THIRD DAT.

The President took the chair at 10 o'clock, and the
prisoners were introduced. The interrogatory of IL de
Bocarme was continued,
The President—Your wire has said that you wiped up
tho floor with two handkerchiefs; that you gave the
poison, and the floor had been scraped; by whom was
thstclone?—l do not know.

Did you not burn ono of your handkerchiefs?—l did
not.

Did your wife burn one?—l am not aware that she did.

The President—M. Stors in- his report says, that the
poison was poured into the mouth of the victim while be
was lying on the ground, and this report agrees with the
communication which you made in the prison at Tournay.
What have you to say to this?—l could not have made
the remarks attributed to me; my wife being innocent, I
could not have said that she had poured the poison into
her brother's mouth. I have always declared that my
wife was innocent.
But did you not say that it was your wife who had
poured out the poison ?—Yes, I said that, but nothing
else.
But you contradict yourself. You maintain that your
wife is innocent, and you agree that she twice poured
out the poison.—l have always said that my wife poured
out the poison without knowing it.
The keeper of the prison to whom you made revela-
tions stated in your presence, when you were confronted
with him, that you had told him that your wife had
poured the poison into the mouth of the victim?—lf I
told him so I stated what was not true.—(Agitation.)
Why then did you not explain yourself better?—l
said that I should wait to explain myself before the
court of justice, because I felt indignant at seeing that
I was made to talk while some one was at the same
time placed to listen to what I said.
Did you not say to the same gaoler that you had taken
warm water after having swallowed the poison in order
reported.
or I
ted.not
did
to make you vomit; and did you not make a similar
remark to the brigadier of gendarmery?—
say so; my remarks have been incorrectly
Did you not speak to these persons of the bottle and
the two glasses which were mentioned for the first time
yesterday ?—I did not.
You wrote to your wife when in the prison at Tournay,
and after inquiring after her health, and whether she
had any money, you add the words :
~
me any more,' and which words you signedDo not reply to
with a cross.
Had you written to her before?—No, Sir; and I did not
ask for any answer.

That, however, is not what you said in your letter.
What did you mean by signing with a cross ?—I do not
exactly know; perhaps it was only meant to express the
sad situation in which we were placed.
The President (to tho female prisoner)—Has your
husband written to you since you were in the prison at
Tourney Sir.
Will you explain how you passed the day of the 20th
N. ovember?—lt was about seven o'clock that my hus-
band carne to announce to me the arrival of Gustave. I
got up at nine o'clock. We breakfasted at ten, and we
afterwards conversed together.
When did you again see Gustave?—At dinner.
How do you explain the absence of your servants and
your children?—My children were usually in the room
of their governess.
The male prisoner, rising quickly, here said—My wife
was in the habit of sending away the servants when any
persons dined with us, in order to allow a greater free-
dom of conversation.
The President—You are not under interrogation,
Lydie Fougnies ; state why Emerance was sent to her
room?—She was in the habit of going there.
When she came to light the lamps, did you not say
later, later?—We did not usually light the lamps until
it was altogether dark.
Your husband accuses you of.
.having poured the
poison into Gustave's mouth.—(M. do 13ocarm6 here rose
to speak.) Sit down and be silent. (To the female
prisoner)—What do you reply?—No, ?—No, it was not I who
gave it.
