THE BYFLEET MURDERER
AGITATION FOR REPRIEVE. M. HERRIOT’S INTERVENTION. PreM Aaeociation —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, July 31. (Received July 31, at 9.5 p.m.) The Daily Chronicle’s legal correspondent says that Vaquier was proved guilty on clearest evidence, but public opinion was disturbed, feeling that Vaquier alone was bearing the consequences of the crime. Tho public was not satisfied that full justice had been meted out. M. Herriot’s entourage emphatically deny that M. Herriot interceded on behalf of Vaquier. The French Government would not interfere with British justice. M. Herriot, however, sent a personal letter to Mr Henderson asking that the fullest consideration should be given to any extenuating circumstances. —A. and N. Cable.
