CROWDS SEE EXECUTIONS
MADE A HOLIDAY FOR MOB

BETHU-NE, Pas de Calais France.
January 1.-THE first infections of cap
ital punishment in France for a num-
Der of years past We're witnessed in this
town today. when four murderers were
decapitated by the guillotine. The exc
cUtions We're public and took place in the
presence of a large crowd.
The record of crime against the four
men was a long one. Working together,
they formed band which had terror
lied northern France and southern Bel
gium for several years. robbing. assault
ing and numbering at will. The muir
derers were Abel Pollet and his brother
and two other men. named respectively
Canut and PERU.
The condemned were ignorant up to a
short time before their execution that
they were to die. They had slept un-
disturbed and have had the serene con-
viction that their sentences would be
commuted They attended mass and
were then led out in front of the prison,
where the guillotine was erected.
Made Degrading Spectacle.
The executions were carried out rather
quickly. yet the multitude from the town
and the surrounding country. which
gathered early last night. was impatient,
and upon the appearance of the con-
demned began yelling for instant death.
The effect upon the crowd was the
most horrible feature of the executions.
AS Abel Pollet marched detiantly to-
ward the steps of the platform cries of
rage broke from the crowd. which en-
deaVored to break through the lines of
soldiers closely formed around the gull
lotine Old Pollet brutally repulsed a
priest who sought to console him. Shouts
of joy burst from the crowd as the knife
dropped.
cutions dispersed the crowd and ended
what was regarded by foreign observers
as a degrading spectacle and as suggest
ing terrible scenes of mobs athirst for
blood during the revolution.
Spent the Night Carousing.
The night was passed by >the crowd in
drinking and caroloing in the cafes of
Bethune which were kept open all night
for the occasion. Rain fell steadily. and
morning broke dark and gloomy. With
daylight the people swarmed from the
cafes and headed for the square in front
of the prison. They were hooting. sing
ing and laughing and exchanging coarse
witticiSms at the expense of the men who
were To be executed. The clamor against
the murderers was renewed as dawn
showed the Scaffold dimy lighted with
lanterns.
The French parliament recently passed
a resolution in favor of the retention of
the death penalty in France. and the
cabinet fortnight ago decided to carry
out parliament'S ruling.
The law permitting the infliction of
capital punishment had ben practically a
dead letter, for it has been the custom of
the president of the republic to commute
all death sentences to life Imprisonment.
There remain today eighteen persons in
France under sentence of DEATH
