Paris Jury Comedies the Right TO Take
Life to End suffering.

Paris, France.--A jury in the assiz-
es court has conceded at least tacitly,
the right to take life in order to end
hopeless suffering. A workman by
the name of Baudin surrendered to
the police some time ago., saying he
had shot his wife at her request in
order TO put her out CT pain.
He was arraigned on the charge Of
murder. The evidence showed that his
wife was incurably diseased and sui.
fered continuously and intensely. She
appealed repeatedly to her husband TO
kin her He finally yielded and shot
her with revolver.
It also was shown that Baudin was
man of weak will, who was domi'
mated by his wife. The jury acqult'
.ed him.
