This gruesome picture shows the fa.
nous guillotine. which is used to exc.
cute all French criminals. AT the
present time, there is strong wave
of sentiment in favor of abolishing
this relic of barbarism. A fact which
adds to the horror of the situations IS
that all executions are public. For
this reason. capital punishment is not
a frequent occurance I'm France, but
recently there have been a number of
executions, prominent among which
was that of Liaboeuf, the notorious
Apache. So serious was the expires.
sion of public feeling at the execution,
that it is believed the authorities will
soon take steps to abolish the guillo-
