KILLED MOTHER
PARRICIDE GUILLOTINED PARIS, March 23. Barefooted, veiled, and wearing a dressing gown, which is the special dress of parricides going to execution, Paul Valence, 25, walked to the scaffold in the public square of Epinal, and was guillotined. He murdered his aged mother by heating in her head with a cooper’s mallet, after poison had failed. Twice he attempted to murder his nephews by putting rat poison in their coffee, and broken glass in their food.
