THE GLASGOW POISONING CASE.

of March. On the last occasion she spoke of the mar-
riage as being to take place in June. She spoke of no
doubt or difficulty about it.
Cross-examined—l live at Dumbarton. I was visiting
GlasgoW on the Gth March. I had visited at Mr. Smith's
house at Row when they lived there, and I also visited at
Blythswood-square when I was in Glasgow. Miss Smith
was not in when I called on the 6th March, tut she came
in while I was there. We went out together. She said she
wished to talk with me about her marriage, but I had no
time to wait. She said she would walk so far on the way
with me. There was a school promise between us that
whichever of us was first married should have the other as
bridesmaid. We went from Blythswood-square to Sauchie-
hall-street, and along it. This was the way I was going.
On coming to Currie'e she said, " Oh, just step a minute ;
I want to go into this shop." There were two young men
behind the counter. We both went forward to it. She
asked for arsenic. The man said she must sign the book.
She said she would sign anything they liked, and signed
"M. Smith," and asked if that would do, and the man
said, " Yes." Miss Smith first asked the young man,
" How do you sell arsenic ? Would sixpence worth be a
largo quantity ?" I did not sign the book. Everything
was done very openly. When we were at school together
at Clapton I remember something about arsenic. I remem-
ber either at lesson or in cur evening reading of our reading
an account of the Styrian peasants taking arsenic to give
them breath in climbing steep mountains, and about their
having a peculiar plumpness and rosiness of appearance.
I remember Miss Giubilei, who was a pupil-teacher in
the school. She was at the reading at the time, I think.
We were always obliged to be at the evening reading, and
I should think that Miss Smith would be there.
By the Court—l met Miss Smith by appointment on the
Gth March. She knew I was coming, and she wrote me,
making the appointment at half-past I saw her on the
30th. I think I was with her from 3to half-past 4. I saw
her then in her own house. I had been visiting Glasgow
for a week or two. Nothing particular passed between us
o f it
Mrs.together.
l vco t
on the 30th. I asked her about her marriage, and we spoke
(formerly Augusta Giubilei) —I was a pupil-
teacher in a school at Clapton in the year 1852. I never
advised the prisoner to use arsenic as a cosmetic, or to ap-
ply it to her face and arms dilitted with water.; netreindeed,
to use it in any way. I never had any conversation with
her about the use of arsenic, that I recollect of. I believe
I never had any conversation with her at all about the use
of cosmetics. I recollect a fact occurring on our reading
of mountaineers taking small quantities of arsenic to im-
prove their breath, and that those who so took it were re-
markable for their plumpness. I believe I never had any
conversation with the prisoners about this passage.
William Murray, lately page to, and residing with, Mr.
Smith.—l went to Mr. Smith's service in November last.
I slept in the room as you go in at the low front door, on
the left hand side. Miss Madeleine Smith slept on the right
hand side beyond the kitchen—a room which has two win-
dows to Main-street. There was also a cook and house-
maid in the house, named Christina Haggart and Charlotte
M`Leae. They slept in the room at the other end of the
passage, on the left. Miss Madeleine once sent me to an
apothecary about four months ago. I recollect her being
missed from home one morning. It was about six weeks or
two months before that I was at the apothecary's. I went
for prussic acid. She gave me a line, with the words, "a
small phial of prussic acid." I took it to an apothecary's,
Dr. Yoaman's, in Sanchiehall-street, but they would not
give it me. I went back to Miss Smith, and told her so.
She said, " Very well; never mind." She said she wanted
it for her hands. I did not know M. L'Angelier by sight
or otherwise. I have posted letters for Miss Smith. I
have observed some with something like that name, bUt I
never could make out what it was. It was my business
to lock the area gate, but I sometimes forgot. I went to
bed about 10 on Sunday, the 22d of March. 3: sleep very
soun'. I heard no noise before the morning. Miss Smith
had not gone to her room when I went to bed. It was on
the Thursday after the Sunday Miss Smith was found

shop. Miss Smith did not tell me to go to any particular
shop. She was in the bedroom, and called me from the

12 or 13. She always slept with Miss Madeleine in the
same room and bed. I had no charge of the back door—
only the front area gate and upper front door. It was ge-
nerally the cook who locked the back door, also the front
area door. I remember all the servants and family were
at prayers the night of Sunday, the 223. The usual hour
is nine o'clock. When I came down, I first went into the
kitchen, and stopped about five minutes, and then went
to bed. I was waiting at breakfast next morning. Miss
Smith was there just as usual. There was a young man
named Mackenzie who visited Christina Haggart at this
time. She is married to him now. idiss Smith and Janet
sometimes got hot water in a jug from the kitchen before
going to bed. I did not see Mackenzie that Sunday night.
Re-examined—l heard nobody go out or come in on the
night of the 22d. There 'are two keys to the area gate.
One of them is generally kept in the kitchen, banging on
a nail. The keys of the front door are generally left in the
inside of the doors.
Re-cross-examined—The entrance to the back area is not
a gate, but a door. It is too high for me to climb. There
is broken glass on the top.
George Yeaman, physician, Sauchiehall-street, Glasgow
—I recollect a paper presented to me by my assistant, on
which was written " half an ounce of prussic acid." This
was four to eight weeks previously to Glasgow election,
a
which was on the 31st of March. When the line was
brought to me I went into the shop re. I
Blythswooand saw a

told me he came from Miss Smith, q
asked whether ho knew what he wanted. He answered
that he thought it was poison. I then said if Miss Smith

have it. Miss Smith did not come, that I saw or heard of.

Cr oss-examined—Bptirchaseeweremade quite, openly.
Miss Smith was accompanied by a young lady on the first
occasion whom I did not know. The young lady said shealways thought that arsenic was white, but I Ohl her we
were obliged to colour it by act of Parliament.
By the Court--Arsenic is used as a depilatory because it
so affects the skin that it takes out the roots of the hair.
That is not the usual quality of a cosmetic.

Smith to kill rats, and do not recollect ever having any

there for that purpose.
Cross-examined.— qo were very much troubled with
rats, but had not used arsenic to destroy them. We had
used phosphor paste, and found it to be effectual. We
partly got quit of them by it.

ing. 1 was shown a variety of letters by the Procurator,-
Fiscal, and recognised them as Miss Smith's handwriting ;
and I recognised some of the envelopes as having come
from our shop. They were stamped with the initials
" M. H. S." specially for her.
William Harper Minnoch, examined by the Solicitor-
of
General—l am a merchant in Glasgow, and a partner
the firm of John Houldsworth and Co. I live in Main-
street, above the house of Mr. James Smith. I have been
intimately acquainted with his family for upwards of four
years. In the course of last winter I paid my addresses
to Miss Smith, and I made proposals of marriage to her.
She accepted these proposals. Tho time of our marriage
was fixed between us. Previously to that, I first asked
her generally, without reference to any time. That was
on the 28th of January. My attentions to awarel under-
had been such as as to make her qttite that I
stood,

was paying my addresses to her. She accepted me on the
28th of January, and wo arranged more particularly on
the 12th of March. From the 28th of January to the end
of March there was nothing which suggested any doubt to
my mind as to the engagement continuing,. I had no idea
that she was engaged to any other person, and I was
aware of no attachment or peculiar intimacy between her
and any otker man. The marriage was fixed to be on the
18th of June. Last season I made Miss Smith a present
of a necklace ; it was some time in January, before the
28th. She went along with her family to the Bridge of
Allan on the 6th of Match; she remained there till the
17th. I visited the family while they were there. After
leaving rreceived a letter from Miss Smith (No. 133) ;
that is the letter; it is dated "Monday" merely. After
she came homo from Bridge of Allan she dined in my
house with her father and mother ; that was on Mon-
day, the 19th of March. I met her at dinner again at
Mr. Middleton's on the 25th of March. I was not
aware of anything wrong at that time. I called on
Thursday morning, the 26th, at her father's house. She
was not in the house. I was informed she hail left
the house. I went to Rowaleyn in company with her
brother, Mr. John Smith, to look for her. We went by
train to Greenock, and then on board the steamer, and we
found her on board. It was going to Helensburgh, and
then to Row. It called at Roseneath, and then returned
to Greenock. We found her in the steamer a little after
2 o'clock. She said she was going to Rowaleyn. I went
on to Rowaleyn with her and her brother ; and then we
ordered a carriage and drove up to Glasgow to her father's
house. On reaching Glasgow I had no conversation with
Miss Smith. I saw her again en the Saturday following.
I had heard a rumour that something was wrong. She
told me on the Saturday that she had written a letter to
M. L'Angeliert the object of which was to get back some
letters which she had written to him previously. She
made no further statement at that time. I saw her again
on the Sunday. There was no conversation on the subject
then. I saw her on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday
morning she alluded to the report that L'Angelier had
been poisoned, and she remarked that she had been in the
habit of buying arsenic, as she had heard at Clapton school
that it was good for the complexion. I bad heard a ru-
mour that he had been poisoned. She said nothing, and
that was the last time I saw her. Before she made these
statements to me Iwas not aware that she was acquainted
'with L'Augelier. - I was not acquainted with him myself.
Cross-examined.—I was at the Opera with Miss Smith
and my sister on the evening of the 10th February. We
went to the Opera about half-past 7 o'clock. We got home
about 11 o'clock. Miss Smith returned with us. She had
been with us all the evening. The cab stopped at her door
and she went into her house. On the 26th of March I
suggested the probability of Miss Smith having gone to
Row, her father having a house there in which a servant
was living at the time. In consequence I and her brother
went down. When we met her in the steamer I asked her
why she had left her home, leaving her friends distressed
about her ; but I requested her not to reply then, as there
were too many people present. I renewed the inquiry at
Rowaleyn, and she said she felt distressed that her papa
and mamma should be so much annoyed at what she had
done. Mr. Smith told me that she had left the house that
morning, and I asked him the reason, and he said it had
been for some old love affair. I understood her to refer to
that in the answer she made to me. She gave us no further
explanation. She told me not to press her and she would
tell me all. We were only about three-quarters of an
hour at Row. We took her back to her father's
house and left her there. On the 31st of March it
was she who introduced the subject of L'Angelier's death,
referring to the report of his having been poisoned ;
that was about half-past nine in the morning. I had
called to inquire for Mrs. Smith, having heard she
was unwell. My meeting with Miss Smith that morn-
ing was so far accidental. I have mentioned all that
passed on the occasion. On the 29th I reminded her of
the promise she made to me at Row that she would tell me
by and by. I had not then heard anything of L'Angelier.
She had not then mentioned his name to me, but she said
he was a Frenchman. On the 25th I called before going
to Mr. Middleton's. I called for Mr. Smith, but I did not
see him. He was unwell and in bed. I took Miss Smith to
Mr. Middleton's. He is the Minister of the United Presby-
terian Church, which they attend.
The evidence for the prosecution was further adjourned
till Friday morning at ten.

FOURTH DAY.—FRIDAY.
After several miscellaneous witnesses and further medi-
cal testimony.
Christina Haggart, formerly servant to Mr. Smith, de-
posed to one or more clandestine interviews between pri-
soner and deceased at the back area door, but could not fix
any date, and heard no one come into the house on the,
night of Sunday, the 22d March. Had known of their se-
cret intimacy, and received letters under cover to herself
for the prisoner.
Two witnesses had seen the deceased about nine on Sun-
day night, going in a direction which might lead to
Bly ths wood-square.
A constable on the beat had seen him-once or twice near
the house, but not on the Sunday night.
Mr. and Mrs. Towers, Portobello, had been visited by
the deceased on the 16th of March, when he said he had
lately taken some cocoa and coffee which had disagreed
with him, and he thought he had been poisoned.
Mary Arthur Perry had been a confidant of L'Angelier
in his secret attachment, and knew of its progress and in-
terruptions. On the 9th of March ho said to witness, " I
can't think why I was so unwell after getting that coffee
and chocolate from her." Understood him to mean from
prisoner. He said, "It is a perfect infatuation I have for
her ; if she were to poison me I would forgive her." Wit-
ness said, "What motive could she have to do you harm ?"
He said, " Perhaps she might not be sorry to get rid of
me." Witness did not think, however, there was a serious
suspicion on his mind.
A debate arose as to the admission of the voluminous
correspondence founded on, which was objected to for the
prisoner on various grounds, but the Court overruled the
objection.
The letters have yet to be read.
