Louis Philippe in See also:July 1835, was a native of Murato in See also:Corsica. He served under See also:Murat, then returned to Corsica, where he was condemned to ten years' imprisonment and perpetual surveillance by the See also:police for See also:theft and See also:forgery. After a See also:period of vagabondage he eluded the police and obtained a small See also:post in See also:Paris by means of forged papers; but losing it on See also:account of his suspicious manner of living, he resolved to revenge himself on society. He took lodgings on the See also:Boulevard du See also:Temple, and there, with two members of the Societe See also:des Droits de 1'Homme, Morey and Pepin by name, contrived an " infernal See also:machine," constructed with twenty See also:gun barrels, to be fired simultaneously.

Fieschi himself was severely wounded by the See also:discharge of his machine, and vainly attempted to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape. The attentions of the most skilful physicians were lavished upon him, and his life was saved for the stroke of See also:justice. On his trial he named his accomplices, -displayed much bravado, and expected or pretended to expect ultimate See also:pardon. He was condemned to See also:death, and was guillotined on the 19th of See also:February 1836. Morey and Pepin were also executed, another See also:accomplice was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment and one was acquitted. No less than seven plots against the life of Louis Philippe had been discovered
by the police within the See also:year, and apologists were not wanting in the revolutionary See also:press for the See also:crime of Fieschi.
