shooting German Deserters.

A correspondent at Coblentz writes:
A painful impression has been created
here by the following incident Three
soldiers of the line were undergoing a
long period Of Imprisonment in the Fort
ress of Ehrenbreitstein for desertion.
They had originally deserted at Saarlouis
and crossed the frontier into France, but,
on the persuasion of their families, had
surrendered themselves to their regi-
ment. Their term Of punishment was
seven years, of which only six months
had expired. Finding their life, as is
asserted, unsupportable, they determined
to drown themselves on the first favor
able opportunity as preferable fate. A
few days ago they were employed on the
Carathuse, the fine plateau which sepa-
rates the Rhine from the Moselle, and 1t
seemed fitting moment to attempt the
rash enterprise. One sentry alone was
in charge of them, and he witnessed
their fight. He Immediately fired,
and brought one victim down dead,
the bullet having passed through his
head. With extraordinary sang .frofd
and determination he loaded second
time, and again fred with fatal precision;
the deserter fell dead, pierced through
the heart. Once more loading, he fired
at the third fugitive, and the bullet pass
ing completely through his body, inaict-
ing frightful injury 10 bis intestines. The
unfortunate man was brought TO the mil
itary lazaretto in Coblentz, where he lies
in a hopeless condition. In military
circles this melancholy catastrophe is re-
garded as o 6tting retribution for grave
breach of discipline, G view Of the case
not altogether Shared in by the Giyil por-
tioa of the community. One thing is
certain, the needle gun, in the bands OF
good marksman, is p sure and terrible
weapon.
