This is Djamila Bouhired, 21-year-old Moslem girl whose death sentence is giving the conscience of France a workout. She was convicted and sentenced to the guillotine last July by military court which found her guilty of complicity in two terrorist bombings in Algiers that killed one person and wounded 40. Her sentence now is pending before French Clemency Board in Paris.
