Lieut.. Anastay Guillotined in Paris
Crowds See the Executioo.
PAEls, April 9.-Louis Anastny, the
sub-heutenant who murdered his beDe-
tactress, the Baroness Dellard, on De-
cember last, was executed in the Place
de Laroquette at $40 this morning. In
accordance with the French custom
the condemned man had no knoWedgc
that he was to meet death this morning
until the prison officials entered his cell
and told him to prepare for execution.
The guillotine was erected in the usual
place, directly in front of the jail.
knowledge of the tragedy that
would be enacted there 5
morning had reached the gene.
public through the erection of tie
guillotine, and the usual crowd of sight
Beers, composed mostly of the lowest
dregs OF the city, were present to wit
ness the fate of the condemned.
Anastay walked to the guillotine with
out displaying any great amount of
nervousness. In fact, his bearing was
firm. He was very pale, however, and
1t was apparent that he had steeled him
self against the ordeal. He laughed as
ter was caused by nervousness, and not
by any lack of appreciation of his aw-
full position. Arrived at the
place of death the prelimi-
aries were quickly completed.
Anastay embraced the chaplain who
had administered the last rites Of the
church to him and babe him farewell.
Deibler (Monsieur de Paris), the execu-
toner, met with not the slightest resist
ance from the prisoner, and the latter
was soon bound and thrown upon
the sliding board which carries
the culprit beneath the knife. In
almost less time than it takes to word it,
Anastay was pushed forward until his
neck rested upon the block beneath
the razor-like blade suspended above
as the heavy knife dropped, and the
head dropped in the basket placed to
receive it.
The story of Anastay's crime is really
more like some of the creations of Gabo-
reau than shocking tragedy in real
life. Some little time after his arrest
Anastay made full confession. He
stated that he went to the house of the
Baroness, and as she opened the door
for him he guessed that her servant
was out. The Baroness received him
with great amlabllltv, and showed him
into her room, where they chatted to-
gether, sitting near the fire. Anastay
then asked her to lend him some
money, and as he met with refusal he
proceeded to take leave In
conducting him back to the door
Baroness Willard took him through
her sons room. It was there that he
drew a long knife from his pocket and
killed the detenseless old lady by
cutting her throat. She didn't at
tempt to struggle or defend herself,
but fell back with her head and
shoulders on the bed. He then set to
work stealing valuables and went
from one room to another, but without
finding anything. Then her heard the
Baroness servant. Turning to meet her
and determined to kill her, he struck
US with his knife, cutting a long cash il
his throat, but he did not infict q fatal
wound. He ran down stairs, and, he
says, only regained his self-possession
when he found himself in the open air.

WASHINGTON, D. G. April I'm the
Senate to-day Mr.. Stewart made per-

article III yesterdays New York Even
ing Post. containing a list Of mortgages
made to him in Alameda, Cal,
whereon there was an obligation
that payment should be in gold.
These mortgages, be said, had resulted
from sales Of property through d firm
of brokers in San Francisco. They
were drawn up on the usual blanks,
which contained an obligation for
payment in gold. He had never seen
them, but he had no doubt that that was
the cause. 1t arose from what was
known as the Pacific contract law,
which was still in force, and under
which the gold standard had been main
tanned. Mr.. Hale hoped that the Sem
ator would see to it that no such thing
should take place in the future, and Mr..

NEW LAW FOR INDIANS.
Abolishing q Grand s'ury ia II Reservation
Liquor Cases.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 9.-S anator
Sawyer and Representative Lynch are
working to bring about reform in the
manner Of conducting prosecutlonb for
selling liquor to Indians. A blla nao
passed the Senate adding ale and
beer to the list of intoxicants which
Section 2, l39 Of the Revised Statues for
bids being introduced into the Indian
country. Any person violating this law is
punishable by two years prlsonment.
1t is proposed to reduce this penalty
to one year, which would take these Of
lenses out of the class described as in
famous. and which require present
ments by grand jury. BY doing away
with the grand jury these offenders
can be speedily tried and punished
without having to languish in jail until
the grand Jury meets. Judge Jenkins
approves of this reform and says it will
effect great saving in court expenses.
Under the present law, time spent
in Jail awaiting trial is taken
into account in pronouncing SEN
tence, which appears to be light be-
cause, if the offenders were promptly
given a sentence of twelve months,
other people would learn that selling
liquor to Indians was serious matter.
The bill is now before Mr.. Lynch com
mittee, and he will have it amended as
above indicated
