PARIS, September IL. 1910.
The enormous increase in the number Of
crimes of violence committed by bands Of
apaches has at last reused the authorities.
The police are blamed by the people for
ineff1ciency, but NJ. Lepine, chief of the
police, replies that the socialist deputies
in the chamber voted against the measure
to protect Paris. NJ. Lepine also says that
the magistrates Of the correctional courts
are not without blame in the matter, be-
cause they will seldom infiict proper pun
ishmert on the offenders who come before
them for crimes of violence.

FRENCH TROOPER
DIES FOR CRIME
Grotesque|y Tattooed Man.
Stabbed His Superior Of.
ficer When Arrested.
n Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
PARIS, September Il, 1910.
The first execution carried out for sew
eral years in the French army took place
recently at Tunis.
Fulery, trooper in a corps of men
under punishment in Africa, escaped last
winter into the bush, where he lived for
weeks like a savage. Reca ptured and
brought to Jail. he stabbed with a knife
a sergeant who was leading him into
cell.
The sergeant was not badly wounded,
and came out of the hospital all right
again in a fortnight. But the military
code is severe, and a court-martial SEN
fenced the trooper to death for wounding
his non-commissioned officer
1t was not believed at first that the
sentence would be carried out, but Sep
TENDER the order for the execution came
from the war office. and Fulery was shot.
He died cOurageouSly.
He objected vehemently to being
blindfolded that the officer commanding
permitted him not to be. The condemned
man thanked him warmly.
Fulery having kissed the chaplain, be-
gan reciting the prayer Ave Maria. The
officer raised his sword and the company
fired The man fell dead instantaneously.
Fulery seems to have been a wild crea-
ture, apparently a noollgan from Paris,
where he was born. He was grOtesquely
tattooed all over his face.
Instead of natural mustache he had
an imitation one branded on his upper
lip. Round his right eye picture of
single eyeglass was tattooed. and on his
forehead was a woman's face.
The reason why the extreme penalty
was carried ont against Fulery, whereas
in the case of Grady, the trooper who
with another murdered Nine. Gouin in a
in ha can foI
sentence was commuted into one of hard
labor fer life. seems to be that the for
mer's crime. though far less great, was
one against military discipline.
