An Unknown Man Tried to Assassinate
Him in Paris.
He Mounted the Wheel Was Seized by the Grand
Vizier and the Shah-Did Not Deny His Intention
When He

would-he assassin or his connections had
been learned that was not known Within
half an hour after his arrest. He main
tains absolute silence. The popularity OF
his accent, although he speaks perfect
French, mystiies the officials. and 1t nav
ing been asserted BY one OF these that
his accent was English, an American was
permitted to share his cell. The visitor
addressed him in English, but he gave the
appearance of absolute inability to under
stand and the visitor came away con-
vnced that he was not acquainted with
that language. The impression left was
that he is from Southern France, or, pos
sibly, a border Spanisrd.
While the popular belief Is that he had
an accomplice, there Is no evidence to
prove this. The police are thoroughly
mystified and disconnected. Although the
man has been seen by most Of the secret
service offciafs, not one OF them has been
able to recognize him.
Paris has received the news OF the at
tempt with but one sentiment that OF in
