DOUBLE MURDER IN FRANCE.—A double murder
was committed a few days ago in the bagne of Toulon, with
a cool premeditation of no ordinary kind. A soldier named
Huet, who had been condemned to death in 1848 for at-
tempting to kill one of his officers, but whose punishment
had been commuted, first to hard labour for life, and after-
wards for 20 years, was suspected by two of his fellow pri-
soners of acting as a spy of the police of the bagne, and
they did not conceal their suspicions from him. This roused
Huet's indignation, and he decided to revenge himself on
them. Ho accordingly armed himself with an axe, used
for chopping Wood, and went in search of those whom he
called his traducers. He found one of them fast asleep on a
camp bed, and with one blow on his head terminated his
existence, and the act being unperceived by any one, he
went to look for the other. He found him in his sleeping-
room, but not in bed, and in spite of his cries and vigorous
resistance, inflicted three such severe cuts on his head that
no hopes are entertained for his life. After having accom-
plished this act of butchery, be quietly gave his weapon to
the guard, who hastened to the spot, saying he had no
further use for it. As the lex talionis forms one of the
articles of the code of the bagne in cases of murder, every
man killing another intentionally, being put to death, Huet
will doubtless be brought to the scaffold in a few days.—
