"Who told you that you were suspected." asked Attorney Bottum. "I refuse to answer that o,uestlon." responded the witness. The court demanded an answer and O'Connor said he did not remember. "That' all." Phouted the state's attorney dramatically and then followed ji exciting war of words between the attorneys. After the announcement of A recess 3Ir. Bottum htd replied to a

reporter's question in a. vcic that could be heard by the retiring jurors and mentioned Superintendent of Police Rrenjian's name. "You ought not to say that in the presence if a jury, Mr. Bottum," said Attorney Donohue. "Say what?" demanded Mr. Dot tum. "Say that Superintendent Drennan assigned O'Connor on that oas" "I did not say it." replied Mr. Bottum heatedly. "You did," shoutd Mr. Donohue. "and the young gentleman there will bear me out." He shook a finder threateningly at the prosecutor, who was flushed with anger. The noise attracts! the attention of Judge Tuthill, wh had gone into his hamber, and he emerged just as Mr. Bottum was shouting back a loud retort. "t'entlemen. eni this disturbance," he exclaimed. "What does it mean?" "It means." answered Mr. Bottum hotly, "that Mr. Done-hue has tailed two gentlemen anl myself liars." " line you $". Mr. Donohue." Faid the euit excitedly.

Feb. :,:::) a. m. The execution of Vaillai.t was determined upon yesterday. Th news was only known last evening'. Tli" people began gathering soon afterward and the crowd kept increasing rapidly in the streets until 2:3'.' a. tn.. when a tine rain began to fall. Workmen then Marted in to erect bnrnVad s loa.liMir i:ito the square, into which the people wore driven by the police at ':2K The cafes and wineshops were n'l crowded with the lowest class of citizens, who loudly commented upon the injustice of sending Vaillant to the guillotine, as he had killed nobody. Four companies of the guardes and the republkaine and a squadron of mounted guardes formed around the square. Meanwhile the crowd continued to increase and signs ot approaching turbulence on its part were noticeable. An ugly rush of men and women up the Kue de la Roquette look place at 4 o'clock, but was stopped by the police. The wooden scaffold upon which Vaillant is to be executed arrived at 4:1j a. m. PARIS. Feb. 4. August Vaillant, the anarc'.ist, who was convicted and sontenced to death for throwing a dynamite bomb hi the chariu'T vi lepuMe, will be executed tomorrow morning. This setths the piestion w hielt has for some days agitated Paris, whether Vaillant would die upon the guillotine or have his sentence commuted for life imprisonment on the Is!" of Pines. The dec ision that he must die is regarded bore as a defeat for the revolutionary party and a triumph for the opportunists, who, since the bomb explosion. hae been demanding the enforce-incut of vigorous measures and the strictest application of the law as a lesson to the anarchists. There is no doubt that President Carnot, who has been anxious to act in strict accordance with the constitution, has been considerable perplexed as to what course he shoutd take in Vaillant's case. init to the I'rlxon. Th" correspondent of the Assöciab'd Press today paid a visit to the famous prison de la Rex met te, where the condemned anarchist. Vaillant is awaiting the approval of his day of execution. The Roeiuotte is a prison for persons sentenced to less than a year's imprisonment, and is only a temporary place of detention for those r.ndtrgoing longer terms. It owes, therefore, Its hard reputation to the fact that within its walls criminals condemned to death, sometimes as long as four weeks, await the reprieve or confirmation of the sentence. The prison is pltuated at the extreme end i'f Pans and In one of the poorer districts. The dismal character of the neighborhood is intensified by the dilapidated condition, by the .surrounding wretched hovels, by the shops containing exclusively funeral monuments, wreaihs, etc., and by the vicinity of the Pete la Chaise cemetery. It is in front of the prison gate on an open space between two small squares that the guillotine is erected on execution mornings. Five large grante slabs mark the exact spot ujon which it must stand. The ((Ute t.unrded. Not more than twenty yards from this ppot a sentry guards the gate ami announc-es visitors. In response to the corresfxindent's call a warder emerged from the side gate, looked at the pass and desired the visitor to cross at the yard and knock at another heavy gate. This second gate is the entrance to the prison proper. The warder showed the visitor to an office, where the latter was requested to wait. He had no time to enter Into conversation with the clerks, for the chief warder came in, introduced himself and said that he was at the caller's disposal. The prison d- la Rruette, which was designed by a German, is a three-storied building of massive stone. it is surrounded by two square walla, each about thirty feet high. A walk, fifteen feet wide, peparates the prison from the first wall and another walk, equally wide, separates this from the outer wall. Sentries are on duty day and night on both of thege walks. Only the most reliable prisoners are allowed, under escort, to sweep them. Ksocpea are thus rendered well nigh impossible. In fact, not even an attempt at an escape lias ever been recordeel. The prison proper contains two inner courts. The first and the larger of the two Is purrounded by the four walls, with nothing to relieve their monotony other than the four rows of equl-distant, heavily barred, square windows running in a straight line. The uniform of the prisoners la composed of a gray Jacket M lth bras buttons, grav trousers, gray skull hat and clogs. This was worn by a clean-shaven youth, who, as a distinctive mark, had two reel Ptrlpes on the top of his Jacket. He was busily engaged in cleaning the yard. In reply to a question he said that all prisoners undergoing imprisonment of over three weeks are shaved and that men whose behavior was good were allowed more freedom and were given employment as assistants to the warders. The ground floor of the prison is occupied by the refectory, the library und the workshops. The work of the latter is contracted by the government at 10 pence per day. Half of this la kept to defray the exgcnsQ pf tho inaintriuuicG uL tho

prisoners, the ether half is accumulated and given the prisoners upon their discharge. Among the Prisoners. On the occasion of the correspondent's visit there were more than one hundred and fifty silent prisoners polishing brass, binding books and manufacturing women's cheap shoes. Among these 150 clean shaven faces there were jail-bird physi-ogron-.ies, but many pale and haggard looks, inspiring mote sympathy and compassion than repulsion. Questioned as to the amount of sympathy different classes of prisoners inspire in the warders, the guide said that in the silence which is imposed and the numerous preoccupations which absorb the warders, and their ignorance most of the time of the crimes which bring the men to prison, they have no time to discriminate, and all prisoners are alike to them. The refectory, the chapel, the library and finally the ten punitive colls were next visited. No wonder there are not more of these cells, for when a man lias been in one once he never wants to return. Kach cell is ab ut eight feet long by five feet wide, one of the sides is occupied by a slanting woo-ltn couch five and ore-half feet long by three wid". For a pillow there is a sloping block of wood, and at the foot a slightly raised block. The light, which comes fp-m above, is just sufficient to make darkness visible. No bed clothing is given to the prisoner, whom tho government may condemn to as many as five weeks' immurement. His food is composed of btead and water and only once in four days a plate of soup. Jtoute in the Uiiilloline. Til" guide showed the visitor over the proun-1 which the prisoner has to traverse when lie leaves his cell f--r the guillotine and showed the room in which Iiis hair Is cut and the collar removed by the executioner. From this narrow room the condemned man is conducted into the guard room, then through the first gate an-? finally through the outer court, beyond which the fatal knife awaits, liefere having the correspondent went around the two walks and was shown the corner, now- railed off, whore Monsigneur Darhov and his companions were shot by the communards.

HIS ItlMi: AM) UlSIOItV l'tcitlH in Yailiioif's Life l'rior to Ills (reit le ht Coup. Auguste Vaili.mt was born at Mezieres, department of Ardennes, on Dec. -!, lv.d. He was an illegitimate s-'ti and led a roving life. At one time be lived in Kueno.s Ay res, and at another in tho United States, while he passed three months teaching school. He w.is married in tho United States and by this marriage had a little girl, whose name is Sidonie. He returned to Paris in l--7, entered into intimate relations with another woman named Marchal, a:id went to live in th" Montmartre district, where, in the rare intervals during which If worked, fie secured enipIom- nt in a fancy leather manufactory as a Workman on pocket books. An industrious life, however, had very little attraction for him and he preferred to be a vagabond and thief. No less than five times he was convic ted of pety crimes. Up t- P-'ti he called himself a social revolutionist, but socialism was too mihi to suit, his views, so he abandoned it t become an avowed anarchist. He became active as a preacher of anarchist propoganda while still retaining his membership iut one of the soc iali.-t groups. His mother lives at St. OiX'ii, near Paris, with an aged anar. hist. For a short time p'-evious to Ins commission of the crime for which he was executed, he acted as manager in the offic e of an anarchist periodical. In August. lV'.l, Vaillant went to live with his mistress on the second fioor of 17 Rue de la Rafmiorie, Choissy le Rid, paying his rent of G fran-s weekly with regularity and impressing his landlord as a sober and industrious workman. At this time Vaillant was employed in the Röthigen moroe-co works. Two weeks before the throwing of the bomb Vaillant asked his landlord to be allowed to pay the rent every month, saying that he had secured employment as a foreman In Paris at a factory whore the hands were only pai 1 by the month. Shortly after this his habits, which had been quite regular, became maiceably changed, and he was fre-nieiitiy absent at night.

"I am about to call for a vote upon the conclusions on the sixth electoral committee," when the explosion occurred. Instantly the chamber was filled with Mii--ke. Heart-rending cries were heard from one side and Abbe Pemier. one of the deputies, fell from his bench, hit by one of the pieces of the bomb. If the dynamite had Ptruck the fioor before exploding a- number of people would undoubtedly have been killed, but a woman sitting beside Vaillant In the public, gallery jostled his arm as he was in the act of throwing' the bomb, and this caused it to strike on the border of the gallery instead of on the floor of the chamber. As a result, the persons injured were mostly sjieotntors in tho galleries, and nearly all the d-q-utie escaped injury. About fifty persons were severely Injured and were transported in an ambulance to a temporary hospital, established in th- refreshment room of the chamber, cm her pet sons who were only slightly hurt went to their homes as sovii as they had convinced the police? that they had no connection with the crime.

For hours a comiany of marine infantry crossed their bayonets and prevented the struggling crowd of frightened spectators from forcing its way into the streets. Vot Sufojiectfd nt 1'irnl. At first Vaillant, who was among those seriously wounded, was not suspected as the criminal. He had gained an entrance into the public gallery and was one of the first to attempt to escue from the chamber, lb had been woiindfd in the nose and right leg. Hatless and bleeding profusely from his wounds, lie smashed with his cane a window of one of the doors in a furious passion, but was driven back by a soldier who leveled his bayonet at hini. He then went Into the refreshment rooms, where his wounds were bandaged by Dr. Miller, one of the deputies. Vaillant then walked around the building until one of the stenographers of the chamber, M. Paulida, called the attention of the commissary of ioliee to his demeanor. Questioned by the commissary'. Vaillant said that he waa M, Marchal. living in Cholssey-le-Roi, and that he was anxious to get home. H.was taken te the deiot of the prefecture of indlce, while detectives were pent to his home. They found that his light name was .Vaillant. The criminal waa then trans

ferred at 2 a. m. to the hospital Hotel Pieu, where shortly afterward he voluntarily acknowledged his crime. A Itepellunt Man.
