TOO MANY PARDONS.
EXECUTIONER DIVORCED.
WARSAW, August 28. Mme. Malinouske, wife of the public executioner, sued her husband for divorce on the grounds that his income has suffered through the falling-off in executions, due to the executive clemency of the President, who has pardoned most of the men recently condemned to death.
As a result her husband is no longer able to support her "in the manner to which she has been accustomed." The divorce has been granted. Not long ago the executioners in France complained that their incomes were suffering through the practice of commuting sentences of death to life uoprisonnient. They appealed to the President to discontinue the practice.
