Mécislas Charrier (born 1895 May 2) was a French anarchist illégaliste, guillotined for an attempted train robbery in which a person was killed. Charrier was not the killer, but he defended his illegalist actions and defied the court to take his head. They obliged.

 
 

Mécislas Charrier (1895-1922) dies, guillotined in Paris. French anarchist individualist & illégaliste. Raised until the age of five by the anarchist Mécislas Golberg (or Goldberg).

On July 25, 1921, Charrier & two accomplices attempted to rob the First Class travellers on the Paris-Marseilles train, but things went badly & a person was killed. Afterwards in Paris, he was arrested, & his accomplices were killed by the police.

Charrier went on trial on April 28, 1922. Mécislas, while not the killer, argues before the court his anarchist illegalism & defies it to take his head. The court did exactly that, sending to the guillotine a simple idealistic robber.

At four o'clock in the morning, he approaches death in song, singing "l'Internationale", "L'hymne au 17e" et "La Carmagnole".
