Fieschi

JOSEPH MARCO, (fe-s'ke,) a Corsican, B. 1790, conspired against the life of Louis Philippe, king of the French, in 1835, by means of an infernal machine of his own invention, failed in his murderous attempt, and perished on the scaffold in 1836. The king escaped with slight wounds, but Marshal Mortier and 9 others of the royal suite were killed. [s. 363]
