half after eleven
In the interval which elapsed before eleven o'clock , the four accused shot themselves with pistols and stabbed themselves with blows from a poinard in prison . Leprêtre and Guyon , according to public rumor , were dead ; Hyvert fatally wounded and dying ; Amiet fatally wounded , but still conscious . All four , in this state , were conveyed to the scaffold , and , living or dead , were guillotined . At half after eleven , the sheriff , Colin , handed in the report of their execution to the Municipality for registration upon the death roll : The captain of gendarmerie remitted to the Justice of the Peace a report of what had occurred in the prison , of which he was a witness . I , who was not present , do certify to what I have learned by hearsay only . -LRB- Signed -RRB- DUBOST , _ Clerk _ . Bourg , 23d Vendemiaire of the year IX .
