In answer to questions by The President Coet-
logon sand, that the four-barrslled pistol which he
took On the 2Slh OF February, for the first time,
belonged to M. de Poene, with whom he resided.
The pistol he had with him on previous occasions
was unit tor use. He nied that he had been the
M Caraby at all, and that his wound must have
been occaeioned by the rebound of the ball after
striking the wall. He said Madame Caraoy was
mistaken n say ing, that, when M. Caraby appeared
at the window, he (Coellugon) had cried, ;" Wait
I'LL ! am dressed! He had, ON the contrary, only
said that he would open the window. He denied that
he had fired second shot at M. Caraby. He sup
posed that his wound on The head was caused bya
blow from the pistol OF NJ. Caraby. He was laid
up by his wounds to the I'D March The bali was
not yet extracted
Witnesses were then called. Annette Trenet,
the cook, said that nj. Caraby had struck and
kicked his wife in her presence. They did not
live happily together. She had suspected her
mistress, had seen her followed by Coetlogon, and
had carried letters from her for him TO the post
Office. In dispute with her mistress she had
told her that she (wilness) was quite as good as
she was. Louise Becu, the bonnie, stated that
she had seen a man IN her mstress's chamber;
that her mistress had confessed to her that she had
f<fpf<{ r
Gated to Caraby the secret Of his wfe's miscon-
duct, ind that on 18th February her mistress had
directed her to fasen the door Of her husbands
room to prevent his going to her. Witness also
took place. Madame Caraby declared that
all the girls evidence was false Antony Caraby
gave an account of the events in which he
participated with his brother. The brother-in-law
Borgognon for the injury unintentionay done him,
but had not been accepted. Two witnesses de-
cared that Coetogon had always protested against
the supposton that he could have attempted to kill
Caraby. Nj. BOrgognon described how he was
wounded on descending the staircase of Carabys
house; but he asserted, to the establishment of the
court, that It was not the accused Caraby, but his
brother, Etienne. who had fired on him. On this,
Etienne cred -" solemnly swear to God that that
is not true" Another brother, Eugene, declared
that the pistol was really fired by the accused.
Several other witnesses were examined, but their
testimony added nothing to the information already
T.
Borgognons face bore few traces of the dreadful
injury he had received. He announced his inten-
ton Of making liberal present TO the hospital In
which he had been carefully attended to- Medical
witnesses described the wound Of Coetlogon as
very grave that OF Caraby was not important, but
ball lodged IN his clothes. The trial was then
adjourned.
The trial was resumed yesterday.
After the examination OF some witne sses whose
testimony was OF no Importance, the public prose-
cntor delivered his requsitory, in which he insist
ed that the offence Of adultery was fully proved,
and he dwell on the peculiar infamy of adultery
committed IN the husbands bed, whilst the hus-
band himself was IN an adjacent room, and whilst
an infant child was sleeping near He then insist
ed that Coetlogon had fired at Caraby, before ca
raby fired at him. AS respected the latter he left
it TO the court to say whether his attempt to kill
Coetlogon was not excused by the fact of his
finding him in adultery with his wife !; but, with
regard to the attack on Borgognon, made in the
belief that he was Coetlogon, the learned gentle
man submitted that, considering the time that had
elapsed, Caraby ought to have displayed more pru-
dence and moderation.
M. PALLET, advocate of Nine. Caraby, entered
into examination of the fac,s of the case in the
course Of which he read an affecting letter which
she had written TO her father and mother In 1889,
TO implore their pardon for marrying Caraby with
out their consent After relating her meeting with
Coetogon, and dwelling on the persevering at
tacks which that person made on her virtue, and
which she stouty resisted for some time, NJ Pail
let arriving at the affair of 18th February strenu-
ousy insisted that Nine. Caraby had not cried to
Coetlogon, when her husband was at the window,
''Take your pistol and shoot hm' She had, he
said, always strongly denied it, and she now au-
ihori2ed him to declare that it was infamous
accusation: M. Pallet took some pains to show
that the child was, as Nine. Caraby had stated
really asleep in bed formed by two arm CHAIRS not
lying by her side when she was in bed with Coet-
logon. He then made an earnest appeal to the hus-
band 10 pardon his wife, the mother of his children.
NJ. ml.Loc pleaded for Coetlogon He chiefly
insisted that 1t not his client who first fired on
Caraby; and he dwelt on his honorable character.
NJ. CHAlx D'Esr ANeE, for M. Csraby in very
eloquent speech, described the affection which
Caraby had borne TO his wife, and the pecuniary
sacrifices he had made for her. He attacked
Coetlogon in strong terms for the means by which
he had succeeded In seducng her; dwell on the
lnfamy OF compromising woman by persecu-
TONS in order to master her virtue denounced his
sudaclty IN committing adultery IN the very cham
Der and very bed of the outraged husband, and
whilst the womans children were near her. He
