THE SHAFTS ASSAILANT.

He Ta "A Frenchmun Who Has Served
Time For Preaching Anarchy.
Paris. Aug AT the meeting of the
cabinet yesterday it was announced
that the would-be assassin of MuZaffer-
Ed-Din, shah of Persia, had given his
name as Salson. A man of this name
who had been regarded and watched
as an anarchist disappeared from
Paris in 1895 and had not since been
located
Salson was more communicative
yesterday, and when an effort was
made to interrogate him he spoke
freely of Thursdays attempt and ven
tilated his anarchistic ideas, but when
asked II he acted as the instrument
of others he declined to answer, say
ing, however, that had he killed the
shah and escaped he would have killed
the cZar.
The discovery of Salson's identity
was made by means OF the Bertillion
system, his measurements agreeing
with a card at police headquarters.
When shown the card and photograph
the criminal said: Yes, l am Sal
SON."
his Iull name is i fTdHCOlS odl5oLi.
He is a Frenchman and was born in
1876. He was regarded as dangerous
anarchist, and in October, 1898, was
condemned to three months imprison-
ment for preaching anarchy. In June,
1899, he was condemned to eight
months Imprisonment for like Of
fense.
Inquiries 1t the workingmen's hotel
where Salson lived, and where he was
regarded a model boarder, brought to
light the fact that he had been work
ing at day labor until recently, when
his work was finished. He was then
unable to find new employment, and
became more communicative even
than formerly, though still keeping
regular hours. The last few days the
question of existence was difficult
one for him.
What his punishment will be Is a
matter of doubt. Probably it will be
a life sentence at hard labor, though 1t
is possible he will be condemned to the
guillotine.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
OF JAMES GEORGE
Claims He Fell Out Of a Hammock,
but the Hospital Physicians
Think He Was Kicked.

James George, of Boston, Mass,
who has been doing business as a
Scranton huckster for the past two
months, died early Monday after
noon at the Lackawanna hospital of
internal injuries received in a way
which is mysterious, to say the least.
George lodged at the boarding house
of Mrs. Wright, at 224 Spruce street,
and about 1.30 o'clock Sunday morn
ing was found lying in a small court
in the rear of the building, groaning
deeply. He complained to Patrolmen
Karius and Parry, who discovered
him, of having been kicked by u horse,
and when removed to the Lackawanna
hospital persisted in this story for a
while. 1t is now thought that a kick
did cause his death, but that 1t was
inflicted by some companion.
George declared that it was a
horses kick until Sunday noon, when
he suddenly changed his tactics and
told a story of falling from the rear
porch of the boarding house, while
sleeping in a hammock.
Monday an operation was found
necessary. and George was informed
of tho fact. He emphatically refused
to allow himself to be operated upon,
and although warned that his stub
bornness would probably result in his
death, nevertheless would not allow
an operation. He died shortly after
ward.
DIR. ]. w. Busch, senior house sur
geon at the Lackawanna, when asked
his opinion about the case, said "Well,
I do not understand how the man
could fall from n porch thirty feet
from the ground. strike the hard
stones, and not receive a bruse There
isn't a mark on Georges body, and
although l could not, of course make
any positive assertion, still it looks
to me as though he received a severe
kick from some one, and it was that
which caused the internal injuries"
Coroner Roberts performed an au-
topsy and decided that George
died of rupture of the blad-
de-. The coroner was undecided
as to whether or not he would
hold an inquest, and said that he
would confer with the police about the
matter before taking any action in
the case.
Mrs. Wright Georges boarding mis-
tress, said that about 1.30 o'clock Sun
day morning she heard n moaning out
side the house, and on looking down
saw George lying in the alleyway,
with a crowd around him. She sup
posed that he had gone to sleep in the
hammock, on account of the heat
indoors, and fell over the railing.
George was 30 years of age, and a
man of fine physique. He was unmar-
ried, and had no particular friends in
Scranton, except James Sullivan and
Mr.. Barrett both of whom lodge at
Mrs. Wright's residence, having come
here with George. Both are from Bos-
ton.
George seemed to feel no great pain
Sunday. and when seen by a Tribune
man said that he was merely bruised.
He maintained a reticent air. and
when asked his name, gave the fic-
titious one of James Grady.
Georges remains will today be re-
moved to New Brunswick, n. j., where
the deceased's sister resides.
