PEOPLE CELEBRATE
F|ENDS' EXECUTION
TOWN GLORIES IN
DEATH OF MURDERERS
Three Criminals Were Most Atrocious
of Modern Thmes-ROasted Victims
Legs TO Extract Hiding Place of
HOards. Then Killed Them.

London.-Shocking scenes of levity
We're witnessed at Valence on the oc-
casion of the execution of three of
the most atrocious criminals of mod
ern days-Berruye Liottard and Da-
vie. The town seemed to be celebrat-
ing a public fair, and fireworks only
were wanted to complete the scene.
They We're members of gang of bur-
glars and highway robbers known as
the "Chauffeurs of the Drone De-
partment. Their nickname refers to
the tortures which they were in the
habit of inflicting on their victims by
burning their limbs. They have mur-
dered eleven people-mostly old men
and women-in the last three years.
Their usual method was to break
into lonely houses in the country
which they knew to be occupied by
one or two elderly people only. They
then bound their victims and roasted
the old peoples feet over a slow fire
until they revealed the whereabouts
of their money. When the burglars
had secured the money they put the
old men and women to death, and
burned the houses down. Davie, the
chief Of the band, did all he could to
cheat the gullotine Twice he tried
to open veins in his arm to bleed to
death, and he made desperate efforts
to starve himsef, This terrible three
were said to have committed more
murders than any band of brigands
known in recent times. When the
moment for the execution approached
the excitement in the town and the
whole country around, which the
murderers had terrorized increased
to fever heat, and veritable orgy
followed the death of the assassins.
