that in all criminals of the perverted
class-types of incurable diseases are re.
veaed.
Does society owe it to itself, from
humane considerations, to spare the life
but provide for the certain though slow
extinction of these decadents by close
confinement? Should we have new
system of classification of criminals that
would enable us to segregate those OF
inherited propensities, in whom mo6ificas
ton is impossi BILE, from the fewer whose
offenses are traceable to the influence of
environment, and bury for life the for.
mer. both men and women, in establish
ments especially designed for the pur-
pose?
In striving to maintain the affirmative
answer to these questions the Parisian
specialists will predicate their inquiry,
and whatever plan may be suggested for
pathogonomic and legislative adoption,
on the first cause of inebriate parent.
age.
The first class in the schedule of degen-
crates and incura bles, beings who do not
deserve death but should be placed beyond
the opportunity for procreation, will be OF
the genesis of drunkards. For them asy-
lums in which they may comfortably end
their existence may be provided.
Such institutions would greatly relieve
the penitentiaries of the countless degen-
crates who are of the order OF second Of
tenders; save TO the taxpayers a large
part of the money expended in chasing
and prosecuting what are known as "pro-
fessonal crooks and serve gradually to
diminish their pervert species.
VOLTA lie proiet!
The further effect OF the work of the
commission, if it is carried out to the an
ticipated limit, will be to stimulate the
safeguarding of society against the rap
idly increasing class of degenerates now
described as anarchists, whose mania
takes not only the form of a destructive
hostility toward property and Its owners,
but murderous hatred against all human
beings who represent law and order.
The impotency OF their numbers is no
criterion of their mental arrangement,
which is of an order that proceeds from
and reproduces members who are better
qualified for life of legal isolation than
the enioyments and benefits of the social
compact.
These men and women are essentially
generic and when science shall have de-
fined their species pathologically their just
and humane suppression may be brought
about

ASSASSINATION OF ROsINE RODIER.
designed by DGmbEane. ]

In this particular his ingenuity and
boldness should not avail. His peculiar
atrocities have been traced back and will
be proved against him for period of at
least ten years. An affair known as ''the
crime of Saint Marcellin," the slaughter
and defilement OF a girl before he entered
the armv, of which he denies having any
knowledge, was accom- plIshed by him.
The chain of circumstantial evidence is
well established, fact in ignorance of
which he is allowed to remain. 1t is also
known that he is the author of 1.-The cine
of Varacieux," similar in nature which
antedated his confinement at Saint Ro-
bert Nor are these shocking mysteries
the only ones of the decade past that are
now solved and given their proper place
in this great odyssey of Crime"
Vacher's conduct in prison has been
cynical ana calm. He speaks little and
reads and writes a great deal. He signs
his letters The hunter of shepherds and
- shepherdesses. The first day of his i'm
murement he had a choleric fit, the bur-
den of which was the complaint that he
could no longer continue his carnival OF
carnage. In every conversation with the
magistrate he insists particularly that his
blood is undergoing decomposition from
the effect of the remedy he took N youth
to save him from madness.
81 am an anarchist after my own
fashion," he then declares. Il have sui
fered. Society disgusts me. l would
have revenge by numbering it.
in the course OF the persistent interro-
cation to which he has been subjected
Vacher has given circumstantial account,
clear in every detail, as to the manner OF
several of his crimes, yet he sturdily
main tains in disregard OF the manifest
premedit tina, he has proved against
