Caserio Santo Heronymo, a 21 year old Italian anarchist who assassinated President Carnot, has recovered from the injuries and is now recognizable in a French photograph. Born to poor parents, he showed early interest in anarchist literature and was briefly imprisoned in Milan in 1902 for spreading anarchist pamphlets among troops. He later moved to France, where authorities believe he acted alone despite claims of accomplices.
