"VICTIMS OF MAN”
MURDERERS HONOURED. FRENCH SECRET SOCIETY. (Sydney “Sun” Cable). PARIS, January 25. Red flowers blooming on the grave of a guillotined murderer at Toulon revealed to the police the existence of a seoret society with the object of honouring executed criminals,. as martyrs to man’s brutality. The French law forbids any mark on the grave of the guillotined. The members of the society are exclusively women, believing capital punishment to be barbarous. The murderer thus honoured shot dead with a revolver two polioemen. His grave bore, with the society’s inscription, the words: “He died bravely.”
