After bis trial had proceeded for a some hours, Ravachol, with the ut- " moat coolness, informed the Judge a that he was guilty ol the charges [• brought agaiuat him, adding that he I® personally loaded and deposited the bombs, and that the outrages were intended to strike terror among the 10 citizens, and to draw the attention of the public to the wrongs suffered by the lower classes in France, lo . April 27. , r Simon, one of Ravachol's nccomy p'ioea, also admitted his guilt, but the rt others tried to themselves at >i the expense of their chief. In reply to a question by the Judge, Kavachol Is declared that he thought he was acting lawfully in the com Be he adopted, !' and he expressed a hope that lie would 8 be forgiven for his crimes. The jury, who were absent an hour and a half, a brought in a verdict of Guilty against d Bavachol and Simon, but recommended them to the mercy of the Court, as they considered there wpreextenulo ating circumstances connected with ut the case. The Judge sentenced each ot them to imprisonment with hard e labour for life, The others were nod quitted, and the Court rose at 3,30 in e the morning, London, April 27. 0 A large number of French Anar,l chists arrived in London yesterday, Eosie, April 27. 1 The Anarchist leaders throughout ls Italy were arrested yesterday annul " taneously. jj Paris, April 27, r Ravacbol and Simon appeared quite Ir unconcerned on sentence being passed a and they received it with cries of r " Vive l'Anarcbie," n Bavachol's counsel, amid loud 0 shouts of disapproval from those in ® Court, concluded bis argument for the l 3 defence by warning the jury that ii ,t his clients were sentenced to death new attempts would be made upon ,3 themselves. He strenuously urged y that the offence was only a political " one, The sentence created great surprise. y The Journal des Debats regrets it 'hat the jury were not courageous in ir their duly, Therot, the waiter who is alleged . to have been the informer on Bava-> i. chol, gave bis evidence with great • bravery. The sentence has been received in the city with great indignation, and it is generally regarded as a triumph for 1 the dynamite party, J Up to the present the police have A no clue to the perpetrators of the •, outrage at Yery's restaurant. There 6 is an impression abroad that the 6 Government will be overthrown, ow- , ing to its neglect to take precautions r to protect the restaurant which bad ? been threatened. One solitary police- ' man had beeu told off to watch the ® building. It is reported that those who arranged the destruction ofM, Yery's restaurant have fled to England. The drown Prosecutor made a fearless appeal for a capital sentence 1 on the Anarchists. Eavaohol's counsel, M, Lagasse, made a passionate • argument on hehalt of bis client, and it is believed that this to some extent led the jury to make the recommendation to mercy. The jurors who tried the Anarobists on emerging from the Courthouse were met with cries of" Cowards." London, April 27. Ificholls, the editor, and Mowbray, publisher of The Commonwealth, have been committed for trial on a charge of publishing a seditious article inciting the Anarchists to kill the Home Seoretary and Mr Justice Hawkins.
