THE RAILWAY 31UR`,ER IN FRANCE.

The investigation into this extraordinary event
shows that some of the details at first
in given were
not quite exact. It was stated that in the com-
partment of the railway carriage which the
crime was committed were found a snuff-box in
wood of the commonest kind, and a neck-wrapper,
and that there was reason to believe that they had
been left by the murderer. But the snuff box turns
out to have belonged to the deceased, who having
some time back lost a very valuable gold one, often
carried this other about with him, and always when
travelling. It is considered probable that the
wrapper was his also. Thus what was considered
one clue to the discovery of the criminal has disap-
peared. It turns out, moreover, that it was not
near the station of Noisy-le-Sec that the mur-
derer jumped from the carriage, but near that
of Nogent-sur-Marne, which is farther from Paris.
It is considered singular that he should have
selected such a spot, since close to the station is
a long viaduct, then a bridge, then a lofty em-
bankment ; but his foot marks appeared clearly on
the side of the line and down the embankment;
in the field, however, which is next to the latter,
the trace is lost. The supposition is that the man
went towards a Tillage called Chelles, and that he
there took the railway either to come up to Paris or
to go down the line to wards Strasbourg. A strange
circumstance has to be mentioned : In the compart-
ment in which the crime was perpetrated fragments
of pasteboard were picked up, and on being put'
together it was found that they formed the ticket
which M. Poinsot had taken at Troyes. The assas-
sin, of course, must have torn up the ticket ; what
his object in doing so was, is a mystery, and it is
still stranger that he did not throw thelpieces out
of the window. The Echo de l'Est of Bar-le-Duc
says :—" A description of the person of the pre-
sumed assassin of M. Poinsot having been sent off
in different directions, a gendarme on Friday ar-
rested, at the railway station of this town, an indi-
vidual to whom it exactly applied, but after an
investigation he was set at liberty." M. Poinsot
commenced life as a simple clerk to an avoue at Bar-
sur-Aube. He afterwards became advocate, and
pleaded before the Civil Tribunal of Troyes. Among
his clients at that place were the family of M. Casi-
mir Perier. M. Poinsot was 30 years in the magis-
tracy. After having been Procureur du Roi at
Troyes, he was appointed, in 1833, substitute at the
Civil Tribunal of the Seine. He was afterwards
named substitute of the Procureur-General of Paris,
and, on the 14th April, 1847, was nominated Ad-
vocate-General of the same court. He was dismissed
on the 29th Feb., 1848 (after the Revolution), but
on 2d May of that year was appointed a judge of
the Court of Appeal of Paris. On 6th April, 1857,
t,e was named President of one of the Chambers of
the imperial Court.
