BOY MURDERERS.
TO BE EXECUTED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.) PARIS, January 25. Received January 25, 10.50 p.m. Tissier and Desmarest have been sentenced to death. These two boys (they are aged respectively 16 and 17 years) in October last brutally murdered and robbed a bank messenger named Andre after having decoyed him into a house, and then spent two days and nights in squandering the proceeds of their crime before they were arrested. They made cynical confessions and admitted that-the crime had been long premeditated. Their remorselessness was attributed to their belief that they would merely be confined in a reformatory until they reached the age of 21 years.
