clear that these crimes were the work

street, to see it full of people, rushing
in a ceaseless tide in one direction.
Wondering what the attraction could
be. I followed the ever-increasing
crowd, surging down the Rue Grande.
At the foot of the street was a large
open square, where the crowd formed
a perfect jam. From a platform at
the opposite side I distinguished dark
outlines that froze the blood in my
veins.
It was the guillotine.
It was not long until a bell tolled a
doleful death-clangor,and the tumbril
with the condemned slowly ap-
proached. The criminal took his situ-
ation lightly, apparently in good
spirits. He chatted with the gen-
darmes, puffing a cigar, and indiffer-
ently regarded the multitude. He
was a large, strong man of about 35.
Dark eyes looked pierceingly from
under the bushy brows. Vice had
stamped itself upon his face, which
wore a positively sinister expression.
I involuntarily shuddered as I beheld
the man standing before me. The
executioner addressed himself deftly
to his task, and in a few moments all
was over.
“Who was the man and why
was he executed?” I inquired
of a police agent at my
side. He looked at me with astonish-
ment and said: “Indeed, sir, it was
Jacques Reynauld."

Rue des Armes several men were pass-
ing along the Rue Grellard. They
had spent rather too much time over
their cups and were anxious to get
home. Suddenly a man clad in noth-
ing but his shirt appeared on the roof
of one of the houses, carrying a child
in his arms, and crying “Murder!
Murder.’ Passers-by could learn
nothing, however, except that the
murder had been committed in the
house. A rush was made for the
door, but it was found to be locked
from within. A few crashing blows
sufficed to break it, and a man ran up-
stairs. In the fore hall, at the head
of the stairs, a man was found with
his throat cut. He was dead. In the
chamber a woman was found dang-
ling out of bed with a similar wound,
and in the kitchen lay the servant
girl, disposed of in a like manner. It
was undoubtedly the work of the
same person that had committed the
crime in the Rue des Armes.
The young man who had been seen
on the roof the next morning gave the
following testimony:
"My name is Pierre Dulac; for two
years I have been employed in the
house of the murdered Manton. whose
family consisted of his wife, a child
and a servant girl. On the night of
the 23d of April we retired early. I
slept in a garret chamber; next to me
slept the servant girl, who usually
had the child with her. It was about
2 o’clock in the morning when I
awoke, feeling very thirsty. My
water pitcher was empty and I con-
her surprise Justine found the house
locked. She thought the wind had
blown the door shut, and she tried
the knob. However, the door was
