An Extraordinary Criminal sen- tenced to Death-The Winner of the
 International Bicycle Road Race The Argentine Republic as a Site for the Proposed Jewish Colony,
 PARIR, May 23.-The Nancy court has
 sentenced to death an extraordinary crim.
 inal, named Eugene Mercier. This man

This he did by bending his victims head so that the spine was broken at the nape of the neck. When called upon for explanation of the boys death the muderer alleged that it was due to an ac- cident. Mercier also tried to murder the widow JactaPs brother, who was opposed lO hlS blStcI uaITl6g6.
