where the guillotine can be erected, but he
refuses to specify where 1t is. This is be-
cause a good deal Of objection has been
raised by municipal councillors. merchants
and shopkeepers Of the two districts where
In 1t was said that executions might take
place. These localities; are Montparnasse
and the nefghborhood of the Sante prison.
The municipal councillors of these wards
have asked NJ ROuvier, president of the

the Notre Dame district into a state of ex-
element, and they refuse to believe the
rumor that M Lepine has selected their
locality for executions. The morgue itself

part of the city. NJ. Lepine states that he
does not intend to give out the name of the
selected place until time for the executions
draws nigh. No one wants the guillotine.

some part of the city so long as there Is
not law ordering capital punishment to
be carried out in prison grounds.
