prove thy* Labour was in the neighbourhood of
Halliard When the murders of which he and Au-
deny are accused were committed, and that he
was not, is he declares, at Toulouse. Much time
has been wasted in proving things which the pri-
soner never denied, and in accordance with French
custom, the court has gone into accusations which
have nothing to do with the present matter. It is
edifying, however, to follow the career of Jacques
Latour and the many crimes with which it is
marked. People who thought that they had been
robbed by him many years ago turned up plente-
ously. The prisoner was bewildered, and professed
his inability to recognise many, either by name or
face. The police have shown much zeal in hunting
up these damnatory episodes, and one wonders why
so great a criminal was allowed to infest the
country so long. Latour partly explains this
mystery—he avoided oaf& and railway stations.
The following are samples of the evidence.
M. Jean Fort, publican, said :—" The year that
Napoleon dissolved the Chamber I knew Latour at
Pezensa, where I bad en auberge. He did nothing
bat eat and drink. I mistrusted that man, and I was
not wrong. I had a daughter, and a servant who was
about to be married, and who had asked me to keep
her trunk ; there were 60 francs stolen from it."
There was little doubt but that Latour was the
culprit, but he was never tried for this act which
was thee brought up in judgment against
him. Another witness declared that Latour
lodged at his house in 1851 ; he was in
the habit of cajoling the servants and sleeping here
and there. He finished even by stealing in wit-
ness's chamber, whilst be was asleep, a box of
jewellery. The Procureur-General complimented
this gentleman on the soundness with which he
slept, and was met with the reply, "Ah ! mon-
sieur' I had just come from Avignon ; I was very
tired. If I was a heavy sleeper I should long ago
have been assassinated." In another part of the
proceedings there was a quarrel about dates.
Jacques Latour lost his patience, and said : "This
difference as to days was the subject of a discussion
between President Fort, who wished to make me
sign things which were false, and myself. Now,
don't let us make any mistake, for this is the best
part of the affair--(laughter)---don't let us go too
fast. This witness will tell the truth, he is before
Christ." The testimony of Dupuy was hardly
favourable to Latour, nor was that of Thirty's
wife. The Procureur-General read a deposition
made by a son of Dopey, when the counsel of the
prisoner uttered a remark, the blasphemy of which
would have drawn down perhaps more than cen-
sure in an English court—" These three accusations
are one—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."
