Over It's Verdict.
LYONS, August 4.-There were few
people around the Palace Of Justice
when the trial Of santo, ASSASSIN Of
President Carnot was resumed to-day.
The prisoner was even more defiant than
yesterday, and took his seat with q
mocking smile upon his face. Leblanc,
. fellow-prisoner with Csesario At Mar
settles. testified that Csesario told him
he intended 10 kill President Carnot,
probably at Lyons when the CHIEF
Magistrate visited that city.
THAT 10 lie," interrupted Caesario
excitedly. II never told you or any one
else anything about my plans. Le-
blanc continued: "CAesario confessed
TO me he was designated by lot" THAT
10 untrue" shrieked Caesario.
How untrue?' asked Leblanc, turn
ing to the prisoner. II said to you after
you had made that remark, But who
would be 70 bold - TO kill President
Carnot? ! saw him in Paris surrounded
by troops and police. You answered
He will be chosen by lot"
There was great excitement in court
while the prisoner and Leblanc were
speaking TO each other. Later Leblanc
said: "Caesario told me he had often
seen King Humbert in the streets. but
he added that TO kill him it would b
necessary to have . rife and shoot him
from the street. ~ he would be sur.
rounded by soldiers"
"That is Q lie," shouted the prisoner,
! w&s never chosen 70 kill President
Garnet; moreover, absolute liberty oil
action prevails among anarchists"
The Prosecuting Attorney reviewed
the details Of the trial and demanded
the jury not to hesitate TO do their duty.
At the conclusion OF the Public Prose.
cutor's speech there were visible signs
OF approval throughout the courtroom
At the denunciation OF anarchists, their
doctrines and their wretched tool Cae-
sario. whose life, the counsel declared.
the jury should render to Justice, the
law and the riyhtful demand OF civilized
society.
The prisoner smiled with contempt
during the Public Prosecutors address,
and then in common with all present he
paid close attention TO the remarks OF
his counsel, NJ. Dreuibelli, whose appeal
for the prisoner lasted half An hour and
Was based upon the following points:
There wAs lunacy in the prisoners
family: his anarchistic surroundings
the impossibility OF reconciling the as
sassin's religious life with premeditated
murder.
Under the law the presiding Judge
prohibited the publication OF the chief
portion OF NJ. Dreuibellis address. At
the conclusion OF his counsel's remarks
Caesario seemed pleased, and the Jury
arose amid great relief on the part OF
the audience. During the absence Of
the jury Caesario WAS removed TO his
cell beneath the courthouse, and the
Judge retired with his associates TO
await the return OF the men who were
20 pronounce upon the prisoners guilt.
When after an absence OF less than half
an hour the jury re-entered, the Judge
resumed his place and silence reigned
throughout the court. The prisoner -
brought in. and faced the court. Judge
BreuillAc turned TO the prisoner for .
moment. and then, addressing the Jury,
asked the formal question:
els Caesario Santo Geronimo guilty
q not guilty Of the assassination 81 the
President OF the Republr?'
There was some confusion - the in
terpreier translated to the prisones what
wAs said, but audible over the interpre-
ier's voice Was the reply Of The foreman
Of the jury. Guilty, without any e1-
ienuating circumstances" There was .
deep silence a. the verdict vas translated
TO CAesar,o, who received il with . smile
OF cynical contempt. The presiding
Judge ~ soon ~ the prisoner was 90
quainted with the jury's finding arose
and, speaking directly to the ASSASSIN,
said:
1.-THE court condemns Caeearic Santo
Geronimo TO death. You have three
days in which to appeal to the Cosst OF
Cessation.
To this the prisoner returned . ecorn-
full shout OF Nive ID revolution eociale
The anArchical cry WAS hardly uttered
when the gendarmee handcuffed Tie
prisoner and jesked him toward the
door leading - tAs cell beneath the
court. This door Wa opened hastily
Caesario was hurried through, and - he
disappeared the cry Of Courage. CON-
rades; vive l'anarchie I" Was heard echo
ing from the stone corridor through
which the assassin was being carried.
BY this time the Judge was bowling "a
his associates. TO the Public Prosecutor
and TO the counsel for the defense; the
audience began to disappear, the door
through which Caesario had passed wa
shut with clang, the door Of the Judges
room Was opened. the public vanished
