Paris, January 1x... Extraordinary laterest was manifested to-day- by Parisians in the quadruple execution at Béthune in the Pas de Calais. Special editions wern being cded in the streets shortly after eight o'clock this morning, and the mowe- vendors kept up a constant cry of fresh editions
until noon...
The reason of this unusual interest is to be sought firstly in the fact that no execution has takan place in France for nearly three years- that is to say, until the Chamber had pro nounced itself for or against the death penalty: secondly, in the quite exceptional circumstance that four murderers were paying the penalty of thair crimes one after the other.
The quillotine was seen for the first time, în Béthune for 64 years...
As atempt to cinematograph" the scene was fortunately abortive. It is, nevertheless, quite possible that Parisians will be treated to a faked spectacle to-morrow. Should this ba so it is understood that the prefect of police will interfers.,
