rard, having first taken off a small
quantity Of illuminate Of mercury (for
all that was necessary was one grain
of this dangerous product to kill per-
son, and this machine contained 400
grains), had a pail Of water brought to
him. He then proceeded, with the
greatest of precaution, to plunge the
bomb into the water. Sheltering him

laid in the grass by an anarchist who
feared arrest and who did not want to
be caught with the bomb in his pos
session.
