Framed Print of The French in Tunis: a military sentence of death, 1881. Creator: William James Palmer
The French in Tunis: a military sentence of death, 1881. A French correspondent with the Army in Tunis contributes the sketch of one of the two Arabs, who had been caught putting a huge stone on the railroad near Tebourba, being brought next day before General Japy, for summary trial and sentence of death. The superintendent engineer of the Bona-Guelma Railway was present, with the General's staff. On account of numerous attempts to stop railway communications in Tunis, the French Commander-in-Chief had given instructions to shoot all Arabs taken in the act of destroying the railroad. A train which left Tunis for Tebourba, on Oct. 24, was obliged to stop on account of the line being obstructed in the manner above described. A few soldiers...discovered several men hidden in the bush, and succeeded in taking them prisoners. One of them had also fired a shot at the train. They were brought before the General, who ordered them to be shot at the place where the crime had been committed. Accordingly, the execution took place, the same afternoon, in presence of several of the inhabitants of Tebourba, who had been summoned to witness the execution. The head of the victims were fixed up and exposed to public view as a warning to others'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
