ciriy the death of RAYMOND is demanded (;
ia the name of the wickedness, Of the hatred,
of the rcasrapce pf Idarsaud, the heed of
RAYMOND Is deruandcd. | have then to re-
pei double attack, a double accvsation.-
Our iwo adversarics have on their par, force
aud eloquence have for myself the con-
sciousness of duty, aud The profound con-
vction of the innocence of Raymond; your
indulgence must do the rest, aud my task
will be fulfilled,
After this debut, NJ. Thomas enters into
the subject.
I lie establishes il in the first place, that
for Raymond to he guilty of piracy, accor-
ding TO the terms of the law of the llth Of
April 1926, it is necessary that he himself
should have employed fraud or violence to-
wards the captain or eommanddnt, and that
he himself should have run away with the
ship. Blu; i, is proved even to the last ev-
idence, that Raymond did not participate
in the murder Of Captain Dubois, that he is
not guilty of any violence towards him, aud
that he did not run away with the ship.
/ Afterwards discussing successfully the ac-
cusation of fMarsaud aud that Of the prosecu-
ting officer, he repels with energy the quail
ificolien of chief of the complot so unjusly
bestowed upon Raymond, draws parallel
between the two prisoners, which in his o.
pinion clearly manliesls the active infrcnce
of the one aud the nulliiy of the other, on
board of the Alexander. He demands OF
the seven drowned bodies, the names Of the
true assassins, and he finds in their respon-
ses the justification of the innocence OF
II Raymond; afterwards he discusses one by
one, and combats with force all the charges
brough, against him as principal in the ac-
cusation. This pretended chief of the com
plot, this young norice of 9 years, what has
he done then TO bring dawn upon him the
punishment of death? He has made use
of u weapon that he might have the appear
ance of doing something. Ought he 70, to
have feared the fate of his friend Dosset D
/ l. it from hin, that Dosset demanded pity
it is not and every body knows it. Dosscl
threw himself at the feet of the tiger-king
who gave the orders, and of the liger-heads-
man who executed. Raymond would have
perlshed then if he had not acted in obe-
dience to Marsaud. La recapitula,ing the
various testimonies the counsel for the de-
/ fendant, adds will not speak of Adelcine
/ Paris she is a witness with testimony pre-
pared for the occasion, with regard to two
or three grand points. Adelcine, it is-it is
Marsaud. Her deposition is well under
stood"
NJ. Dein in his reply demands a post
punement, for additional information. The
government and nj. Thomas are opposed to
this demand.
The tribunal, after an hours delibcra,iou
declared unanimously that Marssud was
guilty of the charges made against him
and by majority of six against two, ,ha
Raymond was gully as an accompice
and both were condemned to suffer death
their execution being ordered to take plac,
on the place du Chateau, at Brest.
I, is thought demand will be made, b,
the. tribunal for II coninutation of punish
ment, in favor of Raymond,
Marsaud alone has made application fol
a revision.
We this moment learn thnt telegraphic
despatch announces the arrest of Jolly ant
Bellegou.
=. $. The Council of revision have ap
proved the judgment.
