AVERSE TO BLOODSHED
(Received 17th March, 2 p.m.)
PARIS, 16th March.
A court-martial at Lyons acquitted two Frenchmen who deserted at the outbreak of war, and lived a solitary life in the Alps for twelve years before the gendarmes discovered them. They pleaded that they deserted because ,they belonged to a fanatical sect which forbade the sheading of blood. They even abstained from killing game for food while in hiding.
