KILLED HER MOTHER
FRENCH WOMAN IN SHADOW OF GUILLOTINE AVARICE THE MOTIVE PARIS, Friday. The execution of a woman will be witnessed at Orleans unless the President intervenes and reprieves Augustine Agogne. This -woman strangled her mother in order to succeed to her share in a farm. French law maintains the medieval custom of specially punishing persons guilty of matricide. A male offender always goes to the scaffold clad only in a shirt. But no woman has been executed in France since the eighties, so there is some question as to whether the unnatural crime of Augustine Agogne will bring her to the guillotine.
