’ Parisians, particularly auttomo-

and his men approached a bandit,
who. proved to be Dubois, waa
preparing to mount a motorcycle.
He. answered the summons to
surrender by opening fire, while
he. retreated to the garage. At
the same moment there was a
hail: of bullets from a ‘window
and two detectives fell, one with
two bullets in. his abdomen. It
was Bonnot shooting from the
firat: floor.

The detectives returned and -a
general alarm was sent out.
Policemen, .gendarmes and all

armed with carbines, then began
to encircle the ‘building to: pre-

A ‘eart: was rigged up “with
thick mattresses as a baricade;
and the attacting. party slowly
backed toward the garage.

a great stillness fell. It-was 56

picture of the drama,

- When the cart reached ‘the

cooly placed two large sticks ‘of
dynamite ‘against the’ building
and ignited the fuse.: ‘The horse
galloped out of range.and the

This, opera-

‘came a terrific report and: a col-

Dubois dead. ~

They mounted a narrow ‘stair-
way and observed a man stream-
ing with blood, his left arm-in. a
sling, erouched behind a .mat-
tress. Blood was pouring from
wounds in his head and chest.

“Curse you, curse you,’ he
cried as he pulled the trigger of
an empty revolver. He reached
for poison in his helt, but -before
he could take it he was over-
powered, carried down and placed
in an automobile. It was. than
that the crowd changed into a
wild mob, howling for the: death
of. the bandit.

‘The soldiers protected hima with
thé butts of their carbines, : but.

the automobile started off, Jlitey-
ally crushing down a score of
persons in clearing a pathway
and ‘speeding to Paris,
’ Bonnot was unconscious and
died on his way to the ‘hospital.
The’: doctors found twenty’
wounds, There were three bul-
lets ‘in his head and two in his
abdomen. /

Dubois had three wounds, He
wore a belt containing poison,
but it is thought improbable he
had time to swallow the prepar:

On Bonnot was’ found a state-

part of an anarchistic confession,
of faith and concluding with the
words, believed. to’ have’ been’
feverishly scribbled at the last
moments: ‘'T die, Jules Bonnot,”
He was armed with’ four revok
