subIcctinE Criminals to rcrribis
Ordeal

A law that has recently come into
operation gives prisoners the right of
communicating with counsel within
twenty-four hours after their arrest,
says Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Standard. One OF the immediate
consequences of this measure may be
to put stop to those "confrontations"
at the morgue. which are so dramatic
a feature of French criminal proceed
ure. With view to bringing a mur-
derer to confess, he is taken to the
morgue. and there brought face to face
with the body of his victim. Every
artifice Is used to make the confronta-
tion as impressive as possible, as 1t is
hoped that the terrible sight he is COM
PEELED to gaze on will SO trouble the
murderer that he will lose command
over himself and make a clean breast
OF his crime in his agitation When
he enters the room he can see nothing,
as the stone bench on which the body
is exposed is concealed by curtain.
The examining magistrate presses him
with questions, and then, at what he
considers the opportune moment. gives
the signal for the curtain to be pulled
back. The murderers who have stood
this ordeal without fiinching have been
comparatively few. The majority OF
them exhibit the utmost terror, and
implore TO be taken out of sight of the
corpse. There is chair in the room
where the confrontations take place,
in which the majority OF the most no.
torious murderers OF the last thirty
years have been seated. Their names
are inscribed on its back. one OF them
being Troppman, who. just before the

tire family. French criminal counsel
have found that these confrontations
almost always result in the confusion
of their clients, have looked into the
matter. and believe they have discov-
cred that the examining magistrate
has no legal right to subject prisoner
to this ordeal. For the future they are
