Prussian, Piedmontese bankers, and speculators at
Constantinople were swindled by means of them. One of
the party, the Count d'Arjuson, was arrested under a false
name, and was to have been tried at the presente Paris
for forgery. The woman, Desjardins, was arrested
atsssi
Turin,ons
and, having been surrendered to the French authorities, was
ordered to be conveyed under an escort of gendarmes to Paris ' •
but she succeeded in eluding their vigilance, and escaped from
custody at Bourjoin,
, in the department of the Isere. This
evasion having considerably impeded the course of justice,
the strictest orders were sent to the different prefects of the
neighbouring departments to trace the fugitive, and measures
were adopted by the prefect of police at Paris to apprehend
her, should she venture to the capital. She arrived at Paris
within the last few days, and took up her residence, under
the name of Madame de Doraville, at Dr. Pinch's maison de
sante, affecting to be afflicted with a disease of the chest,
which obliged her to consult that celebrated physician. There
was found in her possession a passport, delivered at Grenoble,
in the name of Louis Boujars, commercial traveller, from
Marseilles, with which it was supposed she intended to effect
the escape of Count d'Arjuson before Ins trial.
