SAME OLD GUILLOTINEs.
Only Two Are Said to Exist in
France

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. July 2T.-Now that the Question
OF the maintenance or the abolition OF
capital punishment is so much to the fore
In this country. particulars of the guillo-
tines which have been used for the dis.
patch of murderers are exciting interest
1t is said that there are no more than
two In France, one being for service in
Paris and the other in the provinces.
In the French colonies there are, in all
nine more. According to an instructive
account just published by contemporary
the two guillotines provided for murder
ers In France are kept In a shabby shed
in the Rue de Ia Folie Regnault. in Paris,
There were constructed in 1870 to replace
those which had been taken out and
burned on the Palace Vendome during
the commune. BY an odd coincidence,
the first carpenter who was engaged to
construct the two new guillotines bore the
name Of Samon, OF grim notoriety. So
we'll was this gruesome work done that
these machines have worked ever since
without hitch, nor have they needed
the slightest repair. An old carpenter,
known as the Pere Julien, had a hand
in the construction of nine out of the total
eleven gutllotines. He relates that one
day, in 1891, an order was quite unex-
pectedly received for half a dozen, des-
tined for the colonies. How long does 1t
take to make a guillotine? he was asked.
A month, explained this authority; but
other people beside carpenters are natu-
rally busy on the job. such as mechanics,
metallurgists, locksmiths, blacksmiths,
painters and workers in copper and zinc,
not to speak of the providers of the bas-
kets into which the heads fall after they
have been cut off, The work Is done
piece by piece in secret. When every
thing is ready employers. workmen, and
then engineers are convoked by monsieur
the executioner in the Folie Regnault
shed. Then a bundle of straw is "ex-
ecuted." All the trades which have taken
part in the fabrication of the guillotine
are represented at this occasion
Did he feel at all queer when he was
planning the boards which were to form
the structure? Pere Julien was asked.
Not bit of it," he answered. mo more
than If had been planning the boards of
table. AS knew we'll that it would not
be for me. how could feel uneasy?"
What is the cost of the construction of
a gullotine?' was the. last query put to
the alert old man.
About 81 200 he replied; but you will
excuse me. as 1 am rather pressed for
time. / am at work on coffin That
sort of job is better. as there is always
something to do on 1t. The good like the
bad. are obliged to go through that or

people of Wexford and those of Dublin
is so striking as to cause comment.
