FRENCH POLICE.
THIRD DEGREE METHODS. 7~PARK, April 10. Almazian, a tailor, who was charged with the murder of his friend Francois Regaudin—the body was found in a basket at the Lille railway station—has been released after six months in prison, despite the fact that for a long time it was plain there was no evidence of his guilt. Meanwhile the clamour in the French Press is increasing against the third degree methods of the police. A committee of the' French Chamber of Deputies to-day adopted a bill limiting the powers of the police over individual liberty. The committee also called On the Government to introduce another bill to deal with arbitrary arrests and investigation of crime by so-called scientific methods. Meanwhile the police have no clue to the murderer of Francois Regaudin.
