PARIS, July 10
The French p5fical and military au-
thortties are extremely worried over the
case OF the soldier Gaby. of thirty-frst
regiment OF infantry. who is awaiting
execution after having been tried and
convicted by conrt-martial of the
murder of Nine. Gouin, the widow OF a
former regent Of the Bank OF France
Gaby and another soldier belonging 10

then took her money and vaiuaples.
Gaby was sentenced to death BY the
court martial. and, being soldier, rs
will have to be shot.
1t is the carrying out OF this execution
which Is causing the authorities Untold
worry. 1t Is the first execution Of It's
kind which the republic has had to carry
out. and II Is presenting quite extraor-
binary difficulties. Conferences haye
taken place between the judicial and
military authogities with a view TO as
cert aiming whether II Is not possible TO
reprieve Gaby, but the murder was OF
such brutal and revolving CHARACTER
that this has been held impossible.
Then comes the question, BY whom 10
the execution to be carried out: The
choosing or appointing of the firing party
Is task (which will cause great deal OF
consideration. II Is pointed out that the
ma jority OF the French army are not
soldiers by profession They are no, men
who nave volunteered or who have chosen
a military career, but they are soldiers
for the time being by the law Of the
land
To call upon such men. therefore. To
act as the public executioners OF a crimt-
nal is to place them In an extraordinary
and unfair position. and the military
authorities do not hide the fact that II
nring party Is taken from one Of the
ilne regiments some OF the men will de-
cline to fire their rifles or will fire in the
air, rather than for the rest of their lives
have on their minds the remembrance Of
the act in which they had been forced TO
, participate.
The arranging of the execution Is within
the province or General Brun, the minis
ter of war. and II Is understood that he
win endeavor to carry II oat more or
