Deibler,the public executioner, arrived from Paris during the afternoon, bringing with him the guillotine. As soon as the news of his arrival spread through the town a crowd assembled in the Grand Place, and stood there all night, in spite of the rain, which fell heavily at frequent intervals.

On being awakened and told that his application for pardon had been rejected. Savary turned pale, but shewed much firmness. He asked for a cigarette, which was given him, and after smoking it he listened attentively to a short mass. celebrated by the prison chaplain, who administered the last sacraments. He was then placed in a carriage, accompanied by Deibler, and was driven to the Grand Place. On alighting from the carriage he kissed the crucifix held to his lips by the chaplain. He was very pale, and kept his face averted from the guillotine. When the executioner's assistants commenced to fasten him to the plank he began to struggle, and succeeded in getting his teeth fixed in Deibler's hand, which he bit. It was several seconds before the executioner was able to fix the condemned man's head properly. Finally the knife dropped, and Savary's head fell into the basket. The body and head were placed in a coffin, which was rapidly driven to the cemetery and buried. Dr. Hallette, who examined the body just before it was placed in the grave, reports that the beating of the heart continued for a quarter of an hour after the head was severed from the body.  M.
