Doomed Man Faces Firing Squad
With Never a Falter and Falls Dead
at First Volley Demonstration
Against Spanish Embassy at Paris.
Barcelona, Oct. 14. Professor Fran
cisco Ferrer, the Spanish . educator,
and convicted' revolutionist, was exe
cuted at the fortress of Montjuich,
where the prisoner had been con
fined since hi? condemnation by
court-martial. The doomed man faced
the firing squad without flinching and
fell dead at the first volley.
Ferrer, except for a momentary ex
pression of emotion Immediately pre
ceding his death, retained' his com
posure to the last. Hjs attorney, M.
Galceran, who had defended the pris
oner bo loyally as to bring about his
own arrest for improperly addressing
the court, had obtained permission for
a brief talk with the revolutionist be
fore the latter was led to the ditch
where he was to die. To his attorney
Ferrer spoke feelingly of the work for
which he had sacrificed his life and of
the future of his daughter, whose
brave attempt to save his life touched
the father more deeply apparently
than any other Incident of his trial
and conviction.'
Paris, Oct. 14. The news of the exe
cution of Ferrer at Barcelona created
a tremendous sensation when printed
here. The newspapers issued' extra
editions with gi'aring headlines,' some
of them expressing the belief"' that
King Alfonso had compromised his
future by fnjllng to Intervene. - Interi
views printed show that many persons
prominent in the scientific and polit
ical world are both Indignant and
pained at the day's events in Spain.
A member of the institute said he was
stupefied at the action, which he char
acterlzed as an act of political can
nibalism. M. Relnach said' he had
thought it incredible that the king
would decline to intervene.. He add
ed': "Ferrer was the victim of the
monks, who are all powerful In Spain
now that they have been reinforced
by their colleagues who were expelled
from France. It was impossible of be
lief that Spain would dare to thus defy
the universal conscience."
Demonstration at Rome.,
Rome, Oct. 14. The execution of
Ferrer has caused a profound impres
sion here and there was a serious
demonstration of protest against the
aet,lon of the Spanish government.
There were cries of "Long live Fer
rer," "Down with the Jesuits," "Down
with Merry Del Val." The police and
troops succeeded In maintaining com
parative order and prevented the ap
proach of the demonstrators to the
square where the Spanish embassy
stands.
