Boy Murderer.
AN AGED MAN KILLED FOR MONEY.
Crime Among the Children of France and
America. Constructed
Verdict by Foreign Jury.

OF 10000 criminals arrested in Paris in the
course OF the year-the figure itself seems IN
credibly large-i6, 900 had not attained the age
OF twenty. There is Just now an epidemic of
crimes of violence perpetrated by young men,
and il the thieves and assassins confined iD
French prisons were sorted according to their
age it would be found that the very large ma
10 ity were made up of youths between sixteen
and twenty. These statistics were supplied py
the prosecuting counsel in the last judicial sen
sation that has come before the Paris courts,
and the course of the trial supplied the explain
alton of the fact. 1t was a murder case OF ex-
traordlnary brutality. The victims were an
old woman of seveuty-eight and her iodger, the
organist of the parish church, an old man OF
seventy. The criminal was the son of the par
ish beadle, and the motive for the murder
was mere theft. Ths house was broken into at
night, the old man struck down and left for
dead on the staircase, and then the old woman
brutally murdered. Tho hoardings of both
a few hundred francs-were carried off, and the
thief arrested the same day with the money in
his possession and his clothes stained with
blood.
At the trial it was proved that a long career
OF crime eliminated in this horrible and
mercenary outrage-the evidence was con-
vincing, and the jury found the murderer
Guilty with extenuating circumstances 10
American readers the verdict seems incon-
cevable. Even for French readers it has to be
explained, and the explanation adds to the
difficulty. The prisoner was only eighteen. lie
had long, fair hair, blue eyes, and the face of
young girl. No wonder the French prisons are
| full of young criminals. There are criminals
| IN America in almost every walk of life. Grim
! inals in the church. in our homes and In busi-
ness. 1t is q moral crime for a person to go on
suffering from disease when there is no neces-
sitv for it. Read what those who have suffered

| Dear Sir:-I have used but 50 worth of your
medicine, and that for rheumatism, and l can

more good than any other have ever tried. 1

make to me you are at liberty to do so. Res
