As Prefect Maupas had told M.Bonaparte, the Captain of the Republican Guard, Baudinet, was associated with Commissary Lerat in the arrest of General Changarnier.
Towards half-past five the _fiacres_ which were in waiting were called up, and all started, each with his instructions.
During this time, in another corner of Paris--the old Rue du Temple--in that ancient Soubise Mansion which had been transformed into a Royal Printing Office, and is to-day a National Printing Office, another section of the Crime was being organized.
Towards one in the morning a passer-by who had reached the old Rue du Temple by the Rue de Vieilles-Haudriettes, noticed at the junction of these two streets several long and high windows brilliantly lighted up, These were the windows of the work-rooms of the National Printing Office.
He turned to the right and entered the old Rue du Temple, and a moment afterwards paused before the crescent-shaped entrance of the front of the printing-office.

The principal door was shut, two sentinels guarded the side door.

Through this little door, which was ajar, he glanced into the courtyard of the printing-office, and saw it filled with soldiers.

The soldiers were silent, no sound could be heard, but the glistening of their bayonets could be seen.

The passer-by surprised, drew nearer.
