i culiar conditions affecting members Of
this cult Is seen in the case of the young
| laborer Maurice Albaret, the manner OF
whose arrest mas been already protested
| to the minister of the interior. Without
doubt M. Albaret was taken into custody
on the strength of warrant which was
! perfectly in order. It is true also, that
charge, but that is another story, M.
Albaret being only technically innocent
| OF the particular offense alleged.
The police arrested the young man at
Levallois- Perret, at the very door of the
building where he lived. He was not al
| lowed to tell his parents of his deten-
ton, end besides all this, the concierge
of the house was threatened with prose-
cution, If she acquainted them with the
event
As result. the parents remained
three days without any news of their
! son. and it is not difncult to imagine
their inquietude. This feature of the
case has aroused the League Of the
Rights OF Man. and none of them In
willing that any more parents should be
timilaiiy distressed whether or not there
is any Qualification for 1t.
In cur opinion. it may be necessary,
upon occasions. TO arrest the innocent,
especially when 1t is not clearly discern
ible whether they are innocent, but 1t
should not be necessary to torment them
and their families with added pains IN
the ignorance of their whereabouts.
