The Archbishop.s Murder.

NJ. Eyrard, sergeant major of the 106th at
TALON of the French National Guards, who was
imprisoned at La Roquette, gives the following
account of the murder of Archbishop DarDoy by
the communists
On Wednesday, May "a, at half past seven In
the evening, the director of the prison, one Lee
francais, q namesake of the member OF the COM
mune, and who had himself spent six wears at
the Bayne, assembled at the head of fifty federals
to the gallery where the principal prisoners
were confined. An officer went round 10 each
cell, summOning fnst the Archbishop, and then
in succession NJ. BOnjean, the Able Allard,
Fathers Ducoudray and Clair, and the Able
Deguerry, cure Of the VI Madeleine. As the prison
ers were summoned they were marched down to
the road running round the prison, on each side
Of which, as far as could see, were arranged
National Guards, who received the captiyes with
insults and epithets which cannot transcribe.
My unfortunate companions were taken into the
courtyard facing the infirmary, where they found
a firing party awaiting them. Monseigneur
Darboy stepped forward, and addressing his
assassins, uttered few words of pardon. Two
Of these men approached the Archbishop and in
the face Of their comrades knelt before him
beseeching his forgiveness. The other federals
at once rushed upon them and drove them back
with insulting reproaches, and then turning
toward the prisoners, gave vent to the most
violent expressions. The commander OF the
detachment even felt ashamed of this, and orler-
ing silence, uttered a frightful oath, telling his
men they were ssto shoot those people, and not to
bully them" The federals were silenced and
upon the orders of their lieutenant loaded their
weapons. Father Allard was placed against the
wall and was the first shot down. Then NJ. Oar
