Caserio's execution

A young Italian anarchist, Sante Geronimo Caserio, assassinated the French President Sadi Carnot, on June 24, 1894, in Lyon. Caserio, acting in retaliation for the execution of Ravachol and the subsequent ratification of the anti-anarchist lois scélérates ("villainous laws"), stabbed Sadi Carnot in his open carriage. The president died within hours.[1]
