A SERVANT OF SATAN, _ 199 destroyed; all my ambitions are dead—I have nothing more to live for in this world. I am happy to leave it. The guillotine, toward which I am going, is a just retribution for other crimes. My sins have found me out. «<(Signed) CoUNT FREDERICK VON WALDBERG.” Such is the extraordinary history of the man who was guillotined on the 4th of December, 1888, under the alias of ‘‘ Prado,” and who, having escaped punishment for the innumerable atrocities he had committed, finally suffered death for a crime of which he was innocent.
