CRIME IN FRANCE.

A young man named Delouesse, clerk in a bureau
d'enregistrement at Angouleme, was a few days ago
tried by the Court of Assizes of that city for the
murder of a woman of loose character named Louise
Bourguignon. He had for several years maintained
intimate relations with Louise, and in the evening of
the 23d of June last went to the house of ill-fame in
which she resided, and told her to accompany him
upstairs. She was eating her supper at the time,
and begged him to wait. He did so, but
told her to make haste ; and, as she kept him
waiting longer than he wished, he said angrily,
" You are a long time eating this evening." At
length they went upstairs, and almost immediately
after the girl was heard shrieking, "Help!, murder !"
Before the persons in the house could reach the stair-
case, she fell to the bottom covered with blood. " Who
did that ?" they cried ; and the prisoner answered in
a firm voice from the top of the stairs, "It was I, De-
louesse !" Some one was about to go upstairs,
p,
but
Louise said faintly, " Dont't go—he has got a pistol •
" I have no pistol," answered the prisoner, who slowly
descended'the staircase and walked into the room. ll'
was perfectly calm and impassible, and seemed pleased
with what he had done. Louise became greatly
ter-
insulting
epithets when she saw him. He applied some
epithets to her, and rushed on her to stab her wan a
poignard, but was prevented. A commissary of police
arrived, and he calmly gave him the poignard, 4
ob-
serving, " If the thing were to be done again, n, Iwoule
do it." He was taken to gaol. Meanwhile, it was
ascertained that the girl had been stabbed in eight
places, and she died in the course of a very short
time. It was proved that he had exhausted all
his resources with the girl, and had frequently
declared that she should die by his hand. He was,
it appeared, jealous of her. In his defence he al-
leged that the murder was not premeditated, but
that he had done it in a moment of passion, on the
girl refusing to restore two pieces of 20f. which
he had confided to her, and tellinglum in a taunting
tone, when he had questioned her about a man whom
he suspected to be hisrival,i that he might leave her
at once if he pleased. the jury brought in a verdict
of Guilty, and he was condemned to death. The pri-
soner heard the sentence without the slightest emo-
tion, but when he returned to gaol and was put. in
irons, he gave way to profound despair. After a
while, however, he became calmer, and received the
visit of the chaplain. He listened with great atten-
tion to his exhortations, and said that as he had
nothing to hope for from man he would endeavour to
make his peace with God.
In the last sitting of the Court of Assizes of the
Haute-Vienne, a man named Leger, and his wife
Marie, residing at the village of Labrousse, were
tried for the murder of the father of the latter. It
was proved in evidence that Leger, on his marriage,
went to live with the parents of Marie, a respectable
couple named Mores, and that after a while he got
wearied at the idea of having to maintain them.
This made him entertain a violent hatred of them, and
his wife shared his sentiments. He frequently beat
the aged pair with great brutality, and his wife seldom
hesitated to assist him in doing so. To his neigh-
bours he often said, "I wish they were dead. I wish
I could make them swallow a large dose of arsenic. I
would willingly give two casks of wine to have them
buried !" He and his wife at length deprived the aged
couple of sufficient food, and the woman several times
allowed bread to get mouldy sooner than give it them.
On the 26th of June last, the old man earnestly
begged of his daughter to give him a bit of bread,
but she peremptorily refused. Being very hungry,
he, with the knowledge of his wife, took a
goat to a neighbouring village and sold it. Before he
returned the female prisoner missed the goat, and
angrily asked her mother what bad become of it. The
mother returned some vague reply, whereupon she
cried, with a foul oath, " You have taken it, you
old wretch, and I will kill you !" The male prisoner,
who came in at the time, on hearing of the circum-
stance, flew into a terrible passion, and kicked the
old woman in a most savage way. The poor
creature went to meet her husband, and pre-
vented him from returning home. They proceeded
to a village at some little distance, and passed the
night in the house of a friend. In the evening of the
next day they returned home, and found the two pri-
soners waiting for them. The prisoners allowed them
to return to a barn in which they were accustomed to
sleep. Some time after the woman was seen looking
out as if to ascertain that no one was near. She and
her husband then went into the barn and demanded
the money paid for the goat, which was Bf. 50c.
The old man refused to give it. The woman
thereupon rushed on him, and struck and kicked him
with great fury; and the male prisoner also began
to ill-treat him. The old man rose and ran out of
the barn. He was followed by the couple, who re-
newed their brutality. Meanwhile the old woman
gave an alarm to the neighbours, and when they
arrived they found the old man lying on the ground,
with the male prisoner stamping on and kicking him,
and crying, " You old scoundrel, I'll kill you ; give
me the money." To which the old man faintly an-
swered, " Pardon, pardon." On seeing the neighbours
approach, the female said, " Leave him now, or you
will kill him I." But the man continued his brutality.
The neighbours at length rescued the victim ; he WES
in a dreadful state. He was conveyed to the
e
hospital at Itoehechousrt, but, though every at-
tention was paid him, he died in three days. L gar
and his wile were arrested. Toe former said, in his
defence, that it was his wife who had excited him to
ill. treat the old wan ; the latter accused her husband.
rho jury declared Leger guilty of having caused
death without having intended to commit murder;
and his wife guilty of having been his accomplice.
The Court sentenced the man to 20, and the woman
to 10, years' imprisonment, with hard labour.
