The Aveyron assizes condemned him to death on 22 June 1910. His appeal refused, he was executed in Rodez on 28 September 1910, a half-century after the last execution there. The executioner Anatole Deibler travelled to Rodez with his guillotine and assistants. Several postcards about the event were published. Jean Terry was the penultimate prisoner to be executed in Aveyron. Transcription Transcription of ballad lyrics Pères, mères de familles Accourez à mon accent, Surveillez bien vos enfants Et par dessus tout vos filles Qui sont continuellement A la merci des passants. Cette pauvre jeune fille Chérie de tous ses parents Qui en étaient fort contents Car elle était bien gentille, Fut comme nous racontons, Tuée par un vagabond. Elle était des plus honnêtes, Ses amies vous le diront Et vous le répèteront, Elle n'aimait point la fête, C'était une belle fleur Non créée pour le malheur. Voilà qu'un infect satyre Caché dans l'ombre du bois, S'est élancé sur sa proie Dont la jeuness l'attire, Il abuse de l'enfant Et l'étrangla incontinent. Mais la Justice qui veille A saisi cet assassin, On l'a pris un bon matin Et la foule le surveille, Il ne lui échappera pas Jusqu'à l'heure du trépas. Il est passé en justice Devant de nombreux témoins On ne l'épargnera point On réprimera son vice, On l'a condamné à mort Et ne plaignez pas son sort.
