IMMEDIATELY CROWDS GATHER
AT THE SCENE
Paris, Aug 5.— A sudden official
announcement that the public
beheading would take place at 4
o'clock today in the boulevard front-
ing tha Sante prison, created a sens
ation in Paris, which had not seen an

but were kept back from the guillo-
tine bv heavy detachments of police
and municipal guards. Despite sen-
timent parliament has refused to
abolish the death penalty in France.
The victim was named Duchemin,
aged 23, a butcher. In 1908 he stab-
bed his mother, and, this not result-
ing in her death quick enough, he
finished her by strangulation. The
motive for the crime was robbery.

COURT HOUSE DE-
STROYED AT HOBART
Hobart, Okla., August 4.—The
historic old county court house at
