The recent double execution of Allorto and Sellier at La Iloquette lias again given i ise to a considerable amount of discussion as to the moral effect of the guillotine on thecriminal classes. It is quite pos- sible that President Carnot's severity in according few reprieved Las had a deterrent effect on the cutthroats who had learned to so much from the misplaced clemency of M. Grevy. This would seem to be borne out by the observations of the Abbe Faure, chaplain of La Boquette prison, who has just communicated a report on his ministration to the government. The able believes that no other punishment I which may be substituted for execu- I lion by the guillotine will have so j an effect as the terri- f Lie instrument of justice at the scr- f I vice of the public headman. Iu his report the abbe draws a realistic picture of the suspense in which the doomed murderer lives from day to day, until he heard either his summons to the scaffold or the news of a reprieve. Nearly all the '' murderers seek consolation more or less in religion, according to the degree of education which they have received, and none ot them give up tiie hope of a reprieve until the last moment. The condemned criminals rarely or never sh ep when they knowil that their time is approaching, or they do it is only to doze off into a horrible dream, from which they jump up all livid with fear and dread. Sleeping or w aking the guillotine. the lunette, the headsman and his assistants are for ever present to their imaginations. (Jut of eleven persons whom tiie abbe attended during his six years of office only three were really asleep when their sum- ? moils came. On the whole, the French system ol keeping criminals in suspense for - - g - j - weeks or months is a severe one; but neither the prison elm plain, who con-- j siders it his duty always to buoy up; the doomed men with hope, north magistrates and police officials wlmf deal with the dangerous classes. nr'J inclined to recommend its alteration iu anv oi its details. !
