In the course Of the last thirty years
there have been twenty-eight murders or
attempted murders ON French railway
lines Most Of these have been In express
trains and during night journeys, AMI in
almost every case the assault has been In IA
first class carriage. Ii Is curious that
chloroform has been comparatively rarely
used on these occasions and scarcely ever
with success. The application OF the drug
causes, II is said, a kind of movement Of
repulsion which defeats its utility by wax
ing its intended victim. And this Is true
even II n narcotic is first used to make the
patient an easier prey.
OF the twenty eight attempts there were
convictions only in thirteen cases. More
than half the culprits escaped. One assas-
sin, having secured his booty, had the
courage 10 pull the cord, and, in the con.
fusion Of the stopping train. escaped away
into the darkness by the of side Of the ear
riage Fortunately he was afterwari ar.
rested, or the Grin might have become
more frequent. According TO French
statistician, France takes the lead In this
kind Of outrage. Her twenty-eight cases
are not approached by any other European
country. Austria has had one: Spain. two.
England, four; Italy. FIVE: Russia and
Turkey, each seven; while In Germany.
Switzerland, Holland and Belgium there
have been no instances OF murder Pail
