In practice no member of the | publie, strictly speaking, ny thing of the execution the only eyewitnesses beoir nalists, a dozen m and twenty policemen The difficulty in finding a place for the guillotine since the Rogquetts prison was pulled down has siwavs been proffered as an excuse for the practical abolition of capital punish- ment which Paris has enjoyed or suf-| fered for the last ten years. That this! difficuity does not exist was shown | when the guillotine was erected at the middle of the 200 yard wall of the Prison de la Sante It stood in the centre of four chest. nut trees belonging to the double line of trees that border Boulevard Arago Opposite this wall are the grounds of a huge unoccupied con- vent, so that nothing overlooked the spot. The only drawback was that there is no door to the prison on this side. Therefore the condemned man. ! leaving by a door on Sante strest at right angles to the Boulevard Arago, | was driven some seventy vards along this street and then 150 vans to the | place of death. Some 1200 troops were on duty, barring road around the pricon. Double and some. times triple cordons both on foot and on horseback fifty vards apart made | it an assurance that nobody could ap- proach except thosa possessing a po- lice pass, At about 3.45 Deibler's men began erecting the guillotine. Silently, | without the sound of a hammer, with. | out a snoken word of command being given, it was out together by the light | of a candle flickering in an old time | lantern, and this was used even when | Deibler wished to test the machine | with a spirit level. Everything was! exact. In an hour's time one of the executioner’'s assistants blew out the candle. All was ready. The knife was run up to the top of the frame, but no test drop was made, so confi- dent was Deibler in his men and the machine, It was now the dawn of a perfec: summer day.
