Trial of Santo, the Assassin.
MORE ANARCHIST THREATS. (Per Press Association). Paki«, August 4. The evidence of the police at Santo's trial showed that the President, before he fell insensible, withdrew the poniard from his wound, and threw it into the street. Santo, at the moment when he inflicted the wound, looked M. Carnot straight; in the face earnestly, but did not speak. Santo feels no remorse, but looks upon his position as analogous to that of a soldier ready for any fate. Lyons is covered with Anarchist placards threatening to murder the President of the Court which tried Santo. In his evidence the Italian Santo boasted that it would be easy to kill the King of Italy in a similar manner to which President Carnot met his death. The jury were not unanimous in the sentence passed on the assassin. While being removed Santo cried 11 Courage comrades, long live Anarchy."
