Labédoyère was arrested, tried, and shot. It is said that the judges shed tears when they condemned the noble young man to death. His young wife threw herself at the feet of Louis XVIII., and, frantic with grief, cried out, \"Pardon, sire, pardon!\" Louis replied, \"My duty as a king ties my hands. I can only pray for the soul of him whom justice has condemned.\"—Abbott's Life of Napoleon, vol. ii. p. 110.
