Massacre of French state prisoners shocks Paris crowd
Paris reports detail a brutal mob killing of about fifty prisoners escorted to the capital, with nobles and clergy among the victims. Accounts say Versailles prisons were looted and inmates murdered, while the Duke of Rochelaucourt and other leaders blamed for the upheaval are described in condemnatory terms. Reports claim up to fifteen thousand slain in Paris and nearby areas, and note Swiss soldiers pledging fidelity as new frontier battalions form.
