Feb. 10. - After considerable
trouble the police have finally established
th q identity of the man who threw the
bomb In the cafe Of the Hotel Terminus
tsnday night. The authorities believed
elsat the name Leon Breton" given by
Oh man when he was arrested, was an
~ las, and inquiries to establish his iden-
u lty were pursued in every direction.
II has now been ascerrained that his
tight name is Emile Henry. He was born
a of French parents In Barcelona, Spain, on
Sept. 20, 1872 He recently lived ia Lon
don, where the police knew him to be an
anarchist.
The English police were aware that he
had left London on Jan. IS last, and pro-
ceeded direct to Paris, where be has been
aimee.
Henry has confessed that. this Ia his
name. He wrote his name In the note
book of Inspector Duchatel, who knew
Rim long ago az an anarchist. but who
had lost sight of him for some time past.
Inspector Duchatel subsequently, ascer-
.ained that Henry lived in London for a
rear. and the police were advised of his
arrest In Paris. Reports from the detec-
tives, concerning the whereabouts of
Henry, were received at the prefecture Of
police In January. Henry was not at
work when these reports were made, but
before he went to London he was em-
ployed as an errand boy for firm Of fur
niture dealers.
Had No Accomplice.
Henry remarked" said Duchatel,
'that he alone was responsible for the ex-
plosion in the cafe. adding that Valiant
was child to put nails in his bomb In
order to blow up the bourgeoisie. Henry
said that there was better material than
that to be had, and he was surprised that
his bomb did not have more effect than it
did,
Henry Is guarded by two detectives. who
have instructions, according to the French
custom, to endeavor TO induce the pris-
oner TO talk.
The prefect of police had . two hours
conference with the minister Of the in
terror yesterday afternoon, and 1t Is re-
ported that the police official has received
adviccs from the police Of London TO the
effect that the explosion at the Hotel
Terminus was only part of . scheme
which Henry and certain of his compan-
ions had arranged before leaving London.
Police Locking For Others.
II was tho intention of Henry and his
accomplices, according to the London ad-
vices, TO commit as many outrages as
possible, and IL is believed that the pris-
oner's associates will be heard from In
some manner before long. The police OF
this city are engaged in an active search
for Henry's fellow-conspirators.
The police yesterday afternoon took an
other photograph of Henry, which shows
him to have short stiff hair, restless eyes
and youthful face. The prisoner, ac-
cording to the police, undoubtedly came
from London in company with three
other anarchists, and the London police
assert that they have information which
leads them to believe that Henry and his
accomplices had planned an explosion In
the Paris Opera house. which was to in
clude the cutting OF Of the gas supply,
thus preventing the attendants from light
ing up the place after the explosion.
1t is stated that the police, who have
been on the trail of Henry's fellow-con-
spirators, are now close upon them.
A bundle Of anarchist leaflets, printed
in England, in addition to those reported
from Algiers, are Ia the possession Of the
police, These contain threats to murder
President Carnot, and threaten the lives
of ministers and magistracy.
