GU|LL0T|NES IDLE
 OVER ALL FRANCE
Partisan DecapitatOr Not Used
 in Past Three Years

Paris, Dec. 10. (UP)-The guillo- tine is becoming a relic of the past as murderers are granted more loniency in France today than ever before in history.
 Within four days, three self-con- fessed parricides and one sweet heart killer were acquitted. The cXecutioner has not been called upon to work in Paris for nearly three years while in the provinces the guillotine has not fallen in months and only a few times in the past several years.
 Sentences of death imposed on five women during the year for the most horrible murders. including the poisoning of babies and hus- bands, were committed to life-im- prsonmcnt by the President of the Republic. Ten assassins have just been excused from going to Devils Island because of delicate health.
 Madame Jane Weller who shot and killed her husband after an all-night party in the cabarcts of Montmartrc and Montparnasse was recently sentenced to five years inl- prisonment; but some legal experts declared she would have been ac- quilted had she followed a differ ent sort of defense. She claimed that she shot to save herself anl child. They said it would have been better had she merely argued. T loved him that's why l killed him."
 Jury's Scntimentality
 French juries are often sentiment tai. Although they see little sen timent in trying to save ones own life, they are apt to be moved to fearful generosity if a murderer swears he killed in the name Of lcve or because of passion.
 The Assize Court of the Var acquitted yopng Richard Corbctt when he declared he loved his mother so that he could not bear to see her suffering from cancer. He shot bullet in her temple. The jury understood and freed him of all blame.
 The jury also underst ood the pas sion which must have impclled Joseph Amar, Algerian shop-keep- CT. to kill his sweetheart when she asked him to buy her a new spring coat. He explained how he had sold out his shops at loses ire quently and moved from town 70 town to please her rowing spirit He had just sold out again when she asked for that sprins-coat. Ii was the last straw, he said. The JrrorS understood and the ASSiIc Court of the Seine acquitted him.
 Louis Marchand, 17-ycar old par ricidc, was acquitted at Rheims when he explained that he killed his father because the latter made tho boys mother unhappy. An other parricidc, Georges Toreillos, young farm-hand. was let off at the Assize Court of the Audc because oi practically the same reason. The lad contended that his father had made their home-life miserable by constant drunkenness.

GRAND JURY WILL
 !. CONSIDER KILLING
Florida Murder Case Confession
 duplicates Two Men

Tavares, Fla, July A P1The Lake county grand jury was called in special session today to consider the confession of H. w. Prescott alligator trapper of Orange county. that he and J. E. Pike of Winter Garden killed Levi Allen and Mrs Angie Gillis, elderly Mohawk filling station proprietors, on the night or July 6.
 Both Admitted Killing
 Prescott's confession was drawn from him after Russ Rogers ot Apopka told Lake county officials Prescott and Pike had admitted 10 him the day after the killing that they had slain Allen and Mrs. Gillis with hammer. Pike who was be- | ing held has refused to admit knowledge of the case. Allen, 1t has been reported here r formerly was a prominent dairyman l of Oxford, Mass, while Mrs. Glllis l was said once to have been an edl- tor of the Salvation Army "War try m " OFCeSteT. MuoS. NeiS llpo' : | believed them to be brother and sis | ter.
 According to Prescott's story as reported by officials he and Pike refused to pay for soft drinks fur nished at the filling station. When Prescott maintained Allen and Mrs. Gillis owed him money for alligator hides, fight ensued and Prescott was cut several times with a knife. ] Varied stories about his wounds later led to his arrest.
 Beat Couple With Hammer
 Pike, according to the reported confession, beat the aged couple with a hammer, and then robbed the station and left.

NINETEEN AUTOS
 ON BOARD YUKON
 PORT OF SEWARD

Once in great while these high priced big-time reporters overlook a piece of news worthy of special mention; this evidently has taken place in Seattle for not a word has been heard relative to the extraordinary large shipment of automobiles which left the Queen City, on the s. s. Yukon, for Seward and Interior points.
 It goes without saying that there must have been many more than those billed to this port. Any way, it is reported 19 automobiles will be discharged at the Port of Seward, and if that isn't a certain sign of prosperity or an increase in business activity, Somebodies hat will be eaten.
 Two of the cars will go forward to Anchorage; 10 (count 'em) for Fairbanks; two for Mckinley Park; one for Wasilla and, last but far from least, four for the fair city of Seward, the greatest town in the North, bar none. A Associated Press item has been sent to Seat tie, by the Gateway, calling the attention of the world to the movement of autos to Alaska and pointing out the fact if the country was such miserable place to live in as some have painted it, why all these cars?
