THE TRIAL OF SANTO.
MORE ANARCHIST THREATS. By Telegraph. —Press Association. — Copyright. Paris, August 3. Santo has been sentenced to death. The evidence of the police at Santo’s trial showed that the President, before he fell insensible, withdraw the poniard from his wound, and threw it into tho 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. The Judge said the assassin was so resolute that it would have been impossible for the police to prevent the crime. Lyons is covered with Anarchist placards threatening to murder tho President of tho Court which tried Santo. Special.—Received August 5,0 p .m. Paris, August 4. 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 “ Courage, comrades, long live Anarchy.” The Court suppressed Santo’s speech to the jury, otherwise the case was reported fully. Received August 6,1 a.m. Paris, August 6. Santo has refused to appeal against his sentence.
