"UNWRITTEN LAW"
OF AMERICA HAS
INVADED FRANCE
jury Acquits Youth Who
Killed Husband of Woman
He Loved.

PARIS. June %. - Prominent
Frenchmen and women, including
the country's best lawyers, writer's
and parliamentarians, have sudden
ly plunged into a controversy over
the application of something akin
TO the American "unwritten law"
but broadened to include every kind
of so-called love murder"
The discussion arose over the acouft-
tai OF young engineer who shot and
killed the husband of his former mis-
tress in the street, without any pre-
liminary discussion taking place. His
only excuse was that he loved the
woman and that his victim had TAX
en- her from him
The Countess de Noailles immedi-
.ately pronounced her opinion.
The jury was right" she said.
I'm a crime like this. where love is
so important an element. where
there is so much human tragedy in
volved, a jury has the right 10 find
that there were two victims-the
man who fired the shot. as well as
the man who fell dead at his feet. q"
ITO acquit such people is simply
bsurd,' replied Alfred Capus, we'll
known French writer and member
OF the French academy. They
should be punished like any other
murderers."
De Porto Richie. French play
wright. applauded the verdict.
Il am always happy when the
jury shows itself lenient in such
cases" he said. a death sentence
againt the young engineer would
have been monstrous."
Henry Bernstein, one OF the best
known Of modern French dramatists,
took exactly the opposite view.
There should be no such thing
as the unwritten law or the acquit-
tai of a person alleged to have been
suddenly moved by a great love to
kill another" said Bernstein. I'm
most cases real love has nothing to
do with the crime. Il is simply the
last act OF hatred directed by a weak
mind"
Minister OF Justice Bonnevay has
taken cogniza nee OF the controversy
by introducing a bill in parliament
20 permit jurors 20 comment on all
crimes and recommend sentences.
At present French juries only return
verdicts OF acquittal or conviction,
without comment.
